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.

Woodfords Reserve is waiting patiently on the shelf.

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.

In my old age i just stepped up to Bourbon.
I started with Haydens simply because it was only 80 proof and had good reviews.I will work up to Blantons
Enjoy the game

I recently had a scarce Willett's 20 year. It challenges the Pappy Van Winkle 23 year for pinnacle bourbon ranking, honey smooth with a trifle more spice. The Van Winkle 20 remains a not-cheap but still more affordable weekly sipper.
