Bourbon!
Everyone seems to have posts for their beverage of choice and bourbon is mine. Which bourbon is your favorite?
I've got two that are in my top spot. Basil Hayden's and Blanton's Single Barrel. Both are so delicious and smooth.

I lean toward Knob Creek these days a little more than Maker's Mark.

Old Ezra is a favorite, but I have to take it easy...100 proof hits me harder these days than it used to. I also enjoy the occasional Early Times. Apparently, in the US it's not actually REAL bourbon, but the export is. Weird, huh?
But my bourbon of daily choice is Wild Turkey. Gobble Gobble!

Wild Turkey....OH. the last time I heard the gobble gobble I was young. After drinking all I remember is one of my friends saying is "the ambulance is on the way" no more turkey for me.

$35 is about all I can justify on a bottle. That said, here's my picks:
1. Van Winkles "Lot B"
2. Evan Williams Single Barrel
3. Wild Turkey Rare Breed (careful of the proof on this one)
4. Woodford
5. Knob Creek
If you ever see a bottle of LotB, get it.

JD is good and all... but it's not Bourbon, it's whiskey... totally different ... I grew up in Louisville, KY and Makers Mark is the only "real" bourbon... Knob Creek and Jim Beam are also good, but Makers towers over them in smoothness and flavor Originally Posted by tazz

Woodford, Makers Mark, or Bookers. My favorite is always changing depending which one I last shared a glass of ice with.

heh heh.
yeah favorites come and go.
The Van Winkle though. I did splurge on a bottle of Old Pappy. I'd have to have it side by side with the lot b. I've had both. Both excellent.
