Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Anybody have any at a moderate price point? I wish to graduate from the consumer grade $ 15-30 stuff into maybe a $50-60 price point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I like Bulleit, they have several variations and Rye Whisky as well, Tin Cup is pretty good, my fussiest friend likes it well enough. Everyday, Jim Beam has been my standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I’ll throw in a vote for Bulleit as well. My usual is Evan Williams black label but they’ve recently come out with a white label “Bottled in Bond” version that’s pretty dang tasty. .

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm a big fan of Henry McKenna Sour Mash Bourbon. If I can find a bottle, I intend to try their single barrel 10 year bourbon. The single barrel won a competition a couple of years ago, and you can't hardly find it now. I also agree with Bulleit Rye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORNERY OAF Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Horse Soldier is a fantastic bourbon in that price range. For a little more, get the silver barrel strength bottle, as good as it gets and it's 120ish proof so sipping straight or on ice is about the best I've tried. A get together of my old marine unit, we had this and a bottle of pappy. No kidding, most(including me) preferred the silver label Horse Soldier.i bought it for the fantastic true story behind it, but the taste and smoothness won everyone over.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 When I drank liquor my favorite bourbon was Jim Beam Black. Had some Jack Daniels that was good once, I think it was Gentleman Jack (and yes I know it's not bourbon but tastes like it to me). By and large I'm too cheap to buy expensive stuff.

I've had a sample of one of their older ones, even better, I think I deliberately forgot which because there are limits to what I'll spend in pursuit of my vices.

J-BAR #18287 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I cannot honestly recommend Willets because I have never tasted it. But a bottle shaped like a still is intriguing. Have any of you tasted this? Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I am always a little suspicious of fancy bottles. Prefer they spend on the contents. I'm sure Willet is a good one, heard of it, but I passed on another that the liquor store recommended because the bottle was very fancy, a sort of odd ellipse. Can't recall the name but a known one.
