Best bourbon under $50?

[ArcadiaGP]

Having one last glass of Blanton's before starting Sober October.

See you on the other side.

Hit a liquor store in Russelville, KY over the weekend for some Buffalo Trace and they had a half gallon of Weller's Special Reserve. They wanted $80 for it . Then she tell me they have some Elmer T Lee so I asked what it was going for and she said about the same as the Weller's. I left with nothing but my beloved bottle of Buffalo Trace.

I would have paid it. I cant find weller anywhere

It has been a few years since Blantons was near $50. $59 a couple years ago.

Blanton's has been in the $65 to $69 range lately.

What did you pay?

$10 more. Impulse buy. Gets me every time. But at least I have a bottle.

What is "sober October"? I thought it was "Octobeard"? Or is it Novembeard? Either way I quit shaving as of today. Maybe I am premature and should not drink this month. But wait, I'm heading down to Swampers for a drink with a co-worker in few minutes.

I think you’re ok to consume this month. I mean OKTOBERFEST! Come on!

As far as shaving, it’s No-Shave November. Unless you are in some sort of competition that starts clean-shAven to beard over the 30 days of November - suit yourself!

How about a $1500 bottle of Woodford Reserve?

Probably not that bottle but I’m sitting in a bar in Florence Alabama drinking a Woodford right now.

Pass, but if we set up a GoFundMe..,

YESSIREE ... that is the answer. Makers Mark is THE bourbon by which all others are judged for both flavor and value.

Either Makers Mark or Larceny.

Not a bourbon expert, but I've worked my way past Jack Daniels (not a bourbon), through Maker's Mark, and Woodford Reserve, and my favorite so far is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked @ $49.95.

Old Grand Dad bottled in bond. Spicy on the tongue with a bit of a burn. Overall a nice sippin whiskey.

I've had the hankering for some OG BIB lately, it's what got me into bourbon, I always liked it

Might get into some Belle Meade tonight, got a couple different bottles finished in different casks...or some Bookers....or something else.

Not sure yet

This week I've been working my way through the Jefferson's Experimental Collection. 5 different 200ml bottles, same juice in each, but each was aged differently, in barrels with different types of char, different staves added to some, etc. Interesting.

Technically JD is a bourbon. It meets the legal definition. But the folks from Tennessee call their bourbon Tennessee Whiskey. They add 1 filtering step that most bourbon producers don't do. They even passed a law proclaiming that their stuff is Tennessee Whiskey. They claim the extra filtering makes their Tennessee Whiskey not a bourbon. But by legal definition it is, in fact, bourbon. Perhaps it is both bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey. But its still technically bourbon.

FWIW, George Dickle Tennessee Whiskey is also bourbon. Some is pretty good stuff too.

new to the thread, newish to bouron, but I have been experimented a bit for the past 4-5 years with bourbons and scotches. I would have to say my favorite <$50 bourbon would have to be either Angel's Envy or anything I've never tried.

Old Ezra Barrel Strength Could be Your Next House Bourbon Bargain
