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.

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.
