Best bourbon?


I noticed there are threads for scotch and vodka so we need one for bourbon too.
What do you think is the best bourbon? I can't pick just one but I think that buffalo trace and Elijah Craig are both very good, especially at ~$30 for a fifth.

10 year eagle rare is great stuff too. I also like makers mark, but I think it is a little overpriced and it is a little too refined at times fir my tastes (sometimes I want something with more balls).

The buffalo trace distillery makes some very good stuff.

I think heaven hill also does good work at a lower price point. They make Elijah craig and my favorite budget bourbon, Evan Williams black label.

Funny how little mention has been made of beam products ...

I don't know that I would say it is a beam product. They both have the same parent company but makers mark was independant for a long time.

Beam does make bookers, knob creek, basil haydens, and Bakers, which are well thought of.

Eagle rare is good stuff.

I have been enjoying Old Weller 107 lately. It's got a nice rich chocolaty flavor.
