From my local liquor store:
Jefferson's Presidential 18 yr
Blantons
Basil Hayden
Bulleit
Wild Turkey Kentukey Spirit
4 Roses
1724

The above order is how me and 4 friends ranked them. All on the rocks.
Thoughts? Disputes?

this is interesting to me....did you break it down to aroma, taste, etc?....or did you just straight up taste each and rank?....

Just tasted... not a sophisticated collection of palates necessarily.

Blantons


It may be overpriced, but this is my favorite bourbon.

I will say we had at least a solid shot of each, which may have swayed the results of the last couple samples

Never liked blantons before. But I think it's because I always drank with a splash of diet coke. On the rocks it was the most different, with sweetness and citrus flavors

I think that with a list like that you are either thoroughly drunk or didn't do it right.

From that list, I have only had Blanton's and Wild Turkey. Blanton's has been the best bourbon I have ever had though.

Blantons is definitely my favorite. I spoil myself with it. Been silping on the same bottle since january. I drink crown to get drunk. Blantons to enjoy the taste

I always drink it on the rocks. Yes-citrus, toffee, vanilla, caramel. So good. I know some say it is overpriced (and it may be), but I love it.

Not the most comforting if you are in fact a doctor. I would delete this in case by some chance you ever get in any legal trouble involving alcohol (DUI or malpractice suit). This can be used against you

Good list. Was the 4 Roses the regular, small batch or single barrel. The single barrel is really good and strong and would rank in the top 3 of those bourbons in my opinion. Jefferson Presidential Select is a wonderful bourbon. and would be at the top of many lists.

Home now but thanks for the worries. Friends house literally down the street... too many bottles to walk there earlier so I drove a quarter mile at the most.
