FlickrVote for Louisville’s Top Drop
August 10th, 2010 by admin | See what 52 other Friends of Lou had to say about this.
Here in the gateway to Bourbon Country, it’s possible to have more than one favorite bourbon of course. But just for fun, we want to know what your “go-to” bourbon is. We’ve tried to pick a brand from every Kentucky distiller, but you can also write in your choice if you don’t see yours listed.
Think long. Think hard. If you must, stop by any of the nine local bars/restaurants on the Urban Bourbon Trail to remind your tastes buds. And to make getting there even easier, download the iPhone application by clicking here. Once you’re ready, click below to vote. (Since all of these are our favorite, we decided to list the bourbons in a random order.)
Loading ...Don’t see you favorite bourbon? Go ahead and add it to the list below.
Gotta be Bulleit y’all.
Old Rip Van Winkle, by far the best!
Four Roses – single barrel. sorry Maker’s!
Also, where’s Weller, Forester, Fitzgerald and Granddad? I personally prefer these to any of the above. If you’re really a bourbon fan, look to “Pappy” and “Lot B”!
Canadian Mist.
Bookers kills them all.
Four Roses gets my vote every time. Best Ky. has to offer!!!
The Rose Rocks! More mellow moments more flavor(s)
Four Roses is the “Best of the Best”
Any Four Roses product, especially single barrel.
Really? No Basil Hayden? baker’s? Booker’s? Black Maple Hill?
Hey Jefferys, Canadian Mist is not a bourbon
Blanton’s needs to be added. Smoothest bourbon out there!
What about Rock Hill Farms?
I agree with Mark, Abbie, et al – Four Roses is divine!
Woodford Reserve has stolen my heart and my taste buds! Sooooo smooooth………….
I’m with Theresa–Woodford Reserve is hands down the smoothest, best tasting burbon!!! I usually drink wine or “sissy” drinks, but Woodford Reserve has made a believer out of me!
You never listed all the tasty Bourbon candies AND the brands as
sponsored same.
Try Basil Hayden’s, it’s my fave!
Elijah Craig 18. None better.
FOUR ROSES is the smoothes and the best. I liked burbon, but I love FOUR ROSES. My brother hipped me to FOUR ROSES, THANKS MICHAEL.
Beam & Coke!!!
Tried 4 Roses Single Barrel over 2 years ago, been drinking it ever since. Finally came to San Antonio about 6months ago so now I don’t need it shipped! Can’t wait 4 my next ‘Ville visit!!!!!
Just finished the Bourbon Trail, tasted great bourbons and a great time was had by all. Love my old Kentucky home bourbons but have to say my favorite one of all is Jameson Irish Whiskey. We love our Irish coffee. Nothing like hot whiskey in the morning!
I’m shocked that Four Roses has the most votes… it might be the LAST bourbon I’d pick here in Kentucky. However, it was the ONLY bourbon I could always find internationally! I suppose there’s something to be said for that.
And although Pappy is a damn fine drink, my favorites are still Bulleit and Old Fo’.
Quiz: does anyone know how Old Forester got it’s name?
It’s a good one!
Hey Jessica, why are you surprised? Four Roses is a damn fine product! If you only knew about Bulleit!
You don’t know what you have missed until you try 1792
I believe the best is Woodford Reserve. Tops all of the others in taste and smoothness!
Woodford Reserve. Love it. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
10yr WL Weller 107,#1 for me, even at the high proof is the smoothest by far. oh &, neither canadian mist nor jamisons are bourbons
Woodford is the best Bourbon and should be voted Louisville Top Drop because it is fact!
Woodford is the best and deserves to win the Louisville Top Drop because it is true – smooth and rich tasting. It is drop to the last drop.
Agree with Jayne- Weller 107 10 year is superb- but my “go-to” is W. L. Weller 7 year 90. A wheated bourbon, so similar in style to Maker’s, but more complex… and half the price! Worth seeking out.
One trip to the Woodford Distillery will make you a WR loyalist forever. And the Woodford Gold Rush at Proof is worth every drop – WR, Honey Simple Syrup and Lemon!
Woodford the very best of the best! Soooo smooth………..
Looks like Brown-Forman has mobilized its entire marketing department to post on this thread. “Loyalist?” You’re letting your MBA show, dear.
Love Eagle Rare, Maker’s Mark 46, 4 Roses Single Barrel, Four rOses Small Batch, Buffalo Trace, Red Stag, Just to name a few!
I’m a big Maker’s Mark fan. I’m not too impressed with your survey since you can vote multiple times.
Blanton’s is hands down the best bourbon ever and the fact that it isn’t on this list just proves that you all are ignorant retards.
Makers is the King
I just returned from Kentucky and some major Bourbon tastings. I went to the Woodford distillery and it is quite good, but I found my tastes leaning towards Maker’s. Baker’s and Knob Creek were also excellent. I know this isn’t the place to say this, but am a decades long Jack Daniels drinker, and I admit am now cheating on dear Jack with Maker’s. Hoping someone will give me a bottle of Baker’s for a birthday treat! What’s wrong with a house full of various bourbons?
Valentines Reserve 51 y/o Best I have ever tasted! Period!
Makers Mark, nothing else will do.
markers mark is the BEST!!!!!!!!
I toured Markers Mark on 9/24 and had a great time,waxed my own
bottle and brought of 64 home for the sons in law. the proof is in the way they do things. Thanks
Maker’s for everyday; Pappy for special occasions.
Pappy’s 23-15-20, was a Woodford fan for yrs, tour and all… until Pappy and Old Rip van Winkle filled my glass.
I am a Woodford man………Period.
Woodford is my go to bourbon. Makers Mark and Knob Creek run a close #2 and #2A.
Pappy 12 year is my special occasion bourbon, but for my standard “go to” drink it’s all Woodford.
