What's your favorite bourbon/whiskey and why?

[Big Kahunaz]

I have to say 1 vodka is not the same as another just as 1 tequilla is not the same as another tequilla and 1 bourbon is not the same as another bourbon. Now if you r drowning the bourbons w/ soda....then of course....that defeats the purpose of the make & its distinct flavors....but if you let the flavors savor on your tongue "alone" for a bit....and try another ....you can tdifferentiate big time. As for tequilla...I love tequilla....but not the cheap tequillas......(they taste like rubbing alcohol....which kills the true agave flavor)....an old man taught me how to drink tequilla while on a trip in Mexico and it holds true for all liquors...(except the chilling part) chill the tequilla....then serve it alone in a shot glass let the tequilla sit on your tongue for a second or two to experience the flavor ....then let it slowly run down your throat...No burn and super smooth. One thing i notice in alcohol ...is you get what you pay for (in regards to flavor and hangover) some of my favorite tequillas are cabo wabo reposado, patron reposado, and don eduardo anejo...as far as vodka and for the buck is tito's from austin...distilled six times which is truely the most important factor in vodka. O...and I love me some makers too As far as tequilla liqueor...try Agavero! Trust me...its awesome Used to only be able to get it in Mexico. I believe you can find it here now but its rare.
