What's Your Favorite Bourbon?

Pappy van Winkle........ in fact if anyone has some there willing to sell pm me

thanks

 

It’d be unprofessional to sell it at secondary pricing, I couldn’t part with mine but it’s definitely hype juice

 

Blade & Bow -- it's good stuff (not unlike Pappy) and a great buy at $65.

 

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but this is insane. I remember buying the red label Black Maple Hill for $35 a bottle and it was my go-to. Then it was revealed that it was a Julian Van Winkle side project and it pretty much disappeared. Sotheby's just auctioned some:

Was the Buffalo Trace experimental peated bourbon ever released?

 

All time favorite of what I've tried is William Larue Weller. I believe it was the 2020 batch. Honorable mention to the George T Stagg from the 2020 batch as well.

My typical daily / weekly pour is Four Roses Small Batch Select.

Other favorites include Smoke Wagon Uncut Unfiltered, Stagg Jr, EH Taylor Small Batch, Weller CYPB, and Eagle Rare.

While it isn't a bourbon, I'm also a big fan of the Angels Envy Finished Rye.

 

That’s bonkers. These prices are mind-blowing. I also remember the good old days.
For what it’s worth, the “new” BMH is a far cry from the original.

 

It's no longer done by Van Winkle...

It was a fine product for $35.
