I went through Kentucky a couple weeks ago and we went to the Buffalo Trace distillery. They make Blantons, Ancient Age (I think its the best of the cheap bourbons), Weller, Old Charter, Buffalo Trace, the Van Winkles and Eagle Rare. I brought back a bottle of the 10 year old Eagle Rare. I thought it was great.
They also make some rye whiskies like Sazerac and some of the Van Winkles are considered rye whiskies.
