[El Diablo]

matt,

Maker's is probably my most common "everyday" Bourbon and I agree w/ your review. For a slight step up and slightly smoother, I also agree that Knob Creek is a good choice, but I think I slightly prefer Woodford Reserve. Some of the other bourbons I mention that are excellent are quite a bit pricier, but for not much more of a jump, the Elijah Craig 18 is great, an incredible value.
