I like the ones with a bit more spice. If you can get your hands on Dad’s Hat, I enjoy that. Old Overholt is the classic. If you want something a little smoother but not too sweet, Whistle Pig.

There used to be a bar in Ashburn called the Smokehouse.
The pilots and instructors where I worked would go there once a month.
They had a deal that they called the Bourbon Trail. It was a list of 80 different Bourbons. When you bought one, you checked it off the list. They kept all the scorecards behind the bar, I had one there, but I only had a couple dozen checked off.
If you bought and drank all 80, they would make a License Plate that said whatever the drinker wanted. One of our pilots was the first to hang a plate on the wall, I forget what it said, maybe his children's names.

I saw the above at a recent Costco on a trip. If they have overseas, I am thinking that they probably have it in the US. Not sure if this is what you are looking for.
Anyway, I actually took this picture because I was thinking of you guys. @George-K @Mik @LuFins-Dad @Tom-K @Doctor-Phibes @Jolly @copper et al.

For knock you on your butt, but still has taste, Wild Turkey Rare Breed. 116 proof. I dunno, $50-$60?
Belle Meade is sweet, if you like that. Regular Knob Creek and Maker's Mark are decent everyday bourbons.
But take anything I say with a grain of salt. There are guys here a lot more knowledgeable than I am. I tend to drink bourbon when I have a drink, but I don't drink very often. A bottle will last me for half a year or more.
