Note to all Bourbon fanboys: it’s okay to indulge in other spirits from time to time. Especially when there are so many options to explore.

Buffalo Trace | Rating 89

I know many of you readers agree with the Boys that good bourbon is best enjoyed with a good story. Most distilleries recognize this and present their whiskeys with a nostalgic label or grand tale.
