Best bourbon?


I noticed there are threads for scotch and vodka so we need one for bourbon too.
What do you think is the best bourbon? I can't pick just one but I think that buffalo trace and Elijah Craig are both very good, especially at ~$30 for a fifth.

It means MM uses red winter wheat in the mash bill, of course all bourbons by law must be made from 51percent corn MM is no exception. Some other bourbons like Basil Hayden for example use a higher mix of rye, giving it a lighter, spicier character. That's what makes bourbons special, strict standards but leeway to make each unique.
I may be repeating--but if it's not made in Kentucky, it cannot be bourbon.

Good listening, er drinking.

Larry, actually that is not true. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the U.S.
Pops,
Having grown up in Kentucky, I had always heard that--up to and including a quote from a movie which I've forgotten, however, you're right--I'm wrong.
Checking just now, figures show that all is NOT made in Kentucky--I thought that, as it emanated from Bourbon County, (hence the name I'm guessing) that that was the reason. But no. Sorry to mislead.
However, according to what I just read, (assuming that's correct) 95% of all Bourbon is made in Kentucky.
Whisky is made in may locales, but generally, not emperically, Bourbon is made in Kentucky.
As my dad used to say, NEVER, NEVER make definite, emperical statements of absolute fact, NEVER. lol

Good listening, and good catch Pops.
