The Wall Street Journal ran a good article Saturday on the best of bourbon. While they focuses on Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old, they also pointed out some other good hootch.
Eagle Rare 17 Willett Pot Still Rserve Parker Heritage 27 Black maple Hill Small Batch Blanton Single Barrel Elmer Lee George T. Stag
Is yours in the list?

Nope.
I'm a Buffalo Trace guy. Have not heard of the ones they rated highly.
I think I need to try some of them as a matter of obligation.
Thanks for the info.

Nope, I have had the Eagle Rare before.
As with many things 'rags' brag on, most I can't procure locally.

I haven't had any of those brands listed. Maybe I'm just cheap, but Trader Joe's store label has become my favorite. http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1005

I like Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace, Henry Mckenna. Not necessarily in that order.

Not much to tell, it's just really good. It hits all the classic bourbon flavor notes, well balanced.
