Elijah Craig 12 YO. Better bourbon cannot be had for the price IMO. It is a personal favorite.....

Trash. Best used for igniting wet garbage. It's hot, sharp and finishes too quickly.

I like my Old Fitzerald 1894. Been drinking that since I was a lad in college. I have a bottle that was distilled in 1938. Still a tasty Bourbon.
Weller, Bulleit, Booker, Knob Creek, Rowans Creek, all good.

giddy'up ![[Linked Image]](http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg342/steveberrett/20120611_112631.jpg) You have been there.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I like Basil Hayden. I also enjoy Woodford Reserve and Makers Mark.

If you can find Weller Special Reserve or Weller 12YO it's a steal at reasonable prices. Some say the Weller 12 is the same as Old Van Winkle Lot B 12. But I would defer to the poster who said he was in the business for the definitive. The samples I and others tested were definitely not the same. This includes a really blind test, the taster didn't know what he was testing. He was given two poured samples in identical nosing glasses and asked for an assessment. Same? Different? If different, how?

Angel's Envy from Lincoln Henderson is catching my taste buds lately. Finished in port wine barrels. Found it at a barbeque joint in Chesterland OH and got a bottle for Christmas. For me, it's a nice change of pace from the Buffalo Trace and Woodford I keep around.
By the way, if you're in the Chesterland area, look up Oak & Embers for some good BBQ and a good, lengthy bourbon list.

David. that is damn spendy, but I'm sure it's still good. Here is the bottle I have. I bought it about 30 years ago for $5.00 in an antique store. Saved it for my Daughter's wedding. Took the bottle up to NY State for that event, and opened it in celebration. Still have about half a bottle. Delicious. ![[Linked Image]](http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt349/Knocky/Knocky%202011%20second%20half/OldFitz.jpg)

Sam, it is truly spendy and someone will eventually buy it. I saw a small Jack Daniels collection sale for 10k last week. Truly wild what's going on in the whiskey/bourbon collectors world.
I would love to have a a drink with you from that beautiful bottle. Treasure that because there will be no more. Just like there will be no more little girl in your loving daughter. Well you know what I mean.
At any rate, that is a great little bottle of history that you have.
Enjoy!
David

Y'all must have watched Boubontucky and got thirsty  The head of Beam said he doesn't think the best bourbon has been made yet, says they learn and refine within the limits of keeping it bourbon. Mike

Mike Of course he says that, he's in the business of making and selling the stuff. It might be the case though when the demand slows down and they have lots of barrels of old stuff in their rickhouses. I'm sure they can refine the mashbills and make a good wort, when they go back to pot distilling and can put it into some real good casks for a long time under great conditions, they can once again make a great bourbon. It's less likely when they lower the proof or push younger and younger whiskey out the door to meet demand. It's still pretty good, but can be oh so much better.
