Best Bourbon that doesn't break the bank?

[spar1790]

I'm a big Weller fan. The 107 is one of the better bourbons I've ever had. I really enjoy the eagle rare and McKenna 10 as well. Bookers is excellent but more than I want to spend when something like wild turkey rare breed is half the price. Larceny is also an excellent budget bourbon. Angels envy is on my short list. I bought all three of the buffalo trace white dogs but I don't see myself ever trying them. I've tried to like scotch but feel like I waste my money every time I buy a bottle I don't like. I'll stick with Bourbon.

It’s 80 proof and all the 90 proofers will diss it but it is very good.

I like stuff in the 80 proof range quite a bit. I have noticed that reviews definitely don't favor anything this light in alcohol. I'm glad I figured out I liked it before I learned from the critics I'm not supposed to like it.

Nice stash... I like Bulleit Rye for Manhattans!

Try Bushmills. It's smooth and I enjoy it.

That should have copied about Irish Whiskey.

Haven't tried one with a rye but hear that's where they shine.

Try Black Bush (whiskey)

Real Manhattans are made with rye -or at least a high rye bill bourbon

Just like real Martinis are made with gin.

And real Manhattans should be served neat in a Martini glass.

On the rocks in a highball glass just waters it down, dilutes the flavors.

Buffalo Trace white dog is really good. I'm on my second bottle already. Knob Creek is probably my favorite all around bourbon. If you look hard enough sometimes you can find it for less than $30
