Crown Black (i think).
I'm not a whiskey guy really, but I have dabbled lately. My bachelor party last year left me with a bunch of good booze.
The "Crown Black" was damn good, but I'm no whiskey expert.

Putting together a 5 bottle dream team:
Strannahan's - because you're from CO
Middleton Irish Whiskey (I didn't see a price range, so why not)
Johnnie Walker Blue - yes, its a blend, but nothing under 35 years old
Jack Daniels Single Barrel - if you feel you need an american classic
McCallan - 16 yr or higher
Cigars - for a reasonable price
Nubs - Great smokes, last forever (about an hour) look great in photos
CAOs - anything in the Mx2 variety is smooth as anything I've ever smoked
I don't always indulge my vices, but when I do, I spend all of my money on them.
If you are serious about this situation I would highly recommend purchasing Jim Murray's: Whiskey Bible
Very good read and this guy is pretty much spot on on describing each individual whiskeys unique notes.
My personal opinions on the nectar of the God's are as follows:
Johnny Walker- Over priced, especially Blue label.
Jack Daniels-Oily in taste and buying Gent's Jack is like choosing a V6 Camaro over a V8 (bland). Green label tastes the best.
Best surprise whiskey-Hibiki 12-
Best Scotch- MaCallan 12 Sherry Oak or 15 Fine Oak. Both are dangerously drinkable and I have yet to meet a Scotch drinker let alone whiskey drinker that does not enjoy a good sip of this stuff.
Best Bourbon-4 Roses or Maker's 46
Either drop by Barnes & Nobles or get with one of your buddies who knows whiskeys. No one like a faker, let alone a fake whiskey lover. In the end, you pick what YOU think tastes good. Piss on everyone else who thinks otherwise because YOU are the one paying the tab and all they have to do is smile, nod, and enjoy your company. Be mindful that there will always be those who nitpick on shit like "oh I wish they had <insert random $$$ brand here> scoff.
Enjoy your whiskey tasting adventure
Cheers

And "mediocre" is being VERY generous. I made the mistake of buying a bottle of Stranahan's. After an attempt at the first glass it became a really high-priced mixer. After trying that, I gave it away. It is, by far, the harshest whiskey/bourbon I've ever tried.Quote:

4. Booker's
5. ? - haven't bothered to get this far down the list. I've tried lots of others but nothing's made a "Top 5" list yet.
Just my personal choices...but I really don't think you'll be disappointed with Buffalo Trace.
