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.

Woodford Reserve. It's smoother, has a bit more caramel, and is "deeper" than Maker's Mark. Knob Creek is my second choice.

Michter’s Small Barrel bourbon. A step (or two) above Maker’s, Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Woodford, Russell’s, Basil Hayden’s, even Blanton’s (my former favorite). Terrific for sipping straight, with a splash or a rock, and great for mixed drinks (makes a delicious Old-Fashioned).
