We all have different tastes. But I have sampled, in direct comparison taste tests, 15 of the world's highest rated bourbons. Pappy Van Winkle 23 yr is, overall, my favorite. I can't seem to find a bottle to buy at a regular price, but it is readily available in bars. This and Elijah Craig 23 yr. are my top 2. It sort of makes me wonder about this site and it's tasters when they give an 89 to a bourbon that I and many other professionals give from 94 up. So I look at all the other ratings with great sucspicion; because your tastes are so vastly different from mine. This is phenomenally good bourbon.
