I'm mostly a Scotch guy. My favorites right now are both peated and sherry finished, with Talisker Distiller's Edition and Ardbeg Uigeadail at the top of my list.
For bourbon, I generally go with Wild Turkey 101. To me, it's a well balanced, classic bourbon flavor that's a decent price (for Seattle, our liquor taxes are insane). Evan Williams bottled in bond is also decent at an incredible price, though I found it has an unusual anise/licorice note to it. Not necessarily bad, but was unexpected. It goes away when mixed.
Michters American is a great, not quite bourbon whiskey. Angel's Envy rum finished rye is fantastic (though kinda pricey) and Woodinville Whiskey's port finished bourbon is great (better than the standard Angel's Envy, IMHO)
However, I still believe that the old saying is still the truth: The best whiskey in the world is the your favorite whiskey, the way you like to drink it.
