Any input on the 3 I got?

Best ways to serve and things to try to notice/pick out?

great start! If your trying new bottles i might not have bought two bottles of knob creek. That also means you got two bourbons from beam stock. Bottles in the same price range from different distillerys would be Elijah Craig 12 yr, Eagle rare 10 yr

A Scotch Guy

I don't get the Bourbon craze

Tried something new. Usually like Speysides but

Auchentoshan 12 is a great new find

Must try the Three Wood!!
