So far, I've only come across one brand of bourbon (Wild Turkey) that I don't love. I noticed a high end Rebel Yell on the shelf but will save that for another day.
I picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace on the way home frome work tonight. It is definitely an improvement over my usual budget restricted $15 a bottle stuff, which I limit myself to one per week. Spot on with the vanilla and spice notes. Being a rye kind of guy, I like a little more pepper taste, but it is polite and smooth.
I like the Maker's Mark a lot also, but it is too pricey, and is so good that it is gone in three nights and then I have to do without for four days before I can buy another...
