393foureyedfox Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I thought this would be an interesting topic. Everyone here has a favorite bourbon, favorite rye, favorite whiskey, etc, and most are vocal about it. A truer picture may come out, whether we are aware of it or not, by stating what single label you've consumed more of than anything. This factors availability, cost, quality, taste and other specifics in as a whole...and I thought it'd be interesting.Mine is Heaven Hill 6 year BIB. It's not my top/favorite bourbon, but is at the bottom of my top 5, and considering it's easily attained here in KY and is $10-11, I've gone through more of this label than anything. It's good, and you don't cringe at the thought of finishing off a bottle, leaving you free to just enjoy it.So, what's yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavius Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Honestly, it's probably Buffalo Trace. Maybe followed closely by Evan Williams Single Barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dusty Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Weller 12. Although thanks to its status as "Pappy light" that run will be coming to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh_NC Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 great idea for a thread. I don't think i've settled on a favorite label, but i'm hoping to get some inspiration here. I'm just getting to the point where I think I've tried everything on the shelf at my local store. Haven't tried everything twice, but I'd probably say Evan Williams Single Barrel for now.

Flyfish Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Checked my bourbon log for the past three years and found a dead heat between AAA10 and VOB 6YO BIB. Drank the last two bottles of VOB last summer. Have a handle of AAA left--which will be kept in the "reference library" until Mrs. F shares it with her next husband.If "label" includes different iterations that go by the same name, then it is Evan Williams Blk, White, 1783, and SB.

The Black Tot Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I haven't leaned too heavily on anything I love yet, since I'm trying too many bottles to keep up with. What I have leaned on, has been to kill the bottles because I wasn't thrilled with them, which isn't really the spirit of your question.However, after I clean up the significant armada of opened bottles, I PLAN to lean on:1. OWA/SB blend.2. SAOS3. EC12/BP if I can ever find some4. ETL5. 4R store selects6. OGD114I also have to do more work following your Heaven Hill investigations, Doug, since that distillery keeps coming up trumps for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 In my adulthood, I've probably consumed more 8yr WT 101 than anything (well there was that 4 years of JB white blur called college:grin:). Over the past few years, I seem to have gone out of my way to avoid regularity. Once the OC 10, AAA 10yr and ages stated 101 were gone, I guess you can say that I've spread my wings!

jwacky Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Mellow Corn for me by a fairly wide margin. Second would be WT101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hmmmmm.... Four way tie?EW Vintage SBSB BlendHenry McKenna 10 yr. BIBOld Forester Signature....and I'd add Ezra B SB, except I've come lately to fear a fall-off in quality of the newer bottles; so I'm saving the several I have bunkered and kinda rationing 'em. I know many here don't give much of a damn for the NDP brands; but this one hits my sweet spot... or at least it used to..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nillion Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 OGD BIB and EC12. The first because I offer it to all my guests and bring a bottle whenever a friend has people over, and the latter due to my own personal consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Gotta be Buffalo Trace or Weller 12 for me, though EC12 is gaining ground the past year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskyRI Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I find I get on a kick for a while, drink nothing but that and then switch gears onto something else. For me it started with Beam, then during college it was Maker's, in the Navy it was Knob Creek bought dirt cheap in the Exchange. After the Navy I bounced between brands trying different things before settling onto Old Fitzgerald Bottled in Bond. Alas now that has been discontinued I find myself saving my stash of OF BiB for "special occasions" and drinking a fair of amount of Henry McKenna BiB 10 year. I also buy in bulk now - if I find a private bottling of something I like I'll buy a case or two depending on price and how much I like it. Last year I went through about 8 bottles of a really nice Loch and Key bottling of Elmer T. Lee. And I wish I'd bought more, although I've put aside a few bottles for the future.

JonRob Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Last year it was lots of Bulleit... This year it's mostly Heaven Hill 90 proof and Hennry Mckenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amg Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I can't think of anything I've had more than one bottle of this year. maybe EWSB? I can tell that HH6 BiB is going to be a staple around here, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
