Bourbon tastings

Four Roses Single Barrel would be a good one to throw in there. Basil Haydens is another one i pull out when introducing people to good bourbon

1792 isnt bad, not something I keep around much though. Elijah Craig 12 is a good one for the money.

Cook some wings...wings go good with everything.

I think the selection of bourbon should be catered to those who are tasting. Are your friends regular bourbon drinkers who have tried several different ones and have discriminating tastes or is this just a group of guys who drink whiskey occasionally and just looking to try a variety of things?

Of your list, Elmer T Lee, Eagle Rare 10 and 1792 are all good intro level whiskeys (under $30). I'm not a big fan of the WT Rare Breed, but it's probably in the next level. Bookers is a good whiskey, but remember that it will be a potent one at high proof. Four Roses Single Barrel has been mentioned and that's another good one in the next price point ($35-40). You can also try some bottles near $50 if they have more discriminating tastes. Blanton's and Rock Hill Farms are some good ones at that point (and made from same mash bill as Elmer T Lee so you could compare what a few more years in the barrel will do). Basically, there are a lot of ways you can go with it and just have to cater to your crowd. I'll put a couple links to some of our older threads that can also give you some info.
