Glad I was able to grab a bottle of the 12 year when I did. I haven't opened it yet, but hope to get into it soon. If I like it, I should probably grab another bottle before it's gone...

In order:
Eagle Rare
EC 12
Evan Williams Single Barrel
The EW is new to me but can't beat the price @ $25, age statement with a full body

I am currently working on a bottle of Old Forrestor 100 proof. Very nice.
I bought my first bottle of EW SB in January. It didn't last long, that is a drink so smooth it is almost dangerous.
Blanton's is my favorite when I can find it but for everyday "sip'in" I go to Gentleman Jack or Single Barrel Jack.
I'm enjoying Henry McKenna Single Barrel 10yo!!!
Yes sir! Good stuff!!!
Yes - Blanton's has been more difficult to find these days. When I called their distributor in Cali I was told although they have become more popular, they have not increased production - presumably to keep the quality their known for. I was gifted a bottle of Blanton's last year and just found it's replacement. The distributor here pointed me to a market nearby that just had a "delivery."
So now the world is right again...
I went back to Small Batch Four Roses.
A very fine pour.

Grand Traverse rye is very good. I visited the distillery last summer.
I am surprised to see no love for Bulleit 10 year.
I bought a bottle of the Elijah Craig Small Batch. It is really good. I am enjoying a glass tonight before I crash. It definitely improved after allowing the whiskey to breath. I poured a glass last night and covered it with a napkin. Tonight it is just divine. I know there are those that would be aghast at this method but it is my way. My next bottle will be some four roses
McBrayer 1913. Still have 1/2 bottle left. It comes out on very special occasions with very special people!
Well I obviously loved the flavors of the Elijah Craig, but I picked up a bottle of the Weller Special Reserve today and that is wonderful stuff. It is a wheated bourbon so it is a bit smother than some. It does not have the complexity of the Elijah but it is extremely drinkable. On a side note it is pretty cheap. A 5th was $22 and the half gal was just a tad over $30
Generally it's Woodford. My favorite Woodford is their Masters Collection Maple. I don't get any rye taste in it. Pepper, yes. But have you tried their Rye? 
Favorite at any cost? Well I have this bottle of A H Hirsch . . . (I bought it at about $100 bucks so it isn't the most expensive in my cabinet based on purchase price.) I am lucky enough to have more than one Pappy's that are favorites on a given day. I love this question but bourbon is too broad, I think, to have just one favorite. Should I just say the next one is my favorite.

Going to buy a bottle of Blanton's since my dad is visiting.
Picked up a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel, oh my.... it's good, it's very good.
I like it too and plan to visit the distillery Monday.
