Not having read the whole of this thread, would put a thumb up for Larceny as being a very solid choice for a very consistently good bourbon. I like to call it the Pappy Van Winkle that you can buy. Don't knock it, unless you have both at hand to try... and before you've had a wee dram of anything else that might affect your pallet.
If you Like good bourbon, this is one that's generally available and reasonably priced, for the quality.

Is Imperial gone? Was my neighbor's favorite.....likely because of the cheap price.

My evening choice is now Macallan 12 year old, double cask. Not peaty. Very smooth. About $69 here in Santa Fe.
The only constant in life is change.

Imperial is a blended American whiskey, even though it may taste good, it is beneath the "xxx" of the posters on this site. I couldn't think of a word to replace my "xxx". Maybe "prestige" may make it. As I explained to a lady who asked me about the suitability of a spirit she was considering purchasing, "Madam, I drink for a completely different reason than you do." We then restarted our discussion on a different plane.

Bill, I realized some 25 years ago that folks drink for very different reasons. I was leasing the deer hunting on part of my land to a group from a city about an hour away. They fixed up an old tenant house on my land to use as a weekend getaway, base for deer hunting, and cooking. One occasional guest who didn't even hunt was asked one evening why he didn't mix his whiskey with something else, like a soft drink. He replied that if he were to do that it would defeat his purpose for drinking in the first place. I'm thankful that was never my intent, when I pour three fingers of bourbon over ice in the evening.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Reminds me of my old friend Al Dueis. He and his buddies hunted on a farm in MN for years. Upon arrival, the owner always insisted they do a group tour around his wetlands. He would get in the back seat, pop the cork off a quart of whiskey and toss it out the window. Needless to say, the hunters slept well that first night.
