Two fingers of Elmer T Lee and 3 drips of water.

Haven't had that, but Glen Livet neat has always worked.

I don’t consider whiskey on ice a mixed drink. For true mixed drinks it’s har to beat a premium long island

so true...

The perfect mixed drink must include bourbon and glass........... the options are virtually limitless

Yup good bourbon and a cube or 2. Or none. Blantons and Four Rose's Single Barrel are 2 of my favs. Woodford Reserve and 1792 are my go to's. Preferably in the 1.75L variety.
