x2 on the Bulleit, good stuff.

Old standby = Old Grand Dad

Used to drink it by the quarry, with a sweet tea chaser. Good times.

Two more not mentioned above:

Baker's 107 (Beam product).

Vintage Brand (17 years old, 94 proof) blended by a man in Bardstown named Even Kulsveen, supposedly from old family stock. Some people say he buys from other distillers. Either way, the bourbon is really good. This product is reportedly for export to Japan (for burgess), but available in limited amounts in Kentucky.

The bourbons I like are in no particular order

1792 Ridgemont Reserve

Labrot and Graham Woodford Reserve

Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon

I would like to try Pappy Van Winkle however I can never find it around here.

Knob Creek is the one I usually turn to when I want to spend over $20 on a bottle. I like Woodford, Booker's, Baker's and a bunch of the other single barrels but KC really hits my sweet spot. Probably because of the natural caramely sweetness it has which goes so well with a full bodied cigar.

For an everyday bourbon I am a huge fan of Evan Williams, black or green label but prefer the black. I drank Jim Beam for years before switching to EW and still find it a close second. Both are great mixed, on the rocks or neat. Inexpensive but fine bourbons.

I don't drink much whisky anymore, but Maker's Mark is a very good bourbon for it's price.

Surprised to read that Old Grand Dad is considered 'good'--I first tried that stuff when I was about 12, and I can still remember what it tasted like

when it came back up.
