Knob creek, Woodford Reserve.

Been hearing alot about this buffalo trace stuff. Haven't really seen it. My local doens't carry it, and i've not really looked around for it, but i'm sure i can find it in the big city. May have to give it a whirl. The cabin needs a restock anyhow.

My buddy brought over a bottle of Elijah Craig the other night. Very smooth and not as sweet as it smells.

Most disappointing: Bakers.

Still hard to beat Wild Turkey.

I know it's not bourbon, but Jim Beam Black is also a favorite.

I haven't drank any bourbon for 20 plus years but I do believe Jim Beam Black is an aged (8 yrs?) bourbon.

Maybe you were thinking of Jack Daniels which is sour mash whiskey and often refered to as Jack Black.

Elijia Craig is my go to but Evan Williams single Barrell is great. I also like Knob Creek but rarely buy it since it's considerably more expensive. Sometimes I like to mix it up and get Buffalo Trace. I have yet to try the more expensive brands because I just can't justify the price.

Woodford Reserve. I have a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel that I have been waiting to crack open. For me, the best bourbon is the "smoothest" bourbon. Woodford Reserve definitely fits the bill (for me) on that front.

I know everyone is talking about Bourbon, but....

Bernheim Original Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey is great with a cigar. It's bottled by Bernheim Distillery, Bardstown, KY and it's made from Winter Wheat.

a friend of mine just nominated me to be an ambassador for maker's mark! not sure what that entails, but it has something to do with a cask w/my name on it and a trip to the distillery when it's ready! cool!!
