    One of my favorites is Maker's Mark. Easy to drink, smooth, nice vanilla overtones. Fill a glass full of ice, half full of MM. You're all set.

      Agree with Maker's.

    Eagle Rare. The 10 year old is sublime yet affordable. I don't see it very often, but my liquor store holds a bottle for me whenever it comes in.

      texastweeter I got hooked on Elmer T. Lee when the man himself was picking out the barrels. My liquour gets two bottles twice a year. He holds one for me. It's my favorite.

    I’m a huge fan of the Woodford DO, which you already have. My son loves the High West Campfire, but I’m not sure you can find it anymore. It was outsourced by HW but now they’re bringing more production in house so it’s not being distilled. Might find a rare bottle in a liquor store though. Angel’s Envy is another one you might try.

        To make a proper recommendation, we need to better know your bourbon tasting profile. Please send us all bottles you currently like, along with some examples of bottles you're interested in trying ---- and we will taste them all and let you know whether any are worthwhile.

        this is a very complicated process and may take an extended period of time to correctly review.

        Makers 46 Oak Casked is very good and good value. I also like Old Forrester generally, particularly the "Bottled in Bond" but they're all good.

            Didn’t know if that was a threat or recommendation until I looked it up.

          Based on your line-up you appear to prefer lower-proof bourbons. Might I suggest something bottled-in-bond? By US regulation, all bottled-in-bond products are exactly 100 proof. Some of my favorites include Evan Williams White Label, Old Granddad, and Mellow Corn. Rittenhouse Rye is also a good entry-level Bottled-in-bond rye.

            Knob Creek 9 year, Wild Turkey 101, Maker's 101 if you are wanting something in the 100 proof range. I also like Eagle Rare and Green River in the 90 proof range.

              Looks like you're gonna need to replace a couple of the ones you've got. IDK, bourbon's got so damn expensive that i get discouraged. I tend to drink a lot of the cheap stuff. I can't add much to what's already been posted. Oh, here's one, if you're going to splurge, try Calumet 15 year. None of them are worth the money...but I still buy them

                Not a huge bourbon guy, I'm more into scotch and rye, but I got a bottle of Bib & Tucker 6 year old recently and it was delightful
