re: I need a premium whiskey recommendation

All Bourbon is whiskey, not all whiskey is Bourbon!

Good Luck Finding Some Pappy. I've been trying to get my hands on the good stuff for years, but the waiting list is like 10 years or something.

My Best Man and I decided to do a blind testing of our own a few weeks before my wedding. It was my wedding present from him.

So now I stock Weller 12, Eagle Rare, Charter, Buffalo Trace, Elmer Lee, Sazerac, 1792, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's, Maker's 46, Woodford Reserve, Jack, & Gentlemen Jack.... & the Crowns.

When we did the blind taste test... it was easy to point out the Tennessee whiskey and rye. But, it was harder to pin point the other ones.
We both scored Woodford at the top followed by a combination of Knob, Basil, Eagle, and Maker's, with Charter scoring surpisingly high.

It really just comes down to personal preference.
