Even though most of you style-o-nauts seem to be leaning toward Woodford, I may try the Buffalo Trace, as its on sale for $19.99 at BevMo, and see if this drink is really worth "investing in." Hell, I really love bloody marys but only ever buy Smirnoff (the REAL secret's in the pickle juice.....shhhh!!). Who knows, maybe I'll fall head over heels and spring for a $600 coin silver julep cup!
P.S. if you google "Best Bourbon for Juleps" this thread is now the #3 response!!

I usually use Black Maple Hills (Small Batch, not any of the vintage dated stuff), but I could certainly see BT working. Its got a little spice to counter all the sugar in the drink.
