The best bourbon is the one you are enjoying at the time. I enjoy a variety of bourbons. I stick with Kentucky distilled bourbon because it really is about the water. I also spoke to a distiller who told me he liked some bourbons from outside Kentucky, because they sold the bourbon to the companies. Not sure how that works, but not sure I want a bourbon made with New York water.

Neat please. Maybe a single drop of water. Definitely no ice. Single malt only - the more smokey and peaty, the bettererest.

Wolfburn is a newer reborn distillery with a product I really enjoy.

I suspect any list that does not mention Granny’s fine Ozarks whiskey.

I enjoyed Mellow Corn before I stopped drinking. Bonded, 50 proof, very affordable.
Only a few notes of distinct flavors but very nice for the price.

Are no longer made so there are only second tier bourbons left.

The distillery and fields where their feed stock was raised were overrun by urban sprawl.

Louis the XIV is considered the best Bourbon. I thought it was settled.

My go to for the last year has been Old Elk, very smooth with nice flavors at the $50-55 price point.
Was given a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle by a very wealthy man from Kentucky a few years ago as a thanks upon the conclusion of a project we did for him. Saddest bottle of bourbon I own - as I have yet to open it

Gentleman Jack was supreme when it was in octagonal bottles. Since putting it in flask-like ones the taste definitely got harsher.

Now days I hardly drink at all, just staying on the porch with the other little dogs.
