An excellent premium boubon for drinking neat, Basil Hayden is also my go-to bourbon for cocktails. Mix your Manhattan around this when you're holding the Pappy Van Winkle's 20 year old in reserve for sippin'. (via Small Batch Bourbons)

This is the bourbon to have at your side when you want to show Scotch a thing or two about complexity, satisfaction and taste. Only bested by the much more scarce 23 Year Old, Pappy's isn't for Manhattans. Sip it neat and sparing for its honey, wood, smoke and spice subtlety. It isn't benign but it slides down buttery smooth. If you're inclined, a serious cigar wouldn't hurt. Pour Pappy's for a nice vacation in a single glass.

If you're really lucky, you'll stumble on a bottle of the fleeting 23. (via beerliquors.com)
