Buffalo Trace for sure. Worth spending the extra $10 for Elmer T. Lee though.

If you are doing or so.... This is about as tasty as it gets for that price range. Pour over ice and enjoy.

If said whiskey is mixed with soda, Kirkland brand for right under $20/1.75L is a steal.

Everyone seems to be erring on the 20+. I'm going to go the other direction and recommend some -20 quality bourbons. Maybe I can just drink rock gut and have the palate or a hillbilly, but I find the following truly budget bourbons to be enjoyable:

Old Grand Dad 80
Evan Williams
Evan Williams 1783
Fighting Cock 103.

I'll drink any of the above with a mixer (Kentucky Mule) or with a cube of ice, and all are below 20 bucks for a fifth.
