IMO:
Best whiskey: Johnnie Walker, Blue label. Pricey as hell, though, so I normally settle for Black label if I'm going that route.
Next best: Four Roses, if you can find it.
Normal "sippin": Maker's, Beam, or Heaven Hill black label.
Ahh... The joys of living in the Bourbon Belt...
Thinking of which, any of y'all come this way in September of each year, the Kentucky Bourbon Festival is a helluva' fun way to spend a weekend...
