I'll second the Woodford Reserve nomination. Bought a bottle earlier this week and haven't been disappointed. Looking to try Booker's next.

It's very good. Bottlet at barrel strength, though, so you'll want to open up the flavor with a little water.

For me...

Bourbon = instant headache

(Probably just underscores for a lot of you the fact that I'm a complete vagina.)

I just picked up a bottle of that last night. Due to on-call/drinking rules, I haven't cracked the bottle yet.

Would it be a travesty to make Manhattans out of that?

Absolutely not, although you should definitely try a Manhattan made with rye whiskey sometime.

Basil Hayden's is delicious
Pappy Van Winkle too!

Girlfriend got me this and two of these

Okay, okay, okay... maybe my tampon finally fell out...

I drank some of this stuff... actually a LOT of this stuff... on Thanksgiving day. Bourbon and coke. It tasted great. No headache. No hangover. A reasonably priced, and delicious I might add, bourbon to boot.

It does make a lovely Manhattan, I have to say. The only "problem" is that there is only half a bottle left after a night of Manhattans and TV.

Woodford is good but usually out of my price range. I normally have a bottle of Knob Creek in my freezer, but I like this stuff too:

Gotta agree with this one. Bulleit is probably the best lower price bourbon. Not as good as Pappy but much cheaper. I think it's better than Maker's and Knob Creek. They're all good though.

I have to go with Woodford Reserve (~$31/750ml) or Wild Turkey 101 (~21/750ml). Woodford is smooth with it's vanilla and tobacco undertones, but the dirty bird will put hair on your chest. Only to be enjoyed neat at room temperature, by the way . I've never tried pappy van winkle; what experiences have you guys had with it? Also, if mixing, why not save your wallet and just buy vodka?

Pappy had a large truncheon with which he slayed the babes....
