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.

went and tried to preorder some pappy's the other day. Lady laughed out loud. Essentially zero chance. I'm about 50th on the waiting list and she says that something like 47 folks before me have to decline. Got some makers 46 as I noticed it and recalled the mention here. disappointing. for the price it should be better than the EW single cask but it's not. Keep the suggestions flowing yawl!
Pappy Van Winkle is made in very small batches and they can be hard to find in stock.

So I usually buy 4 bottles at a time, if I can.

Love the stuff, but I just don't drink that often so my bottles are even older than what the label says (not that it means anything).
Knob Creek just introduced a Rye - a must if you like manhattans especially while spinning wax or vinyl!
Pops,

I assume you are referring to the Single Barrel Knob Creek Rye. And yes, it is fabulous.

Though I haven't had a chance to compare them, when I was applauding the Knob Creek rye, a knowledgeable bartender friend told me she found Bulleit Rye eve better, due to the even higher rye grain content.
