Woodford Reserve. Although, I am currently intrigued by Burnheim Original wheat whiskey.
I own a liquor store and could take any of it home.
And have. You wouldn't happen to have a daughter, would you? Or, be in need of adopting (another) son?

Woodford Reserve, Makers Mark, in that order. I'll skip the Jack, though I can be forced into Gentleman Jack. If I REALLY get my choice, it would Be Blantons, Buffalo Trace, and Knob Creek, in that order. We Love the Vitamin B12 ( 12 yr.old Bourbon)  Ingwe

I'll pass on the Jack also.
I start getting nervous if I have less than a half dozen different kinds of bourbon on hand.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

I'll take the Kickin' Chicken over most stuff out there. Never been much of a fan of Jack or Jim. I have some Knob Creek, which is alright stuff, a little bit too smokey for me. The Jack single barrel ain't too bad. However, I just keep going back to Wild Turkey.

I've always been a fan of Jim Beam...we go way back to high school, he and I. We have a lot of history.
I'll have to try Woodford Reserve.

Jack Daniel's Whiskey is one of the finest things on Earth(imho).
Evan Williams is smoother - less 'bite'...

I see some people have been paying attention. From February of 08: I'm not much of a bourbon drinker,.. but I live right in the middle of bourbon making country. Folks around here who know, claim that Booker's is a special treat. It's only made in small batches and hits ya in the wallet pretty good,... but you bourbon drinkers might want to give it a try on some special occasion. I recently sent one of my buddies off with a couple of fifths to take with him to Afghanistan. He's a Captain in the Canadian Army and all they know is that blended stuff. He says it was a big hit with him and his boys over there. http://www.internetwines.com/mb311504.html Booker Noe, sixth-generation Beam and grandson of Jim Beam, joined the family
business after graduating from the University of Kentucky in 1950. Booker proved to
be a quick study, and in 1960, became the master distiller of Jim Beam Brands Co.
This world-class distiller became a true American legend in 1988 when he introduced his special bourbon, appropriately named Booker's. This landmark bourbon was the first to carry the Small Batch designation. As Booker says,Booker's Bourbon is the way bourbon used to be, the way it was meant to be.

3 pages, and only 2 mentions of Knob Creek?
Oh well, I likes what I likes.
Oh-so-smooth, with seductive vanilla notes... 'twas the one I kept coming back to, back when I drank.

When my son got back from his last Afghanistan deployment some patriotic guy he met at his mother's house ran home and got him a bottle of whisky (bourbon) as a thank you/welcome home gift. My boy was good enough to run right over to Dad's house with it. It was nothing I'd heard of before (and I'm pretty much in touch with the world of whisky) but man, was it good. Smoother than water to drink and a nice flavor. I didn't think to write down the name of it until it was late, and by then it was too late. I would know it if I heard it, but I haven't seen it on this thread yet.

Freddy likes it straight outta the bottle. Pints are nice and flat....(grin) Getting your horse ready to run in tomorrow's Kentucky Derby? Mister, I'll have you to know that we don't allow our horses to drink Tennessee whisky and then run in our Derby. For the love of criminy... Anyway, from an alcoholic's point of view, Woodford Reserve is my poison. It had such a nice hint of pepper that always made me smile. Unfortunately, three drinks later, I was starting to get hateful, you understand. I have tried Blanton's, it was ok. Knob Creek tasted like someone rinsed my charcoal grill with bourbon and then poured the leavin's back into a bottle. If I was slumming, I could drink Maker's but it hurt my stomach something awful. A tad sweet to boot. Forgive the romancing, but Woodford never hurt my head, or my stomach, I didn't have nightmares and slept fine. Jim Beam is for cleaning car parts. Dickel made me have nightmares so bad my wife had to tackle my big a$$ in the middle of the night to keep me from going out the front door. (I woke up in a vascular neck restraint). I could drink Jack Daniel's if I was hurting for a drink, but never went looking for it.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that takin' fresh corn liquor and puttin' it in a burnt oak barrel 'till it spoils is a dumbazz idea.
