I’m assuming bourbon, these are pretty solid:I've been going between Basil Hayden's and Bulleit, just because I know I like then both. Anything else that's "good for the money" in the sub $40 range?
I’m assuming bourbon, these are pretty solid:
Elijah Craig small batch
Four Roses small batch or single barrel
Eagle Rare
Michters
Angel's EnvyOk. What's next a without the $40 limit. Been drinking mostly EC small batch.
Obvious choice would be EC barrel proof (MSRP $55), especially if you like that flavor profile.Ok. What's next a without the $40 limit. Been drinking mostly EC small batch.
Jefferson's has a few interesting varieties above 40. Basically, anything over 30 should typically be a solid good bourbon. Except this Town Branch I bought. It's fucking gross. I thought I'd had it before, so maybe just a bad bottle?Ok. What's next a without the $40 limit. Been drinking mostly EC small batch.
I only like rye but will drink bourbon and am beginning to dig scotch. I don’t know enough about it to recommend tho.
As far as rye goes I’m digging Hudson rye a bit. Bluebird rye for phoenixville Pa is very good. I’ve had basil Hayden’s port cask rye and didn’t like it too much. Bulliett isn’t one of my favorites but I liked knob creek. If you have money to spend peerless is very good. Dads hat is also pretty solid and not too expensive.
The Japanese are turning out some pretty respected stuff lately but I have yet to try it. They don’t seem to be doing rye.View attachment 127424
You slob. I can't believe there's a bowl AND a spoon in there.Just ignore the dishes my don’t GAF level is at a high.

Yeah that's some bad luck. One of the things I love about bourbon is that, unlike scotch, it's hard to find a bad one over 30 bucks. So it allows you to roll the dice and get something different more often.In the square bottle? I bought a bottle over the summer and thought the same. Do not recommend! This is why I asked for recommendations, this was my only random bourbon buy and a waste of $$.
