Bourbon whisky recommendations sought

I'd like to buy some bourbon for a friend, but don't know what their preferred brand is. I know they don't like Jack Daniels (which I don't think qualifies as a bourbon anyway). If you can recommend something I'd appreciate it! Either a bottle or a selection of miniatures would be good, and ideally something I can buy instore rather than order. I live in a city so have access to the usual supermarkets and off-licenses.

Jim Beam is the best, and our Morrisons currently has a litre for £19.50 which is ridiculously cheap Grin

My dh is a fan of woodford reserve, which is very nice :)

Buffalo Trace is good. Some bourbon drinkers are a bit sniffy about JD.

Interested in this thread?

Excuse the name but Knob Creek is nice (and you get lots of mileage out of 'knob' jokes). Asda sell it.

Definitely Woodford reserve

Bulleit or Woodford Reserve

Jack Daniels is definitely a bourbon.

But yes Woodford Reserve is a good choice. As is Eagle Rare which you can now get in some UK supermarkets.

Another vote for Woodford Reserve.

Jack Daniels is definitely NOT a bourbon - a whiskey may only be called a bourbon if it's made in Bourbon County, Kentucky.
Maker's Mark is very nice, haven't tried Woodford Reserve but have heard it's good, must look into it - mostly I drink rum.

Jim bean is good especially when you use Moxie as a mixer

Evan Williams is excellent. I like the cherry one, but the extra black aged is my favourite.

Jack Daniels is an abomination!

From a supermarket I'd be happy with a bottle of Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace or Woodford Reserve.

Bulleit is dh's favourite and I enjoy an occasional one with coke too.
