OK. Been a fly on the wall long enough. So far this thread has made this noob a fan of Blantons, stumbled across Four Roses 2013 LE which is still unopened, and picked up my first Elmer T. Lee today (Wow) and am now angry I didn't grab the other bottle on the shelf.
So I have hit 100% thanks to you all.
Now more advice needed.
The store has a bottle of Buffalo Trace experimental Hot Box Toasted barrel. At $51 do I give that a shot or go with Jefferson Select or Four Roses single barrel, since I have tried none of the above your opinions will again be valued.

I've tried a couple of the buffalo trace experimentals and that's exactly what they are experimental. So unless you want to search the Internet and find out what the consensus best experimental is, they are very expensive for a "let's see what happens when we do this shite" bourbon. The same thing with the series that tries all the different barrels. So if you are just getting started Ii would recommend putting your money other places. If you have disposable income though give it a shot. Like I said earlier I like to try everything.

This thread has been money for folks new to good bourbon, like me. One of the best threads ever on the innerwebs
