What bourbon do you keep on your bar cart?

The key to creating this classic cocktail is choosing the right bourbon. My personal favorite is Bulliet Bourbon. Bulliet Bourbon has a higher Rye content which gives us a better balance of sugar and whiskey. Since the old fashioned is essentially bourbon, sugar, and water, the whiskey matters. A lot.
