Best bourbon?

Jim Beam is introducing a bourbon called Devil's Cut - it is a play on the "Angels Share" which is the roughly 30% that evaporates while aging in the barrel. There is bourbon left in the wood after dumping, Beam has found a way to extract that and marry it with 6 year old Jim Beam and bottled at 90 proof. I just tried some - it is spectacular! The wood and tannins from the barrel give it full-bodied flavor with a nice long finish - yummy!

Pappy's 23 years is best, and can convince even a Scotch snob that Bourbon is a serious drink. Right behind it is Willett 18. Pappy's 20 years is terrific, and almost an entirely different thing from the 23, more rye-like in being spicier.

Woodford Reserve, Basil Hayden, Booker's, Blanton's, Maker's 46 all offer distinctly different spins on Bourbon at daily prices, to equally good quality levels.

Not a Bourbon, but I have to mention Bernheim Original Wheat Whiskey for being an exceptional medium for ingesting alcohol, and it happens to be quite affordable.

Gonna try to re-start this thread.
Right now its Basil Hayden
Woodfords Reserve is waiting patiently on the shelf.
Has any one found something new and changed there opinion ??

Just finished Woodfords Reserve (wasn't that impressed) and getting ready to open Knob Creek for the 'Big Game'.

I think I still prefer Blanton's and Basil Hayden for sentimental reasons.

Enjoy Responsibly.
