A local bar recently started offering bourbon flights and I tried a few last night that are hard to find and/or a bit crazy price-wise for a bottle.
Kentucky Owl (originally Midwinter's Night Dram, but they were out).... first sip wasn't great, but the other two seemed to bring something out of this one that was pretty damn good. Couldn't put my finger on it (and don't know which batch/variety it was specifically), but it was a close 2nd. I was reading reviews this morning and it seems to get bashed a decent amount for the price tags, but really enjoyed it.
E. H. Taylor Single Barrel.... EH Taylor shows up at the local liquor store and they post a few bottles to social media as a "come and get it, one per group" sort of thing, and I've never rushed out to get it. It was good, but didn't think it differentiated itself enough to rush out the door to grab a bottle (don't know how much it goes for here, but looks like online it's anywhere from $70-150+... nah).
Knob Creek Cask Strength 2009 Rye.... odd name for a 9yo bourbon, but like the name suggests, seems much older (for a relatively bourbon noob, anyway), as there was a lot going on with this one. If I was the type who could rattle off different flavors, this might include 15 things. Definitely the most complex of the three with a lot of barrel, and last night's winner.
