I was also a little disappointed with blantons. don't get me wrong, it's very enjoyable. It just seemed a little one dimensional to me; very sweet caramel and vanilla with a little bit of spice towards the end. There was no development as I sipped it. No complexity. Very easy drinking though. This would go great with a cigar, but other than that, I'll pass.
I also like Makers Mark. I just found Maker's Mark Private Select and really enjoyed this a lot. sweet, with a short intense citrus note followed by a very mouthwatering chocolate finish. each batch is going to be different though.
I still like scotch better, but I'm thinking about always making sure I have at least one of those bottles around for my bourbon friends!
