I'm still searching.

in between a few bottles of the Tennessee sour mash

Town Branch
Eagle Rare
Buffalo Trace
Makers Mark

Rowan Creek is one of my favorites.
Woodford Reserve
Eagle Rare
Knob Creek
Four Roses
Blanton's
Elijah Craig
Pappy Van Winkle (if you can get it or track down some of that massive theft)
Russel's Reserve
Willett
Noah's Mill
Angel's Envy

Stay away from that Tennessee sour mash stuff. Or use it to clean soot off your Quetico dishware.

hahaha.

but yes, you could do basic stuff: Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Evan Williams, Wild Turkey and their assorted recipes (Maker's 46 is particularly good, or Jim Beam Black)

(I spelled Russell's Reserve wrong, btw)

Don't let the plastic bottle fool you.  Ancient Age gets a 95 from Malt Advocate and I would concur.  It's been my everyday bourbon for a while now.  But, some places deserve better.

Ledaig
Ardbeg
Brora (good luck)

Is my first post really going to be about bourbon?  I guess so.  I took along a flask with my latest favorite, 4 roses small batch, on my first and only bw trip this year.  I am also a fan of the previously mentioned Makers 46, and Blantons.  In June,  I took a week trip on the Bourbon Trail, from my tent basecamp!  Grin

Woodford Reserve fan here.  I have moved over to to Bourbon after being a scotch aficionado for a long time.

Another Kentucky bourbon fan here.  Learned to love the taste when we lived at Ft. Knox for 3 1/2 years in the 70's.  My current favorites are Woodford Reserve and Elijah Craig, but I have no problem with Makers Mark, Russells Reserve, Eagle Rare, Bulleit, and probably several others.  Angel's Envy is nice, but in my opinion, not worth paying the extra.  Most of the time now I just buy Elijah Craig and am very happy with it, especially since I am not a regular drinker anyway.  Spartan1 is happy with any cheap whiskey; I tend to want something a bit on the smooth side.  We only mix with ice and a little (or sometimes quite a bit of) water.

We had a great time on the Maker's tour; still have our custom-dipped bottle!  Dipped one for Ho Ho and David, too.   Smiley
