What is the best tasting whiskey that you bring to hunting camp?

Buffalo Trace, Woodford Reserve and Heaven Hill Distilleries are producing some really good bourbon and not too pricey. Knob Creek has also stepped up their game with some real good Bourbon. My current favorites are Buffalo Trace's Wellers and Woodford Reserve's Double Oaked.
I'm from KY, you Sir know your bourbon.
 
By accident,(we were running out of everything), we discovered that Fireball added to English Breakfast tea is a great warm drink sitting around a campfire at night.
 
If you're ever in Virginia, try the Lost Whiskey Club bourbon. I get some each time I'm there. Have never seen it in other than the slender pint bottles.
 
I feel your pain. I find I sleep better with no alcohol.
But I won't give in, I'm no quitter.
Unfortunately on days off I still enjoy a few beers and occasionally a couple of Rums after dinner.
I have had sleep issues for many years. I was never a heavy drinker, usually a glass or two of red wine with dinner. Then I read an article that explained that alcohol is a sleep disruptor, and it prompted me to stop. I have no moral objections to drinking, just trying to do everything I can to sleep better. Early morning sun, plenty of exercise, eating at consistent times, going to bed and getting up at consistent times, etc.
 
I had a friend that wouldn't leave camp until it was dry. You had to hide it out. Otherwise it would be gone.
I remember him one time finally coming from the lower camp to the upper camp site. Said he would share with me, and them we could work on mine. I tiold him it was in the pickup and several miles away. He was mad and said I couldn't have any of his. 🤣 To Bad, To Bad!
If it was my deer camp, he would never be invited again. In my camp, it's all friends and we share and share alike. Bring a bottle, or two. It goes onto the booze table for all to partake. There is generally no cheap booze, with maybe the exception of Old Smugglers Scotch, which many of us happen to like the flavor of. While there is no accounting for anyone's taste, I prefer it to Johnny Walker, either red or black, and I'm not alone.

The same is true with bourbon. Price is not always indicative of what was put into the bottle. Today people are often hoodwinked by price and advertisement than actual experience with their taste buds. None other than Jimmy Russell will support this as fact.
