Best bourbon under $50?

[Teepee Creeper]

You do know distillery’s only barrel and blend.
The “base” food grade ethanol comes from moonshine factoriesie I.e.CentralIndiana Ethanol.
Everyday 16000 Gal is waiting for Suntory-Beam
at the off load area in Frankfort Ky. Say Knob Creek,
Bookers, and Hayden’s!

There are plenty of distilleries that still distill. Some even do it for competitors based on capacity. Some buy it already in bourbon form from MGP in Lawrenceburg.

Some do, some don't. Buffalo trace as an example distills their own. Some don't barrel or blend, they send the recipe they want made to a distiller who makes it, barrels, ages, then ships it to the company to bottle.

Yep,

Most of the big name RYE comes from Indiana.

Most of the big name BOURBON is distilled in Kentucky.

Trying to find the Lagavulin 11 year "Offerman Edition"

Not even sure when it's supposed to release, but seeing videos of people that have it. Please let me know if you spot it somewhere, haven't seen it at any liquor stores yet

 

[Mr. Habib]

I believe Big Red had that on their VIP sight a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if any made it to the shelves.

VERY OLD ST NICK Cask Strength Summer Rye is out ... get it while you can, most bigger stores are getting between 1 and 3 bottles! They have several fine offerings and any/all are worth buying! Bourbons and Ryes.

RARE PERFECTION 14 Year (100.7 proof) and RARE PERFECTION 15 Year (119.4 proof) have both hit the stores. If you can only buy 1 of those, opt for the 15 year, it is the better of the 2 choices. Both are "Canadian style whisky" but come from Bardstown, KY.

~$30 & liking this stuff a whole lot! 103 proof so not too sweet. Just the right brown sugar and cinnamon balance.

Haven't posted in here in awhile. I've been on a bourbon hiatus, it started giving me hangovers

I did recently add something to the bourbon cabinet that I'm pretty excited about, can anyone guess?

Not under $50 but the 2019 limited release of Yellowstone is awesome.

The Pappy?

Nice t-shirt...

 

[Bigtanker]

Do these count?

Macanudo "M" bourbon and a Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask. Both about $7

 

[Ndavid45]

Wild Turkey rare breed is good.

Yessir and thank you. The shirt is a commemorative for a friend who passed last year.

Ok, so, don't laugh. But this stuff doesn't suck...

At $30 a bottle, it's at least worth having around for any company you might have that don't adequately appreciate the good stuff.

It shouldn't! Because Kirkland actually uses big-name distilleries for their products. Their Vodka is pretty much Grey Goose, Bourbon is made by Jim Beam (who obviously makes a lot of different bourbons), Scotch by Alexander Murray and Macallan, etc.

 

[ghuns]

...Bourbon is made by Jim Beam...

I came up with George Dickel as the maker in my limited googling after the wife brought it home.

And the bottle does say distilled and bottled in Tennessee.

I found afew of them. Stocked up.
Still haven't found a pappy for retail or even close to reasonable.

Phylodog congrats on the pappy! That cabinet looks sweet! Love the personalized barrel on top too.

OK, I have to ask...what's the deal with the slingshot in the cabinet?

And does it have any relation to the broken glass in the cabinet door?

 

[phylodog]

It was my Grandfather's, IIRC he made it when he was a kid and he was good with it. The bourbon cabinet is really the only place in the house I have to display anything and even it is in the laundry room lol. I know it won't get broken or misplaced in the cabinet plus it's nice to think of him every time I open it (even though Grandma wouldn't let him drink ).
