Best bourbon under $50?

Me three. Pappy is definitely on my list.

Currently on my shelf is Bulleit, Knob Creek, Old Forester Original batch, and Scotch. I would highly recommend Old Forester, my bottle was a little over $50 but it is very smooth and a great bourbon to have straight. Bulleit is my go to mixing bourbon that can also be served neat. Monkey Shoulder Scotch is also a good option if you like lightly smoked scotches.

I had to test out the ice globe molds that Amazon delivered yesterday. They did not disappoint. I bought two molds so of course I had to make sure both of them worked, my bottle is unfortunately less full than it was when I got up this morning.

Glad to see this thread continues.

Honestly have not purchased a bottle under $50 in quite some time. Well that is a lie, I bought 2 bottles at $49.95 each, but they are 325ml bottles so if they were full size they'd be just under $100 each. Last week picked up a couple, Kentucky Owl Rye @ $150 and Nikka 17 year at $199. Neither are as good as Jefferson Ocean CASK STRENGTH Voyage 10, which is about $120 and probably the best bourbon I've ever tasted.

The wife and I took a short trip up to Three Oaks Michigan Saturday evening. We toured Journeyman Distillery | It is well worth your time to check it out.

Woodford and Maker's Mark. I'm pretty sure Maker's is under $50.

Correction on the price I previously quoted for Jefferson's OCEAN Cask Strength ... its $99. Well worth that price.

While I would love to tour the distillery, I have to say that Journeyman's "Featherbone Bourbon" was probably the worst bourbon I've ever let slip past my lips and should be reserved to be served only for special visits by unwanted houseguests like your mother-in-law or perhaps tax collectors.

Makers Mark is well under $30 and probably the most solid bourbon available.

Nice haul! Happy birthday

I went shopping yesterday. I was told that the Jim Beam Black Extra Aged was Bookers which has water added to bring it down to 86 proof. I just finished a bottle of Booker's a few days ago so we'll see, for $20 it's worth a shot.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone

Just kidding. I was offered free tickets by a vendor friend, but once I found out it was the same weekend as the Valpo Show that I committed to going with Dad, I had to decline the tickets. Figures there would be a conflict.

Winchesters, Colts, and Bourbon. An American combination.

I'm not sure calling that just bourbon is appropriate Leadeye, I mean you didn't call the Colt and Winchester just guns.

Sorry, just some jealousy coming out...

A story behind that bottle. I used to hunt with friends on whose ground we hunted and deer camp adult beverages were a tradition. When I bought my own woods that tradition continued and they left stands here to hunt out of. I bought that bottle for the coming season back before that bourbon became scarce, but tragically both friends passed away before we got a chance to open it. It set on a shelf for a long time but I think that's not what they would have wanted to see done so I drink some each deer season. I don't hunt out of the stands they left or in that area of the woods, might seem stupid to some, but I see it differently.
