[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 668822, member: 198"] That's pretty diverse. Everyone's palate is different (and your palate will change day-to-day, as well), but if you like Uncle Nearest, then you might be a fan of the Lincoln County Process (reportedly Jack Daniels learned the process of charcoal filtration from Uncle Nearest). So, I'd try Jack Daniels Single Barrel. Widow Jane comes in two varieties, 10 yr (white label) and 12 yr (black label), and although the 10 yr is good, 12 yr is that much better. You're shelling out some bucks for Widow Jane. If you like Maker's, try Maker's 46. Also, other wheated whiskeys might be appealing to you (Bernheim, Larceny, Weller (any of them, if you can find them)). I love Old Forester 1920, especially since it's 115 proof. It's well built and will hold up to an ice cube or drop of water if you're so inclined. But if you haven't tried the OF 1910 (took forever to come back out), then you absolutely have to try it. It's a chocolate bomb. Basil Hayden is the same exact mash bill as Old Grand Dad. Age OGD 114 3 more years and water it down and you have Basil Hayden 9 yr. When they took the age statement off, you were basically getting OGD 114 watered down and paying $10 more than OGD 114. Then they brought the age statement back and charged $20 more. I'm not a fan of such shenanigans. If you want Basil's, try OGD 114 and add some water. You'll be amazed at the similarity of taste. I don't like finished bourbons, and that's Angel's Envy. There are a lot of good, interesting finished products, but they're not for me, so I don't have a good recommendation. I will say that I love the unfinished Joseph Magnus bourbon (sourced from MGP in Indiana). Most of what they put out is sherry finished. It's pricey, maybe too pricey. Interesting boubons: Starlight (Indiana distillery), Booker's (nothing held back there), Four Roses Single Barrel (better yet, look for one of the private select store picks near you), Garrison Brothers (Texas and good), Russel Reserve Single Barrel (the best non-allocated product from Wild Turkey, and worth every penny), and for everyday, try either Early Times Bottled-in-Bond or J.W.
