If you prefer the former, I'd recommend a wheated bourbon (classic being Weller, which is quite inexpensive at around $25 for the Special Reserve but hard to find). Assuming you can't find Weller, I'd recommend Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare (both along with Weller are made at the Buffalo Trace Distillery). If you prefer something more biting and complex, Elijah Craig would be a reasonable option.
I was in Ohio over the weekend, and Bourbon distilleries were relatively close by. I remember seeing these recommendations way back in this thread, but I couldn't fit distillery visits into the schedule.
Logically the next best thing was to visit various liquor stores. After some searching, I came home with two bottles of Weller Special Reserve and one bottle of Weller Antique 107. Looking forward to tasting later this week.
