A good friend sent JD Single Barrel last Christmas. It's really good and I like it for special days (I think Fridays are very special). Regular No. 7 on most days is very pleasing.

I like Woodford but if I'm buying bourbon, it's usually Knob Creek.

And if you like the Balvenie 12yr DoubleWood you have there, then may I suggest the Balvenie 21yr Port Wood. It's a bit more, but worth the extra cost in my opinon.

Johnny Walker,makes a Blue label that is very smooth but exspensive about $160.00-$200.00 a bottle.Jonny Walker Black label is also good,I have never been sold on the idea that single malt scotches are always better.
 
Just be aware that Crown Royal is a blended product. After our Looseville meet there are a LOT of bourbonwise people here :)
BTW blended means it is blended with other things, like vodka, fruit juices, wine,,etc.

At my house we call this "breakfast".
 
Mine would be frozen. Not that bourbon freezes but makes it pretty damn good.

Otherwise I just stick to Mr. Beam and lately Buffalo Trace.
 
Good choices

I'd agree with Maker's for sure. It's always in my liquor cabinet (well, unless I drink it all). For a special occasion, I also really like Baker's, which is made by the same folks who do Booker's and Knob Creek.

History
Named after Baker Beam, grand nephew of the legendary Jim Beam, Baker’s Bourbon is seven-years-old and hand-bottled at 107 proof. Embracing over six generations of distilling experience, Baker's Bourbon utilizes a special strain of jug yeast that has been in his family for over 60 years. This time tested yeast provides Baker's with a silky smooth texture and consistent taste from batch to batch.
Distinctions
Baker’s is a remarkably smooth bourbon. Intensely flavorful, full-bodied and ideally balanced, it is preferred by Cognac aficionados, making for an excellent after dinner drink.

All Bourbons are Whiskeys.

Not all Whiskeys are Bourbons...

Jack Daniel is Whiskey.

I really like Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace and Booker's.
