I'm giving a few gifts out. What's your favorite bourbon around $30-35?

Eagle Rare. It is available in pretty much every liquor store in the country.

Check out Tin Cup. I think you can get a bottle for around $35.

Knob Creek is my go-to in that range.

Tim cup is very drinkable and smooth but it's just to thin for me. Not complex or woodsy I suppose. I love it when I'm gonna sit back and drink all day. But when I want to relax and just sip a good bourbon it doesn't cut it.

Weller 12 year, that's assuming it hasn't caught on wherever you live yet. It's as close as you're going to get to Pappy Van Winkle without being lucky or spending hundreds of dollars, and it's still pretty attainable in a lot of places.

Eagle Rare is good, I also really like Basil Hayden.

I'll get skewered for this but I'm still a makers mark guy. Bullit would also be a good choice.

Picked this up for $22 this weekend. All I could taste was the alcohol.

Knob creek, eagle rare, basil Hayden and bulliet.

Those are actually distilled, barreled and bottled by their companies.

This freaking matters.

FYI Tin Cup doesnt distill, age, or even have the ability to tell you where their whiskey comes from. They are a pretty bottle. Nothing else.
