Like most things, it depends on your budget. I think you can get really good stuff for less than $45.

Some of my favorites:
Angel's Envy
1792 Single Barrel
Henry McKenna Single Barrel
Larceny ($28'ish)

There are a bunch of really good reviewer sites, plug in a couple of those and see if the reviews sound like something you'd enjoy.

My favorite review sites are https://distiller.com/ and http://www.breakingbourbon.com/index.html

[Calborn]

Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Old fashioned with Knob Creek is my go-to

[OT2000]

Only have this one, don’t drink much liquor. On the rocks or with a splash of coke

[Murph0408]

been on a real bourbon kick the last few months and trying lots of brands. had Old Forrester for the first time on Tuesday and really enjoyed it. always order over ice and that's it

love Bookers when I'm out eating a good dinner, goes well with steaks


also enjoy Blanton's

Noah's Mill is a sleeper, if you find it, give it a try

I'm here, let the party begin.

Eagle rare 10 is my go to (want to try 17).

A colleague of mine has the most amazing bourbon collection ever. He travels the US with his wife searching for stuff. I bet 20 grand (and for bourbon that’s everything).

Edit: neat if trying a new whiskey, a little water if around the fire for a night, ice if cheap stuff at home. I don’t like high rye (spicy) stuff. Not a fan of wheat bourbons either (makers, pappy etc.)

[TrinnieBuu]

My staples: Knob Creek, Four Roses.

Not exactly a bourbon snob so wouldn't turn down Makers or Bulleit either though.

After I'm done cutting I might start trying some recipes. Now I just take everything neat mostly because of the calories.

HNNGGG love Blantons, just wish it were cheaper. I like it just as much as others $15-20 less so it's hard to justify the price.

YAS. I did a blind tasting last week with no idea what I was tasting, we got to grade them and found out after what each one was..... Eagle Rare 10 was my highest scored of the 6. Great stuff, impossible to find around here in Central Ohio.

I rarely bring a bottle home for that reason. It's usually only a dollar or two more per glass at a restaurant, so I'll do that instead.

common here in my small Canadian town’s stores, crazy it’s harder to find in the US.

I e had a hard time finding blantons here, and I’m more of an Irish whiskey guy and really struggle to find some good stuff

[MrBourbon]

I love whiskey in general but you can't beat a good bourbon. Buffalo Trace is my favorite all around distillery - we keep their bottom shelf (Benchmark No. 8) for mixing with coke etc, Buffalo Trace to drink neat, and I like their high end stuff when it's time for something special.

[DA_MOSS]

definitely in on this!

Manhattan is my go to these days.. or neat

Eagle Rare 10 Year is definitely a great one IMO

[Redfish225]

Cognac crew.

Lots of good bourbons under $30. At around the $70 price point though I'd rather just buy single malts. I prefer products with an age statement as they tend to seem more consistent but that's harder to come by these days. Also BT distillery products are a bit over rated and their pricing scheme is stupid. ER10 is $25 but standard BT is $30.

[MrBourbon]

ER10 is $25 but standard BT is $30.

*kicks you under the table*

Shut the F*CK UP bro. You want them to find out about Eagle Rare too?!? Regular BT used to be a steal until word got out and they jacked their prices. We gotta keep the secret safe ayyyy

[sloop]

Have any of you guys tried this Bowman Bros Small Batch? Distiller.com keeps recommending this to me based on my interests and I haven't found it any local bars or stores?

[BuildUpNow]

Store shelves are always stocked with ER. I think the wine bottle design really turns people off. BT is more likely to discontinue it or throw it into the BTAC line. I've tried convincing people to buy it but they simply look at the bottle and just put it back on the shelf.

There's a few bourbons like ER10 and HMcK10 for $25 that people just pass over for chit products like JD or Makers even though they want a better drinking experience.

[TMac26]

innnnnnnnnnnn

[TMac26]

If you can find it, this one is a good choice.

[sloop]

Fuuu.. I see this at almost every store here, no less than $85

[TMac26]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet.


I found it for 50 here.

[Bigdumogre]

Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Old fashioned with Knob Creek is my go-to

That’s my poison

[BlueSasquatch]

Breckenridge Bourbon
Blade & Bow
Eagle Rare
Buffalo Trace

Had some Old Forge Distillery Bourbon a few months back, very hot but I'd buy another bottle of it.

Gonna order some Koval soon.

Did the Bourbon trail with the wife like 3 years back, alot of fun if anyone can make it work.

Gives a good summary of Bourbon, short history/backstory and useful when you can't find anything at the local ****-store of a liquor store.

Looking to make a copper still this winter, use some grain off the farm for some mash, see if I can make anything at all palatable, save some green.

[Kiefer 2004]

Bourbon is my favorite type of liquor, however, I don't drink much liquor these days.
I usually drink neat or on the rocks; For mixed drinks, I like Old Fashioned and whiskey sours.
If I'm drinking a bottom shelf bourbon, I'll mix with coke or ginger ale.
Next year I'm going to get into rye whiskey.

[WeekndOrNah]

fuark in on first page. I don't drink as much whiskey as I used though

Yamazaki 12 >>>>>

I prefer Rye over Bourbon anyways *shrugs*
