Good idea, OP! I found that I liked bourbon about 5 or so years ago. My now wife took me on a trip to Kentucky where we did most of the bourbon trail. It was a great experience! My favorite bourbons are, in no particular order, Woodford Reserve, Blantons, Four Roses (single barrel or small batch), Bulleit Rye, Maker's Mark Private Select and Knob Creak Single Barrel. |

 Current stock. Bulleit is probably the one I turn to as a buy in bulk and overall go to. Elijah Craig is one of my favorites. Moonrise is a distillery in Clayton, GA that's distilling Kentucky style bourbon. Owner is from Kentucky and learned there. I also enjoy Woodford reserve and 1792 when I want something different from my normal. I actuality, I'm not really picky and will drink just about any bourbon at least once. Have split bottles of Larceny, Old Crow, Old Forester, Maker's, and numerous others with @sourtherncross and even drank Peanut Butter Flavored whiskey with @KaiK |

We reorganized the liquor a few weeks ago, this is just the whiskey: With everything else, the decanter is Jim Beam white label, there is a pallet in the shop with several cases of that on it  ETA: Jim Beam is my regular mixer, I do like Bulliet and I think the 1792 Small Batch is quite good at it's price point. |

Last time I tasted Buffalo Trace i was dissappointed. I do like the Weller products though , problem is they are like unicorns around here. Very Old Barton 100 proof is good , but I think only sold in Kentucky(bought it while on vacation) Knob Creek Single Barrel and 4 Roses Single Barrel are hard to top |

As fortunate as I was to have it, I know I’d never really appreciate it. In the meantime, I’m really enjoying Four Roses small batch, Broichladich, and Balvenie for $28 to $60 per bottle. Might be time to go back on drinking hiatus... |

I hadn’t even really developed a taste for bourbon then but it was excellent. Not too oaky but smooth and mildly sweet. I’m still kicking myself for not buying a bottle back then, but $400 was a steep price for a bottle then as it is now. |

Attached File All my Blanton's, EH Taylor, Woodford, etc. stays on the shelf nowadays. This is all I've been drinking lately. Best value in bourbon, IMO. ETA Shit's all sideways!

I got to try the 18 year old at a Heaven and Evan tour a couple years ago, we dipped it straight from the barrel in the rick house. And yeah, I too am still kicking myself for not getting a bottle of it but that trip was expensive enough without dropping a couple hundred more for a single bottle.

But because every hard to find bourbon is in demand it is hard to find it at retail here. SB or SiB is about $99. I've seen it way higher as well. Buffalo Trace is like water out here, plenty to be found. |
