I was a Maker's Mark guy until someone here at the Fire raved about Buffalo Trace. I'm now a real fan of BT, but will try the other bourbons mentioned here.
The Fire is a pretty good source of info on bourbons. It's nice to know that I have some other excellent bourbons in my future.
Thanks guys.

They all come from Kentucky and as such all worth drinking.
Keith, I'd still like to get in on that Wyoming deal. I don't think you can convince any of the share holders to give up theirs but if someone decides they want out I will let you know. Otherwise you can contact David DeFazio and set up a barrel purchase.

I haven't tried Woodford or Buffalo Trace yet, but I'm not a big fan of the real smoky aftertaste that Knob Creek seems to leave. Maybe it's just me who feels that way about it, I don't know. Otherwise, I like it. Have heard good things about Buffalo Trace though, I need to try it. On that same note, I really need to try some Rare Breed, as I'm a bit of a Wild Turkey slut.

 I will stick with Beefeater straight from the freezer. In fact there is one right now just four inches from my left hand.

Of those mentioned, Woodford. But like the other guy, I usually have Gentleman Jack on hand.

Love me some Buffalo Trace. Maker's is still my favorite sipping whiskey though.

I have drank every Bourbon mentioned here, and still like Gentleman Jack or JD Single Barrel as good as any.
I used to like Maker's quite a bit. Then I decided Buffalo Trace was better. Now I'm back to Gentleman Jack........ uhhhhh, Gentleman Jack and Jack Daniels are NOT Bourbon. Just saying............

Well, Tennessee whiskey can't be bourbon, but I'll let it slide for sake of this discussion.

You are all going to hell for drinking that stuff. Hmmm.....I'm willing to risk it. I have tried all three of the brands mentioned. I like Knob Creek the best. It is a good, solid, bourbon that finishes slightly sweet and smoky. Woodford comes in second. Woodford has a unique finish that I can only describe as slightly salty. I know a lot of guys love Buffalo Trace, but it is a little thin and lacks much character in my opinion. Among the readily available commercial brands, Booker�s, Blanton�s and Eagle Rare are some of the best, but any bourbon is better than no bourbon and more is better than less.  Chet

Tennessee whiskey can't be bourbon A particular Tennessee whiskey may not be Bourbon, but Bourbon can come from Tennessee.

several years ago i "acquired", for a lack of a better word, a bottle of Bullet Bourbon, and loved it, to the last drop, and I have never seen it again.

Old Weller 107 is my drink of choice. All the guys in camp have switched over too! TM
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

Technically, that is true. You are correct. But, I will say some Tennessee whiskeys taste more like bourbon than some "bourbons", IMO. I forgot about Bulleit. Drank some, thought it was decent. Kinda had some vanilla type overtones to it. I think BT is better. I have not had Woodford in a very long time now. All I remember is that I liked it. Time for a bottle. Maybe this weekend........
