If there are two reasons I would ever be jelous of a Texan, it's for the incredible whisky and steaks y'all must be able to get down there.

Far as the better bourbons go, Bookers Best (made by Jim Beam) remains the top shelf of all top shelf bourbons. Straight single keg uncut liquid gold, anout 120 proof. It's the bottle you grab when the ICBMs start to fly.

Knob Creek is another very good bourbon. Strong, tasty, with nary a hint of femininity. I treid the Evan Willams Single Barrel, but it was too light and too sweet, but still pretty good. My buddy, whose whisky taste buds I respect, tried Basil Haydens. He said it was good, but too light. We both prefer a bourbon that sits up and barks.

All the Wild Turkey brands are excellent. My buddy likes the WT Russels Reserve best, even better than the Rare Breed. I like the 12 year-old WT best, but I haven't been able to find a bottle of that for over ten years. Bummer.

Good link.

All these bourbons go well with chocolate cookies.
