Best bourbon under $50?

[rkwhyte2]

I've got those too if you want to try them.
Well I dont have any full proof weller. I've got 107, and 107 single barrel. Weller reserve and weller 12.

Dude I'm gonna come down and drink with you one of these days you have quite the selection.

Tonight is a budget bunny bourbon battle! I think both of these are near $50/bottle. I'm still not sure which I like better or why.

Costco had some Blade and Bow for $38. That's one of my new favorites.

Picked a bottle of this at Costco also. It is rather tasty.

I've heard a lot of good stuff about CLYDE MAYS but had never tried it.

Picked up a bottle a couple weeks ago at Meijer for about $36. WOW its darn good stuff.

I picked up these two beauties in Greenwood last week. I've been slacking lately so I want to start stepping up my bourbon hunting game.

You can find both of those at kroger still if you hit them at the right time. Then only blantons I drink is straight from the barrel so I'll leave the regular if I see it, and I have a local store owner that offers it to me if I ever wanted it anyways.
The eagle rare I do really like. You just cant go wrong with eagle rare. I've got a good stock of it.
Congrats.

How do you get your hands on the Straight from the Barrel? I've got a buddy in Australia who's bottles of the Straight from the Barrel, Gold Edition, and Special Reserve for me. I'm just trying to figure out how to get home here. Have never seen any Blantons at Kroger, have seen the tag for Eagle Rare though however not in stock. Meijer seems to have a pretty respectable selection.

...I've got a buddy in Australia...

Hmmm... It's a long shot, but I'm looking for a bottle of ANY flavor Blanton's with the dump date of 5-6-2020, the day our first grandson was born.

I planned on getting such a bottle and putting it away until his 21st birthday. The problem is, after contacting the distillery, I was informed everything dumped that day went to Australia.

So if your buddy came across such a bottle, I'd be VERY interested in it.

I can ask him to keep an eye out. Unfortunately the bottles he bought for me and a friend were purchased before May 6th so it wouldn't be any of the ones he has.

You ever see this site? https://www.blantonsdumpdate.com/69-2/ I see 5-5-2020 and 5-7-2020 on the registry, but no 5-6.

Man, you guys sure know your bourbon!

Yep. Have it bookmarked.

I have found several bottles of 5-4 and 5-5, but the quest for a 5-6 continues.

I'm going to give a bad review of this bottle. Neat = yucky. A huge ice cube helped me finish the glass. Maybe in a mixed drink it would be ok because the blackberry was good. It tries to be a Blanton's but something about it fails miserably.

I've even seen blantons at walmart.
You have to have the sftb shipped into the country. They dont sell it in the U.S.
The gold they just started selling here this year. But its limited.

For a nice budget bourbon, try the new Benchmark iterations from Buffalo Trace. They have a bonded, a single barrel, a cask strength, and a “top floor.” I got the single barrel and it’s very good for $20-$25.

 

[jhparsons78]

Another vote for Buffalo Trace

I really enjoy the Carl T, but it’s a totally different animal from Michter’s or Eagle Rare.

New Riff fits into the sweet-smooth category if that’s the direction your tastes run.

Bottoms up!

 

[Ballstater98]

Anyone tried this? I've never even seen it in stores.

Costco Merriville had a couple cases of bardstown fusion #2/#3 over the weekend for 50/btl. Best deal you're likely to get on a bourbon right now. Not limited per customer so may be gone but FYI.
