I'm drinking Knob Creek Single Barrel right now, but have about 8 or 10 small batch bourbons I haven't cracked yet on the shelf.
Makers Mark, Elijah Craig, and Old Grandad have always been good mid-level standby's. I started drinking bourbon in college, and decided then that there was no need to ever drink any other hard liquor. It's the all-American drink, and it is part of one of the 7 basic food groups since it is predominately made from corn. Back in college days, being on a tight budget, I learned that Echo Springs was the best inexpensive Bourbon... produced by Heaven Hill. Back then it was 7 year old bourbon, later reduced to a 4 year old, and a bit rougher.

After the birds and gun are cleaned, the dog cared for, and the hot shower there's nothing as satisfying as one's preferred drink relaxing in the gun room reliving the day's hunt. Karl

Evan Williams is the best inexpensive bourbon I've ever found.

I love eggnog. I have been known to buy a quart carton and drink the whole thing for breakfast after a duck hunt.
SRH And break wind for the next day and a half. Wife hates it when I do that. SRH

Col. E H Taylor....100 proof barreled in bond. The cheaper version runs about $40 to me it's as smooth as the $80 bottle.
Comparable in taste to Pappy 10 year old.
This year I had my pick of one bottle of the Buffalo Trace antique collection and I chose George T Stagg.
Im not crazy about regular Buffalo Trace but Pappy Van Winkle is not over rated. I'm not crazy about the 12 year old but the 10, 15 and 20 year old Pappy is very smooth never tasted the 23 year old.

I like EW too, Stan. I drank a LOT of Old Charter 7 yo until it suddenly disappeared from the shelves a few years ago. Has since become fairly plentiful, but I've moved on...

Y’all are gonna flame me.....but I want you to know that I currently have on the bar shelf some absolutely top shelf stuff...mostly single malt scotches...Glenmorangie, The Balvenie, Edradour, etc. I really enjoy good booze. I also have some nice bourbons and some very smooth Ryes. When I grab a bourbon just to enjoy, or to make a classic cocktail....now wait for it....I like Ezra Brooks. :-). Go ahead, laugh all you want. I really like it I pretty much like any bourbon that comes out of Heaven Hill....I think most legit bourbons are of good quality.
I’m also a sucker for decent Irish whiskey...Tullamore DEW & Bushmills.
