Best bourbon under $50?

[dusty88]

Add my vote for Breckenridge. It's under $40 at Costco.

Roughly $75/bottle but pretty darn awesome ... Jefferson's OCEAN WHEATED Bourbon. First wheated mash bill ever offered by Jefferson's and its ocean aged. Tried it tonight. Local liquor store bought the whole barrel, which translated into 15 cases. If anyone is passing though NW Indiana, stop into Lake Liquors and buy a bottle or three. Its on display at the front of the store.

Headed to Buffalo Trace early May.... hoping I can pick up some Blanton's Bourbon while I'm there (or in the area).

Bookers is always great bourbon. Never been disappointed.

I'm partial to Knob Creek in my mint juleps; the 100 proof strength stands up well.

Mint juleps to me have always been a waste of bourbon, just not a fan of them

Agree - just about anything but a cube or two of ice is a no-no for me, but...I really love a shot of bourbon then a beer!

For those who have done the bourbon trail in Kentucky, is there a max number of bottles you are legally allowed to bring back to Indiana. This would be for personal consumption or as a gift.

Another question. How are the prices at distilleries compared to liquor stores or places like Meijer or Kroger?

Being a noob bourbon drinker, I was thinking about this drink the other day. Are they any good? They sound like they might be good to make when you have company and you're not purist bourbon drinkers.

My concern would be that they are too sweet, but maybe not? Should I order one at a bar before I just make one? And what about a Manhattan?

And what does Don Draper drink in Madmen?

Canadian Club whisky.

I've never seen a 'sale' price or discounted price if that's what you mean. They usually offer specialty bottles or flavors justifying a higher price.

The only state I have ever had to watch out for for transportation is OH. Legally purchased items fine in this case. Shipping is where the issues occur that vary from states or companies.

Cool. Thanks
