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.

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.

Okay, first of all, don’t beat me up because my recommendation isn't a bourbon; it’s a rye and a really, really exceptional whiskey. Now, I’m a bourbon man through and through and... oh, the hell with it; I’m just going to put my reputation on the line and ask you guys to trust me. Buy a bottle of Whistlepig. Just do it.
I tried Basil Haydens and Woodfords Reserve,they just didn't do it for me.Maybe I'm not a bourbon guy.
Tempted to try Phaelon's recommended Whistlepig but for now its back to tequila.Riazul Anejo and Casa Noble are on my top shelf
Pops is right. The Devils Cut is great. Has more of what I like to call "Bourbonness" than anything at the reasonable price range it sits in. I find some of the pricey ones to be too smooth and lacking in "Bourbonness" Makers is a good example of ths when compared with lets say Wild Turkey 101.
