4. Bourbon. And as a Washington State patriot, I only keep Woodinville Bourbon in the house. Incredible stuff.

Woodinville also distills a rye whiskey, which I have tried. I didn't like it any more than I've liked any other rye. I just can't get into it. Rye is too harsh, too rough around the edges. I don't even keep it as a mixer anymore. I just substitute bourbon.

I've never tried Maker's Mark. But I've heard good things.

I was never a fan of Rye either. My favorite, but very pricey bourbon, is from Kings County GP6971 Sunday #5

What's the name of the bourbon? Aristus Sunday #6

Kings County Distillery. Link is below. Pricing is for 200ml bottles. GP6971 Sunday #7

The prices are not at all unreasonable. Aristus Sunday #8
