[QUOTE="LPcreation, post: 195790, member: 1863"] Bourbon is my thing! I'll add a few thoughts and touch on a bourbon or two I haven't seen mentioned.... Booker's is fantastic and absolutely worth it, but it should be reserved for special occassions only. It's easily the strongest bourbon I've had and it's surprisingly smooth with a LONG finish. The deep amber color and vanilla/caramel notes really come through. Old Grandad 101 is comparable for cheaper. It's not on the same level as Booker's but still good and crazy strong with a long finish. I found Bulliet to be hit or miss. I seem to remember the brand switched distillers (i think Four Roses was involved) and whenever the switch took place, quality control suffered. Regardless, it's pretty cheap so I almost always have a bottle. While I'm on value bourbons, Buffalo Trace cannot be beat. $20-$25 for a bottle and quality bourbon. Lots of vanilla in this one. I like it with 1 or 2 rocks, but it's fine to drink straight. It's my everyday bourbon. Anyone try the Maker's 46? They use a different aging process (i think french oak). It's good but has a different finish than most bourbons. My wife loves mixing it with Barq's root beer. I like 46 or Angel's Envy (bourbon aged in port wine barrel) to mix it up. Woodford Reserve is another great bourbon, although it's in the upper range of price. I think it's the bourbon of the Kentucky Derby. I personally think it's a small step up from Buffalo Trace with a big jump in price. That's not knocking Woodford as much as it's complimenting BT. Woodford is really good stuff and worth the price (because BT is a steal). Knob Creek is nice and has a really strong finish. Charred wood is what I get. I'll pipe down now......love the thread!
