Best bourbon?

Got a chance to A/B Eagles Rare 10 and Woodford Reserve last weekend. Woody was the clear winner, not even close....glad someone took my keys away from me - next Bourbon shootout will be Makers Mark or Bullett against Woody Reserve.

Try George Dickel Barrel Select. Real nice.

Blanton's single barrel, Russell's Reserve Single Barrel, and Russell's Reserve 10-Year are probably at the top of my list. Tried the 12-yr Van Winkle once at a restaurant in Louisville and it was superb. Can't find a bottle anywhere and not sure I could afford it if I did (to say nothing of the Pappy's ...anybody know where people get the Van Winkle stuff?).

I have an unopened Rowan's Creek I have yet to try but I remember it as being nice at a tasting once.

For inexpensive everyday bourbon I prefer Wild Turkey 101. And 1792 Ridgemont Reserve is $21 at my local chain store. As good a $21 bottle as I've had.

Update on the Rowan's Creek: it is a real winner, just as I remember it from a tasting I attended a few years ago. I highly recommend Rowan's Creek. I will compare it to Booker's in flavor, but at a significantly lower price for "everyday" sipping. (but at a lower proof too: Rowan's Creek is 100 proof, versus 128 barrel proof for Booker's).

Elijah Craig, hands down, as aged as you can afford‼️👨‍⚕️
