Help me out, Father’s Day bourbon pick

[XingEyeballs]

I’m struggling to pick a bottle for my Dad for Father’s Day. I collect a lot of different bourbon and ryes and can usually come up with one for him but now with the weekend drawing near I still don’t have any ideas for something different/special/fun.

Profiles he seems to be drawn to are Evan Williams lines, Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Woodford Wheated…
Surprised him with a bottle of EH Taylor SB a couple months ago and he was a fan of that too

Ideas? Budget is a little bit open but availability is going to be the important thing

Four Roses small batch select.

Old forrester 1920

[GregA]

Angels Envy Finished Rye. Technically a whisky but drinks like a bourbon.

[BASSBUZZ]

Basil Hayden Toast

[DoctorJJ]

Elijah Craig Small Bath Barrel Proof or Knob Creek 12yr.

Four Roses small batch select.

Never had the select but I am a big fan of the regular small batch. That said, I most highly recommend Bib and Tucker. Around here, it is about $60 a bottle as opposed to $30 for Four Roses Small Batch and it is super good. Super, super good.

I had that EH Taylor tonight, and the finished a bottle of the Woodfords Sunday. Eagle Rare is right in his wheelhouse (same mash bill as the BT and EH T).

Eagle Rare

Blantons, if you can find it really smooth. Woodford Reserve, best sipping IMO. Basil Haydens, not the toast. Bookers to impress, 136 proof, but rich and smooth. Chicken Cock is really good.

This is one with a good story behind it. https://horsesoldierbourbon.com/

Stagg Jr if you can find a bottle. Have also heard good things about the Bardstown Discovery Series (a bit pricey though).

[MarkVarble]

Elijah Craig 15 year; Whistle Pig Boss Hog; Old Fitzgerald 13 year or 15 year.

Woodford reserve double oak. Very soft and easy to sip.

Another really good pick would be Old Forester 1910 or 1920. Both are very nice

[sofakingbigbass]

Eagle Rare, Old Elk Wheated, Blantons, Hancock Reserve, McKenna 10, Old Forester 1910 or Weller SR for lower proofers. For high proof Makers 46 Cask Strength, Old Forester 1920, Weller 107, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof (although batch A122 isn’t their best), Jack Daniels Barrel Proof, or Stagg if you can find it (they dropped the Jr)

[Riccochet]

Elijah Craig 15 year; Whistle Pig Boss Hog; Old Fitzgerald 13 year or 15 year.

This.

Or Blanton's Green or Black label. Or if you can find it Bardstown Triple Stave Triple Blend. Bardstown Fusion 7 is another solid choice. Michters Shenks, hard to find though.

Some good ideas guys, keep them coming…the challenge with some of them is finding them but I’m getting some more ideas. Thanks
