Angel's Envy Triple Oaked is right at $60 here and its spectacular.
Eagle Rare fits your price and it's my one of my favorites.
Heaven Hill
Four Roses Single Barrel
Russell's 10yr is close
Peerless Small Batch is very good.

Not bourbon but Traveler Whiskey is very, very good for the money.

I see a lot of hate for it, but I had no issue with the one bottle I bought. if we are talking non-bourbons, Michter's American Whiskey(Not new oak barrels) is really, really good.

I love 101. I'll have to try the Rye 101.
I love Michters Rye, and wasn't crazy about Still Austin Rye. Like their bourbon though.

NOLA market gets it from time to time. Admittedly the hype has made it harder to find lately. Still easier to get than any non SR Weller.

I got some of the Bardstown Wheated. I’ve only taken a couple pours. It’s solid but a little boring.

I literally have a gallon of Weller SR that I got traveling through another state. I hate they way the stores in Louisiana and distributors are treating people in Louisiana with regards to the allocated bourbon. It’s bullshite buy my store pick and that gets you a ticket into a raffle for the right to purchase allocated bourbon.. to hell with that.. I love the Weller full proof but to be honest the old emmer finest wheat at total wine is better than Weller SR

Was recently in Hochatown Oklahoma and checked a local liquor store, there was a whole shelf of Weller SR. Liter bottles too. All at very close to MSRP.

Those are over $80, no? But speaking of, the Blue is one of my favorites from the last few years.

I like this one quite a bit, the price only makes it more enjoyable. After having tried several other brands of rye, there's not enough difference to me to offset the price difference.
