Favorite bourbon(s) under $50...go...

George Dickel

 

Bulleit.

 

Makers...regular or 46
Blantons...though I'm not positive it's under 50
Rogue

 

Most of my buys are under $50.00 only one was over and its good but Bulliet, 4 roses,Eagle rare and Evan Williams single barrel are excellent for sure.

 

Eagle Rare Single Barrel

 

Bulleit Rye

 

I have tried most everything and really like makers mark. Bookers is my favorite on the high end. Woodford tastes cloying to me. Wild turkey 101 has got a certain something going on.

 

Corner Creek Reserve

 

High West, from Utah, American Prairie Reserve. Really really nice. Michters makes a great bourbon too.

 

Have had great ones but every bottle is different seems like.

 

I believe it is small batch bourbon so it seems likely, but I have never had a "bad" bottle.

 

I'm not positive it's under 50

 

Me either, had one that was very special though, which made the other disappointing. Im pretty sure they are a negociant.

 

Bulleit
Maker's
Woodford Reserve

(Not necessarily in that order)

One of my favorite things about Bourbon are the price points. As much as I love a good single malt Scotch, it's a pricy hobby to have. You can get a bottle of pretty damn good bourbon for $30. You can get merely "It's alright" scotch for the same price point.

 

Makers is what I usually pick up if I'm drinking bourbon.

 

last week I picked up a bottle of jim beam - the four year old white label, don't laugh, it's kindof my first purchase in terms of whiskey. I dig it well enough, I'm not whiskey expert, but it beats some of the other whiskeys that I've had in terms of being mixed. Not sure how well it does on its own, my repertoire for whiskey is limited to canadian club, wiser's, and jack, so I'm not exactly a connoiseur at the moment like I am with beer, but I have the intention of getting there slowly.
