What bourbons under $50 do you recommend?

[JCBBQ]

I’m so tired of paying $50, $80 for bourbon I like. Forget about Blanton’s that used to be my go to at $59 even up to $79 but now it’s like $140. Forget it!!

I’ve started branching out based on y’all’s recommendations. But what’s your recommendation under $50?

I’ve had this once before and at $30 I think it’s great.

[Starsky]

I like Four Roses small batch. Around $35 by me in illinois

[JCBBQ]

Yep. That’s a good one and also under $50 by me. Thanks

[Skinsfan1311]

There's a ton of great whiskey for under $50.00. Here's are the one's that I like:
Grandad Bottled-in-Bond
Wild Turkey 101 bourbon or rye
Makers 101
Maker's 46
Old Forester 100, bourbon or rye
Jack Daniel's bonded, bourbon or rye
Very Old Barton 100, (the 90 is good too)
1792 Single Barrel
Evan Williams Black
Evan Williams bottled in bond
Evan Williams 1783
Jim Beam Black 7 year
Knob Creek 9 year
Rittenhouse Rye
Old Overholt rye
Bowman Brother's Small Batch

There are a lot more.....

[JCBBQ]

Thanks. Like the first 4. Old Forrester is over $50 near me. I’ve got to find that JD Bonded. Heard good things. Don’t like Barton. Don’t know 1792 - will look for it. Guess I need to try the Even Williamses. Thanks. Jim beam black I’ve never seen. Thanks I’ll look for it. Yeah…I forgot about knob creek 👍. Love Rittenhouse. Don’t like overholt. Never seen bowman bros. Will try to find. Great list!!! Thank you.

JCBBQ Are you sure about the price on the Old Forester? The 100? That can't be right. Maybe you're confusing it with the OF1897 BiB, which is also 100 proof & costs anywhere between $50.00-$60.00(and not worth the $$). OF100 should cost less than $30.00. It's one of their cheapest bottles.

[JCBBQ]

Skinsfan1311 oh. Ok you might be right. I’ll check.

[Murdy]

Maker's Mark 46 is my go-to unless I'm splurging (which, as I don't drink much these days, I'm more prone to doing). I also really like Knob Creek 9 year.

[Purc]

+1 on Makers Mark 46 around $34.

Check out Costco, the kids get their branded whiskey they say tastes exactly like Crown Royal. I also heard that their brand vodka is from Gey Goose. We buy the Costco vodka and it's very good. I don't know what specific whiskeys they have.

[JCBBQ]

Huh! I’ll have to give them another try. I’ve only looked at Costco booze a couple times and thought their offerings were pretty meager so haven’t gone back.

[Santamarina]

One of the very few things I miss since moving to TN last summer is booze at Costco!

What I now spend on a fifth at the liquor store is what I could buy a handle for at Costco.

[JCBBQ]

Dang. Good to know.

[Johnny Booth]

Bulleit makes pretty good whiskey. Readily available.

[JCBBQ]

Yeah, haven’t bought it in years. Will revisit. Thanks.

[DennyWoo]

Elijah Craig and Old Forester 100. I just picked up a couple bottles of the OF 100 on sale for $20.

[JCBBQ]

Like em both but both over $50 near me.

[DennyWoo]

Wow, that is unfortunate. Where I'm at, the EJ is about $35 if not on sale, and the OF 100 is about $27 regularly. I wonder why there is such a difference for your area.

[MarkN]

Elijah Craig is under $50 at my nearby Costco. That's what I drink.

[Jfrosty27]

Woodford Reserve. Very yummy

[JCBBQ]

Yeah. You’re right. My family Oatways buys that so I never do bc that’s what they always give me when I visit. I’ll revisit. Thanks.

[Huskee]

Buffalo Trace
Wild Turkey 101
Woodinville
Four Roses Small Batch
Elijah Craig
E. H. Taylor (retails for $45 at the distillery gift shop, although essentially impossible to find for that anywhere else)
Woodford Reserve

There are many more but you get the idea.

[JCBBQ]

Good list. I don’t know EH Taylor. I’ll have to track it down. Thanks.

[Purc]

Woodford Reserve Double Oak, Makers Mark 46, 1792, Buffalo Trace

[klflowers]

Michter’s Small Batch is very good. Also Breckenridge is good, but the only place I can find it around here is the Total Wine in Kennesaw, GA. I usually pick up a bottle when I go visit my sister in GA.

[JCBBQ]

Never seen Breckinridge. Will try to track it down. Thanks.

[luvthemstillers]

Wild Turkey 101 Makers Mark
Maker's 46
Old Forester Stright Rye or Bourbon
Evan Williams bottled in bond
Knob Creek 9 year
Old Grand Dad Bonded
Four Roses Small Batch
Elijah Craig
Buffalo Trace

[JCBBQ]

Excellent. Thank you.

[Alan Brice]

All these are great! Beam White label, Bottled in Bond 100 proof. Low price very nice.

[Zman23]

Larceny, Benchmark Full Proof, Old Grandad BIB, and not bourbon, but Rittenhouse is always in my cabinet

[JCBBQ]

Thanks

[cruiseplanner1]

I have some nice bottles but my normal go to is bottom shelf Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. I just like that the best. Kind of like pizza though everyone has their own taste.
