Favorite bourbon?

Knob Creek straight up. But, Blanton's is a high dollar substitute.
How about the worst "bourbon" ever? Have you ever had/heard of Waterfil (possibly Waterfil-Fraizer)?

I really prefer Maker's Mark. As far as a Tennessee sippin' whiskey, I have a really deep appreciation for Gentleman Jack. The standard ole' No. 7 is good, but I can tell a difference in smoothness between the two. I prefer all of mine served neat; watered down whiskey or bourbon is like cream and sugar in coffee for me. It just ruins the taste.

Take it from an ex-drunk, it's not all good , it's all rotgut. BUT, if you're gonna drink it, the best and smoothest is KESSLER.

Kessler, awesome, smooth as silk. An old timer at the office drinks that stuff.

Oh this brings back some rather fuzzy memories. There was a period in my life when me and Old Jack Daniels were the best of friends. Always my first choice.

Jack Daniel's is not bourbon. It is made in TN and not KY, and as such is Tennessee whiskey and not bourbon.
But to the question at hand, I prefer Maker's Mark and Knob Creek.

Blanton's.
Did you know that each little stopper has a letter on it and when you collect them all, they spell out Blanton's.
I think I've got BLANTONS, BLANTONS and LTOSS.
It's expensive up here so I had to switch to Eagle Rare. Wild Turkey 101 is pretty good too.
Neat, of course - no ice, no water and never any soda.

Sorry on my mistake about JD being bourbon...
I thought bourbon and whiskey were the same thing.

I will have to vote for George Dickel or Eagle Rare (haven't seen that one for a while).

Eagle Rare is pretty good for the money.
Eagle Rare Single Barrel
Both Eagle Rare and Blanton's are from the Buffalo Trace Distillery.

I was going to correct the assumpton that Jack Daniel was bourbon, but i note several others already have.
A great book that explains the differences, gives a history of distilling, and is just a great coffee table book is called: Whisky, The Water of Life, written by Helen Arthur.
For the history of Jack Daniel, my favorite book is Blood & Whiskey, The Life and Times of Jack Daniel. It was written by Peter Krass.
No, I didn't mispell whiskey or whisky, they are different drinks, from different parts of the world. Read the books!
My favorite bourbon is Makers Mark. My favorite whiskey is Jack Daniel's Black. My favorite single malt scotch whiskey is Glenlivet, favorite blended scotch is J&B.
All served over just a touch of crushed ice, not cubes.
Whisky is as fascinating a topic as guns!

That's what I prefer...sour mash whiskey. Don't care for blended bourbons, too sweet.

I like wild turkey. I liked it a little to much when I was a young man. I'm just a sipper now. I have a 53 year old bottle of wild turkey special reserve and a bottle of beams best that I think was sold in 1968. I can,t remember when it was bottled. I havn't opened them. I would like to, but that would be like fireing an unfired antique gun.
