Best bourbon under $50?

[Jeepster48439]

Recently discovered Hulu. Mainly because it is included as part of my cell plan. While looking for something to watch, I stumbled on a program called "Neat: The History of Bourbon". Watching this program put me in the mood for some bourbon. Decided to open a bottle of Four Rose Small Batch. Very nice. Little burn, long lasting heat.

Tasting notes state:

Nose:	Mellow spice, rich fruit, hints of sweet oak & caramel.
Palate:	Mellow, ripened red berries, dried spice, well-balanced, rich.
Finish:	Soft, smooth & pleasantly long.

I think Jim Beam is the only bourbon I've had. Judging from this thread, I need to expand my horizons.

All kinds of bourbon is on sale at the Meijer stores today. I grabbed a Jefferson's Ocean aged for $67.

Some other prices: Blanton $55 & Bookers $70. Both sold out in Carmel though.

Bulleit bourbon has been my favorite lately. I was lucky enough to get two fifths for Christmas

You can tell someones age if they call them fifths. No offense meant I remember fifths myself.

I need another bottle of Heritage BSB 103! I think I got it from a little liquor store off Brookville road & I465 but maybe it came from 21st Amendment @ Fall Creek & 82nd (I have not seen it at any other 21st Amd) though.

Help me out INGO!

Ok this wasnt what i thought it was when i first replied. Im gonna make your day. I have a bottle of this that i opened and poured maybe an ounce out of. I hate it. Bottle is yours for free if you come get it

So what age group does that put us? Do millennials call them 750s or something?

Well I'm 64 soon to be 65 so I will leave it up to you to figure it out but I will say it has been quite some time that we went to the metric system for booze.

As I set here consuming a bottle of Bushmill's Red Bush...well I got nothing carry on.

I know they are 750 but I have always known as fifths and I am 40 not sure what the 21 year old people call them now I just assumed fifths.

I haven't seen Blanton's under $100 for years, when I've even seen it at all. And I've seen it marked as high as $250.

If you can find it for $55 a bottle, buy a case and sell it online.

Blanton is $60 at a local shop. He gets a case every month. It sells out pretty quickly.

I forgot to mention, last Friday was the 100th anniversary of the start of prohibition.

Just heard about this at the SHOT show.

The owners are some of the original 12 soldiers that went of the offensive days after 9/11. (Movie 12 Strong).

The mold for the bottles is made from steel from then Wolrd Trade Center. I know nothing else about it but thought I'd drop it in here with all you drinkers.

Interesting, I see it, I knew it had some veteran backing... I didn't know that detail about the mold. I'll have to check it out, they seem to have three varieties.

Been buying some Hotel Tango Distillery stuff lately, also veteran-owned

This is the same thread where everyone complains about not being able to buy products for MSRP, right?

I've only owned two bottles of Blanton's in my life, one second-hand.

I'm pretty salty about it.

I did find a source for Angel's Envy Rye, recently... wife is stocked up for the next couple years.

Yes, it's just like the .22 ammo shortage of a few years ago...

The only Blantons worth drinking is Blanton's Straight from the Barrel. Its anywhere from 125 to 140 proof depending on the barrel. Not sold in the U.S., they only ship it overseas to sell. Stupid.
You can get it. It runs $150 to $200.

I know a guy who has a impressive whiskey collection. I asked him how he did it. The secret he said was to buy a bottle drink 1/3 put it away and buy another and do the same repeat.
Tried it it works
