Best bourbon?

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!

Yes, I must be confusing the bourbon with the rye.

Evan Williams single barrell, Makers Mark, & Woodford Reserve are my favorites....

I'm getting 2 bottles of sealed/unopened Crown Royal that's stamped 1970 or 1975 (I forget)...how good do you think this will be?

Whiskey doesn't age in the bottle, what exactly is it? Plus the regular CR brand has no age designation on the bottle ...it is commonly believed to be 3 yr old whiskey just an FYI. Good and smooth but not very complex.
