I live really close to the bourbon trail, and have tried several different types, from the many distilleries. I've had everything from $1500 pappy, to cheap ass Evan Williams straight from the source.
My number one go to has always been blanton's original single barrel. While there are many great tasting bourbons, I always come back to this one.
My whiskey cabinet consists of this at the moment
Blanton's
Four roses single barrel
Jack Daniel's single barrel (found it on sale at 45% off, bought 2 bottles)
Buffalo trace
Makers mark
Wild turkey rare breed
Ezra Brooks
Four roses straight bourbon
(these last two are my mixers, EB tastes exactly like JD at half the price, and mixes well)
Already planning on hitting the trail this spring, mainly to buy bottles of stuff I don't normally find, I'll be at the Kentucky derby this year so I might hit up the Jim Beam distillery, it's one of the few I haven't toured. There's a few specialty liquor stores that carry hard to find stuff from the area, I plan on signing up for the drawings and raffles again this year.

Ezra Brooks is probably the cheapest I buy, and it's a mixer only that tastes quite a bit like JD.
My next up is either four roses or Buffalo trace, I always have a bottle on hand.
What I drink 3-4 times a week, usually with a cigar and after dinner, is Blanton's. It's not affordable however.
