Two superb choices.
The standard bottlings of both Knob Creek and Elijah Craig lost their age statements a few years ago; too much demand and not enough old barrels. But these got to keep them, the KCSB at 9 years and ECBP at 12 years.
Between sips of the pedestrian JD Black and Elijah Williams, is smoooth really the endgame? I enjoy the bite. Otherwise, what is the point? Looked for George Dickel last time out, but no can find. No ice, no water required.
I guess I’m just a peasant. I am not a big alcohol drinker but every now and then I like a JB and ginger ale. When Karen was really sick post transplant and we didn’t know if she would live I would call in to a small bar on the walk back “home” each evening for one, just to relax. And as a remedy for a head cold it can’t be beat LOL.
I bought three 1 litre and a 500ml bottle duty free on a trip to Australia over 15 years ago and I am just about finished it. I think a bottle or two may be collected when I pass through the duty free stores in a few weeks time.
And I may just pick up a bottle of Rebel Yell when in Phoenix after I visit Dillon Precision.

Many whisky aficionados hate the term "smooth". As Ralfy once said, you could probably describe a pile of poop as smooth if you chose to interact with it
PS: If you don't know Ralfy, you're not a whiskey nerd. He's a Scot who mostly reviews Scotch, but has a refreshingly open mind about Bourbon.

My most recent favorite is Bulleit Bourbon. I like to buy the 1L bottle. It lasts longer. Before that, I was sippin' Buffalo Trace.

I am late to this party (no pun intended) but I thought I would contribute my choices. In bourbon and sour mash whiskies I was a Jack Danials and Jim Beam drinker for decades. I found Bullet Burbon and liked it also. Then, out of the clear blue, I drank some Makers Mark. I found it to be smoother than anything else I had tried and it has become my sipping burbon. I don't mix it with anything and I take my time with it. Good stuff. For Scotch, I like Balvenie, 21 year old. A real sipping Scotch for very special occasions. I "sip" rarely but when I do I want it to be a memorable experience.
