Favorite Bourbon Whiskey?

[ebklodt]

Woodford reserve
Larceny is new on the shelves and nice
My favorite is Noah's Mill when I can find it
All served neat.
Currently working through a bottle of Woodford double oaked...My wife loves it but I feel the oak overpowers the butter and toffee flavors I love about Woodford.

Four Roses Small Batch. It's a gem, but a bit pricey.

Even though, strictly speaking, it's a sour mash that seems to be targeted for bashing on this thread - I stay with Jack.

I actually just started collecting / accumulating whiskies. I have all types but concentrate on Bourbon and Canadian Whiskey. My favorite by far is Gentleman Jack. To me it is much smoother then regular Jack. I both drink it neat and make whiskey cocktails. My drink of choice through college was Jack & Dr. Pepper. I always thought they complemented each other better then Jack & Coke. Most bartenders thought I was nuts until they tried it.
I also have been going into the new flavors. I do like the Jack Honey and the Crown Maple. The Jim Beam Red Stag (Cherry) is good but I think too sweet. I made a whiskey sour with it the other night and had to cut it in half water it was so sweet.
I have seen a lot of mentions of Buffalo Trace and will have to get a bottle.
@Lawrence - You can keep your Wild Turkey 101. That stuff is like turpentine. :crazy:

 

[yazamitaz]

Makers Mark - one cube or neat

Knob Creek - same

Woodford Reserve - neat

Wild Turkey 101 is like turpentine? Maybe I should give turpentine a try then.

Maker's Mark

Knob Creek

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel
You fellas gave me a few new ones to try.

 

[twangthang]

Currently Knob Creek, but I love trying something new.

I have never tried Ezra Brooks... Gotta look out for that.

Cheers

Woodford Reserve for "everyday", Blanton's when it's more special.

 

[sparroa]

Buffalo Trace is my favourite. Always neat...
I haven't tried many, mind you, but I could be content to stick with Buffalo Trace. Beautiful aromas - it's a pleasure to drink.

 

[4noggins]

I totally agree with Boggler....Blanton's Single Barrel is my first choice.

Anyone ever try Rebel Yell? I have fond memories of that stuff. It used to be sold only south of the Mason-Dixon line.

This is my everyday drink - smooth enough to drink neat, complex enough to make a good Manhattan, cheap enough to always have on hand. It's the best bargain in bourbon, IMO.
It's in most of our Virginia ABC stores, even here outside D.C.

on rocks

 

[teufelhund]

Maker's 46, two cubes and you are good to go.

 

[frtimmyd]

Since the day I first tried it, I'm a Buffalo Trace man all the way.

 

[troutface]

Woodford Reserve for everyday. Hirsh had some nice old (and spendy) bottlings but I haven't seen them in awhile.

 

[backyardbriar]

Maker's is just not all it is cracked up to be. It is not terrible, but it is definitely not worth the price!

What I drink:

- Buffalo Trace > mixing

- Eagle Rare > neat / rocks

- Woodford Reserve > neat / rocks

- Knob Creek > rocks
