   Buffalo Trace & Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

   These two need to be on everybody's shelf! Buffalo Trace at $30-ish is a solid, all-around choice. You can't go wrong with it. As for the Woodford Reserve Double Oaked... There's a reason it's known as "Dessert in a glass." Wow! Stick with it neat, though. While it does hold up well to ice, it's just plain better solo!

   Horse Soldier Straight Bourbon Whiskey & Redwood Empire Pipe Dream

   Two choices with really interesting back stories this time... Horse Soldier, named for the Green Berets who fought in Afghanistan after 9/11, and Redwood Empire that sources distillate from four different states. Two solid sippers here, with the west coast offering winning by a nose!

   Clyde May's SBW & Yellowstone Toasted

   A pair of light, easy-sippers this time. We both rated both at 3.0 and recommend against using them in cocktails. For sure, neat is the best option, although the Yellowstone Toasted on a big rock is a solid choice.
