Four Roses is awesome. It commands $16/glass in fancy whiskey bars. And you can buy the whole bottle in a shop for $33 and do your drinking at home.
I disagree about Buffalo Trace -- I don't get it. But hey -- that's why they make more than one kind of whiskey.
My old fave was Elijah Craig, but Four Roses has replaced it.
The last time I had WT was a mid-80s summer, when I was leaving a party and a coworker thrust a handle of 101 through my driver's window, offering me a chug for the road. I was young and stupid, so I took it. (And lucky, no consequences.) Different times.

Subject: Is drinking Wild Turkey low class?
I drink wild turkey-although I recently bought a bottle of Four Roses and that may be my new bourbon. What can I say, I'm a price-conscious bourbon drinker. My MIL always makes fun of me because she thinks WT is low class, but to my way of thinking someone who drinks a handle of Maker's Mark in week (plus how many bottles of white wine) shouldn't be casting stones at the bottle of WT I've had on my fridge for months.
