Bourbon suggestions

[Deano]

Yo.

I'm a big fan of Bourbon, but if I'm honest; I've probably only had several different variations. i.e. Jim Bean, Southern Comfort, Jack Daniels, Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniels Single Barrel, Maker's Mark, Woodford Reserve, Noah's Mill.

Can anyone suggest anything on top of that list?

Ta muchly.

+1 to Pappy Van Winkle, just check you go for the right version as some bottles retail for ?200.00+

This is the bottle I have atm, very smooth:

Buffalo Trace and Noah's Mill (when you can find it) for me.... quite like Virginia Gentleman too and I'm not averse to a bottle of Maker's Mark.

To be honest, when you have either Gentleman Jack or Maker's Mark, isn't that all you need?

I like Buffalo Trace too, and also Wild Turkey.

The Elijah Craig 12yo is a top notch bourbon in my opinion and at a very good price as well....Bought it after watching Ralfy's review on youtube and I havent regreted it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUVCFNwPbiU

Also have a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle's 15yo and a George T Stagg 2010....but I'm keeping these for a special occasion, haven't tried any of them.

Alright, alright. Throw in a Partagas P2 or a R&J Wide Churchill too.

Hehe, I agree, the quality varies similarly to 'real' whisky...
