As far as bourbon goes, I'm still sticking with Gentleman Jack as my all time favorite. Over rinsed ice, of course.
Knob Creek is 100 proof, but I find the flavor isn't overpowered by the alcohol.

On an unrelated note, I tried Clan Campbell last night for the first time. It's Scottish, but I thought it was pretty gross. It had a really sweet taste, far sweeter than I like my whiskey.
