Best Bourbon that doesn't break the bank?

Pros and cons of living in a dry county I suppose.

Man, I'm just eyeing those bottles of Cask 16. Best Crown ever made!

Absolutely! I must agree !

A friend brought this today from MN. This is out of this world! I have to see if my local Habersham County liquor store can get Red Locks Irish Whiskey. Has a subtle sweet taste that is great tasting!

Not a bourbon.

Correct, but wanted to mention.

I had Special Reserve, Antique and 12 year. The 12 year is the best bourbon I've ever tasted. Unfortunately it's crazy expensive. Only reason I got one was I used to be the receiver at Total Wine and could get first dibs at MSRP on some of the stuff that came in. I'd pay 100 for a bottle, but they go for 200+ unfortunately. All I am left with is memories! Had this picture pop up a month or so back from a few years ago when I could get the cool ****. I miss that kind of access!
Bowman Port Finished, Weller 12, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Elmer T Lee, Weller Antique, and Sazerac Rye. Pretty sure I had a Stagg Jr to the left of the picture as well. Oh how the mighty have fallen

Lol....it's a lot more fun being the buyer, isn't it? Now my free goods are limited to the 'samples' I can get.

Not bourbon. Good though!

Would like to know why you think it's not bourbon?

Jack Daniel’s is Tennessee Whiskey baby! Charcoal filtered, made in Tennessee whiskey! Bourbon isn’t filtered and can be made anywhere.

For a spirit to be considered Bourbon it must adhere to six standard rules:

1. It must be made in the U.S.
2. It must be aged in new, charred white oak barrels.
3. It must be at least 51 percent corn.
4. It must be distilled at less than 160 proof (80 percent alcohol by volume).
5. It must enter into a barrel at below 125 proof.
6. There can be no artificial coloring or flavor.

Bourbon can be filtered just fine. Technically Jack IS bourbon. Meets every single criteria.
