I am currently building my pallet for bourbon and really knew nothing about it. I am a gin drinker. Last night when and hung out with some friends at the bar and decided to give bourbon a go. On a recommendation of my friend who was bar tending, I tried the Basil Hayden first. It was so smooth, I really enjoyed it. After that, I gave the Buffalo Trace a try and though it didn't match the BH I still enjoyed it. Going to enjoy continuing the process of finding my favorite one.
