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.

Pappy Van Winkle is made in very small batches and they can be hard to find in stock.

So I usually buy 4 bottles at a time, if I can.

Love the stuff, but I just don't drink that often so my bottles are even older than what the label says (not that it means anything).
Knob Creek just introduced a Rye - a must if you like manhattans especially while spinning wax or vinyl!
Pops,

I assume you are referring to the Single Barrel Knob Creek Rye. And yes, it is fabulous.

Though I haven't had a chance to compare them, when I was applauding the Knob Creek rye, a knowledgeable bartender friend told me she found Bulleit Rye eve better, due to the even higher rye grain content.
Hi Roscoe,

Yes and it is fabulous - it isn't a single barrel though, it is a small batch meaning made in small batches from a select few barrels. Knob Creek does make a single barrel bourbon which is also excellent!

Bulliet is 95 percent blend of rye - very nice but a little on the spicey side for me and it is not aged as long as KC. I like them both!
