Anyway, what's the deal with Van Winkle Lot B? It's been unobtanium lately.
Not really. One just has to know where the questioned unobtanium exist and/or made available. However, serendipity plays into this as well. :-)

I was recently introduced to Old Forester. Had not tried it before, but was pleasantly surprised for its' price point.
Both the 86 and 100 proof model were very drinkable for me.

Good bourbon can be had in four years, excellent bourbon in eight, and superb takes a minimum of 10 to 12. After doing some research, I have decided on George Dickel, eight year old as my favorite. In my opinion it is better than the twelve year old. Can't say that I have tried all of them but I have tried a lot. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Buffalo Trace neat has been a favorite of mine for some time. I first heard about it here at the Fire, tried it, and got hooked.
I very much enjoy the taste, and it nicely takes the sharp edges off of the vicissitudes of life.
But I'll also try some of the other bourbons mentioned here.

I'm definitely not an authority on bourbon.I do like Buffalo Trace and Makers but drink them as described here maybe that's why. Buffalo Trace and Makers Mark are a little harsh if you drink them neat.. Where they shine is with the folks who like to splash a little water on their bourbon, and despite what you read, there are plenty who don't drink straight up whisky. I drink it in a highball or a Dixie cup filled with ice and a healthy splash of tap water. I don't do neat...unless its IPA or Brown Lager.

Bulleit's even better. And Knob Creek 'Single Barrel Reserve' is the nectar of the Gods...! I actually find that one a bit hot going down. Yep At what-120 proof?? Well yeah, it's going to be a bit warm.  I'll take the everyday run of mill KC small batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon all day long over most anything else out there.[in the cold months that is]

That version of Knob Creek is still hot when cut to below 100 proof.

I'll admit-I've never had it. Once I tried the 100 proof KC I was hooked. I drink it neat only and haven't found a smoother[to me] 100 anywhere. Tried Woodford Reserve last winter, before the day was over I had gone back and bought KC.

The regular Knob Creek is fine with me. I just can't explain my reaction to the single barrel reserve.
