Not a scotch drinker, but Makers Mark is my favorite bourbon. I like it straight, just to sip on.

You all got me motivated so I went out and got a bottle of Glenlivet Nadurra (16 yr; cask strength, aged in bourbon barrel and non chill filtered).
Excited as hell to open it, but gonna wait until I wipe out my existing stock.

The Macallan. I'm almost done with a bottle of the 18 year that I've been nursing for a year, and I've just cracked open a bottle of the Estate Reserve.
Yummy. The company I used to work for would have an open bar for their Christmas party and I'd always drink plent of the 12 year since that is what was available. |

Templeton Rye is now available in the KC area. Do yourself a favor and get a bottle.

Gotta be in the right mood for a true rye whiskey.
Y'know what? I think I am. Off to the mancave to mix myself an old-fashioned. I think I still have some bitters left.

Some good stuff mentioned. I have a hard time finding Van Winkle stuff these days - I never see my old fave 'Lot B' bourbon or their 13 year old rye anymore - I've still got a couple bottles of the rye here, when it's gone, it's gone. Van Winkle joined up with the Sazerac folks, and their distribution is much wider - which means the treats tend to disperse quickly. Eh, I had fun while it lasted.
Luckily my 'day to day' bourbon supply is fine, and I happen to like Wild Turkey 'Rare Breed' for a bit of an upgrade. It's not that expensive @ Costco. Some of the spendier upscale Wild Turkey offerings are good, but at their price wasted on me I'm afraid. So Rare Breed it is. I also celebrate with Bushmill's 'Black' label Irish or Powers 12 year and I like most of your peaty Islay stuff when it comes to Scotch. I'm pretty easy to please.

I'm no expert, but the best that I've ever had is "Macallan 18". Simply amazing.

Not much to add to the discussion here, I drink Makers and Woodford Reserve as my everyday bourbon and Elmer T, Bookers, Makers 46 and Pappy on Special Occasions. If any of you all are history buffs a buddy of mine named Kristian Day just shot a documentary on the origins of Templeton Rye Whiskey. It sold out on Amazon, but you can buy it here:

Scotch: Aberlour a'bunadh
Bourbon: Four Roses Small Batch I have tried just about everything I can find and these are my favorites. The Aberlour is a very unique scotch as each batch is different. They are always cask strength, but always different. my favorite was batch 40 but sadly, can't find that one anymore. My cabinet also regularly consists of: Macallan 18 Glenlivet 12, 15 French Oak, & 18 Aberlour 12 Balvenie 12 & 15 Johnnie Gold Bulliet Bourbon & Rye Crown Gentleman's Jack Jack Single Barrel
