Tennessee whiskey is charcoal filtered bourbon correct?
Knob creek - nah, don't like it
Buffalo trace - nah, don't like it
Woodford Reserve, if it's the only thing in the cabinet and i don't want to drive and pick up a bottle of Crown Royal..
I very much appreciate my Kentucky and Tennessee brethren, but dem canucks flat know how to make good whiskey.. Eh??
If i'm out of Crown or the bar is, i'll drop back to Jameson's..
Used to be a die hard Jack drinker, but really lost my taste for it...

Bourbon is basically corn liquor aged in NEW charred oak barrels and has to be produced in the US to specific ranges of percent alcohol. Old meaning was corn liquor of at least 40% alcohol, aged in new charred oak barrels, in Bourbon county, Kentucky.

I live within a rifle shot of where the three brands of the subject are made, and I am a scotch drinker. Bourbon is too sweet for my taste although I give a lot of it away.
It is nice to wake up in the morning and smell Buffalo Trace cooking up a new batch that won't see the light of day for about eight years... But I would rather smell it than taste it.
A secret Bourbon hard to find outside of Kentucky is Four Roses Small Batch. I have been known to taste a dram or two of that.

Never tried Woodford, but sure like Buffalo Trace.

woodford reserve is a really good bourbon. My everday is the Elijah Craig bourbon. Not real easy to find, but great price and my favorite. About $18 for 750 ml

I agree with and like a lot of suggestions here. My go to is Bulleitt. Awesome whisky, great belnd of temper and flavor. Just mellow enough to still hint of bold. It is closest to Woodford out of your three and somewhat similar to Makers Mark.

Canuck whiskey mostly sucks. Pendleton and Wiser's Very Old top the list, IMO. The rest of the list is very unimpressive. Drank a couple shots of JB Black last night. Just okay. Not near my first time trying it. Tried to buy some Woodford on my way home from work, but they were out. Settled on some Gentleman Jack........
