*Bourbon Connoisseurs* Best bourbon for around $20-$30 a bottle?

I've been looking to try some new good bourbons for everyday sipping. I always keep a bottle of good stuff for special occasions or company and a cheaper one for just after work. Up until recently, the cheaper stuff has always been Maker's or Jim Beam or Wild Turkey--stuff like that.
Recently, I've come across some wonderful, cheaper bourbons that I've really enjoyed, including Four Roses and Pure Kentucky XO. Both of those have been awesome and I've stopped buying the other stuff.
What are some others I should look to try out in that same price range?

Eagle Rare 10 year
Elmer T Lee
I've done some tasting notes on both of them in recent posts if you care to look them up. I used to drink Eagle Rare as my "everyday" bourbon more, but I've started drinking more Elmer T Lee. Elmer T Lee is a little harder to find, but well worth it when you do find it. You can't go wrong with either

That bottle reminded me of Jefferson's Bourbon. It is in that price range, and also pretty good.

I remember seeing Elmer T Lee the last time I went to the store and got the Four Roses. Salesman mentioned it to me.
Hadn't tried the Eagle Rare before either.

Those arent really cheap bourbons. Bourbon is fairly inexpensive to make, so there are not a whole lot of bourbons above that price range. You can buy dozens and dozens of great bourbons under $50
I am a big fan of anything out of the Buffalo Trace Distillery

another vote for eagle rare. This is an unbelievable Bourbon for the price.

Anything with whiskey mentions is like a bat symbol calling my name!
For the price of each of them, you'd do well getting one of each and see which one you like better. Everyone's palate is a little different. The Eagle Rare is a great bourbon especially for the price. The Elmer T Lee is almost a steal at the price.

Dickel White label if you can find is the best at any price. Normally around $20

Thanks for all the input, everybody. Looks like Eagle Rare will be the next pickup.

Evan Williams Single Barrel is really good for the price in my opinion. I think it's usually about 25 bucks.
