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.

I've "auditioned" all the Bourbon mentioned & definitely concur with most of the preceeding comments.
Recently tried Spring Mill an Indiana Bourbon Whiskey at a friend's house. Upon the 1st sip, I grabbed the bottle to check it's proof because it was so smooth. It was 90 proof. After I viewed their website, I had to agree with their marketing blurb: "dangerously drinkable at 90 proof".
Always nice to find/try something different/new....
I had Eagles Rare last week and really liked it, would love to try Blantons Reserve
I tried Blanton's but it didn't do much for me.
For smooooooooooth I like Bullit.
I guess Bourbon is like stereo components,so many choices.
At least differing opinions dont become blown up arguments
Just picked up a bottle of the Four Roses. I hope to try it out this weekend with a 14oz. Porterhouse and all the trimmings.
There seems to be a site for everything and I recently came across this article:
http://bourbonr.com/blog/poor-mans-pappy/
Since the theft of that truck from Buffalo Trace with all the Pappy on it, prices have skyrocketed due to supply and demand and good old hype and spin.

According to this gent, Weller's stuff is made the same way by the same folk who make Pappy Van Winkle (and Wellers may be reopening as well) so he did some mixing and came up with his "poor man's Pappy".

Going to the home page will introduce you to all there is to know about bourbons and whiskeys: blogs, forums, constant news updates on releases, etc.

Just thought this might be of use to some you guys.

All the best,
