I think The Glenlivet 18 is a fine choice to celebrate promotion... might even order a couple of bottles of Whisky Exchange!

Been sampling the Bulleit Bourbon and Rye over the past few weeks. Think I actually prefer the rye. Also got given some Black Bush (Bushmills) which started my love affair with whisky. Still love it after all these years <awe>

To avoid punishment, they lured staff they had hired illegally in for a "meeting" which turned out to be a Border Agency sting <disgrace>.

Haven't tried that one. The Balvenie 17 year old DoubleWood has been on my wishlist for a while so may get a bottle for my birthday in summer.

I start a new job next week so got a bottle of Woodford from my boss as a leaving present.

Got a bottle of Knob Creek last night. It was between that or Maker's Mark. Chose Knob Creek because I'm immature. Actually really like it <ok>

The 17 year old Doublewood is the dogs bollocks... one of my favourites - it's gone up in price though, used to be £77, now it's like £91.

The only time I tasted Maker's Mark I was already a little buzzed, so anything would have tasted nice at the time, but I think I made the right choice with a bit of knob. Probably slots into my top 5.

The only other option I've seen mentioned on here that I haven't seen in any stores is Woodford reserve. I must try it sometime.

Couple of guys from my old work gave me a bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon when I left. Based on how little I knew them I'm guessing it's like a tesco or Asda own-brand bottle but it's actually really good. Kind of hoping it is a cheap gift because I want to buy some more <diva>

It's one of the first ones that I used to buy regularly when I first got into bourbon. You can generally get it for £20 a bottle in most supermarkets so it's in direct competition with the likes of JD and Benchmark Bourbon. In that price range i'd pick Buffalo Trace everyday out of those three.
