Maker’s Mark only because you don’t have Woodford Reserve on there. That’s the best thing ever. ---

Knob Creek if those are my only options. Buffalo Trace if I get my pick of anything withing a similar price range. [This](http://www.oldripvanwinkle.com/newbs/vw/website3.nsf/docsbykey/HNEY-5FFM32?opendocument) if I have my choice of anything at all. ---

Knob Creek by a wide margin. Makers is good for mixing though. ---

> [@norinew](#): > > Might I inquire as to the price range of this product? I may have just found my hubby’s Christmas gift! 🆒 It’s in the $100 range, depending on where you find it. I got a bottle as a christmas gift a few years ago and it’s great. ---

I’ve tried them all (except for the Pappy’s); the distilleries are all within a few miles of where I live. Woodford Reserve is mighty excellent, though I am partial to the Four Roses Single Barrel. ---

Maker’s Mark for Manhattans, Knob Creek for sipping neat around the fire. Woodford Reserve is superior to both, but none hold a candle to A. H. Hirsch 16 Year Pure Pot Still. Stranger ---

I almost want to say Makers, because they send me cool shit in the mail (the Makers giftwrap paper is key), but the answer is Knob Creek. ---
