Hello all,
I am looking for a good small batch or single barrel bourbon to take to my buddy's bachelor party. In particular, I would like to bring something obscure with a nice presentation. I have had all of the Jim Beam small batches, with Knob Creek being my favorite. Overall, my favorite bourbon is Woodford Reserve, with no close seconds. We have had this on several occasions and I want to surprise him with something new. After reading the tasting notes, I am considering Blanton's or Hancock's President's Reserve. I wondered if someone could give me their opinion on which is better and compare/contrast the two. I am open to choosing something else, but would like to stay in their price range, since I am a graduate student and cannot indulge at will yet. I appreciate any feedback.
