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.

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!
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.
Knob Creek - Great with smoky tones
Buffalo Trace - Very clean and crisp
Baker's - Wow, don't partake close to an open flame

Bourbon is a real bargain. You get a lot of quality and great flavor for your money. I also like scotch, but some of the pricing is a bit too high IMO.
