Not a whisky bar list, this is just the bottles I keep going back to like a reliable holding midfielder. Ranked less scientifically than my club's xG model but with more conviction. ABV, price and vibe check included for the fellow nerds.

Bourbons, die ich bewerte — 8 items
Name	Bourbon	Distillery	ABV	Price Range	My take
1Buffalo Trace	Buffalo Trace	Buffalo Trace Distillery, Kentucky	45%	£28-£32	The Kane on this list. Not flashy, just does the basics right every single time.
2Woodford Reserve	Woodford Reserve	Woodford Reserve Distillery, Kentucky	43.2%	£32-£36	Smooth operator, plays it safe on the wing. Good for guests who say they 'don't really do whisky'.
3Maker's Mark	Maker's Mark	Maker's Mark Distillery, Kentucky	45%	£30-£34	Red wax top gets more comments than the bourbon itself. Wheated and gentle, like a false nine nobody feared.
4Four Roses Single Barrel	Four Roses Single Barrel	Four Roses Distillery, Kentucky	50%	£38-£42	Spicier and more interesting than the standard yellow label. Comes off the bench and changes the game.
5Bulleit Bourbon	Bulleit Bourbon	Bulleit Distilling Co, Kentucky	45%	£26-£30	High rye content, so it bites a bit. The Kalvin Phillips of bourbons: high energy, always closing down space.
6Elijah Craig Small Batch	Elijah Craig Small Batch	Heaven Hill Distillery, Kentucky	47%	£32-£36	Underrated value pick, punches above its price point. The League One team that should really be higher up.
7Knob Creek	Knob Creek	Jim Beam Distillery, Kentucky	50%	£34-£38	Nine years in the barrel and it shows. Proper heavyweight, oaky and confident like a captain who's seen it all.
8Old Forester 1920	Old Forester 1920	Old Forester Distillery, Kentucky	57.5%	£55-£62	Cask strength, no water added, no apologies. This is the VAR check that always goes against you but you respect it.
