I got my annual $100 gift card from work and am thinking of treating myself to a bottle that’s more expensive than I normally get (or two $50 bottles).

What are the board’s recs for a splurge bottle?

My daily go-to’s are Makers and Woodford so I’m not usually looking at the top shelf.

Weller SR, Eagle Rare and EHT. Nothing on the shelves for $100 is worth it.

ETA: On a more serious note, Peerless Single Barrels are usually great in that price point, both Bourbon and Rye.

Aquitapace and Rouses both have Angel's Envy store picks at $90 I've heard great things about.

There's a lot of great options depending on your tastes. You mentioned Maker's, Martin has a great Private Selection right now that is around $70.

I picked up an old forester 1910 and a high west double rye a few days ago. Total at checkout was $94. Quality bottles IMO.

I recommend Barrell Vantage. It is delicious and right at your price point.

This is the way. AE store picks are legit, or you can grab an AE Rye. I personally highly advocate for the rye, especially given what you currently drink. You're going to love this one. They finish the rye in select rum barrels, and the rum rounds out the spiciness from rye to turn it into something sweet and decadent. I always get a strong maple flavor with this one along with the tropical notes from the rum.

Frankly, I'd go with a couple of $50 bottles over one $100 bottle.

These are some of my favorite in that price range (can be more or less depending on where you shop):

Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Old Forester 1910
Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
Knob Creek Single Barrel
Sagamore Spirit Double Oaked Rye
Wilderness Trail Single Barrel

Two bottles

Blade and Bow (~$80)
Evan Williams Single Barrel (~$28)

Neither are my regular but if you're looking for something different that is roughly 100, that's where I'm going today.

Thanks to all for suggestions... I have a few of these on my shelf already so maybe I'll grab a few of the others.

I did the same until I realized what that was. Thankfully TD allows us to change our votes

Maybe go to the thread from the other day where the guy was asking about a bourbon for $150. Several pages. Subtract $50 and move on.

Did you just learn how to curse or something? Weird seeing an old fart melt like this.

just go with both 1910 and 1920. will be a little over 100.
Both are the same mash just finished differently.
1910 is double oaked at 93proof and 1920 is 115.
