Hey fellas, as a newbie, what are a few bourbons I should try (under say 100$/bottle)? Thanks in advance!

I've had:
Bulliet
Makers
Knob Creek
High West
Blantons
Jefferson Reserve (maybe my favorite)
Woodford
Michters (10yr)

4 roses single barrel is quintessential. Try the diff. Mashbills and don't forget Elijah Craig. Try to get a 12 year before it goes NAS.

Coater old scout 10yr is a very solid pour! Old scout has done some really nice bottles. There rye will be missed.

Eht single barrel is one I would get.

Benchmark is a good buy for the price.

Elmer T Lee if you can find it

Wild Turkey rare Breed- its Barrel Proof

Elijah Craig

Eagle Rare

Four Roses Small Batch

Makers Mark

should all be 39 bucks and under except maybe ETL will give you a good idea of what you like. Some are high rye and some are low rye with MM being a wheat bourbon. Some single barrel and small batch

What's the consensus on 1792? Just finished my Woodford Reserve last night and had Four Roses during the holidays.

Jefferson's Reserve vs. 1792 small batch?

Have yall seen EH Taylor on the shelves lately? I have been wanting to buy some more bottles, but I haven't seen it in probably a year. What's the deal?

Like others have said. I've only seen the Small Batch and Rye in BR. I did get this one today in Zachary.
