So I know there's a scotch thread, but I'm curious about a good bourbon. I'm writing CFA on Saturday and feel like rewarding myself with a good sipping bourbon, something a few notches up from the Jack I usually drink lol.
I keep coming across either Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek, and one website has a completely opposite opinion from the next. Anybody have any input on those two? Or alternatives? I'm completely new to top shelf whisky's but its something I've been wanting to get started on for a while, and bourbon will be my first tranche. I'm thinking up to ~$120 for the bottle.
Any thoughts on what liquor stores have staff with good input on this? I'm thinking I'll just stop by the Coop store tonight since that seems to be the most "mature" liquor store in beltline area..
