What's the best bourbon you can buy, where you are, for $10 or less? $20 or less? $30 or less? $40 or less? $50 or less?
Don't forget to tell us where you are.
750 ml bottle, price on the shelf (exclusive of added taxes).
If you want to do it for ryes too, be my guest.
I'm in Lexington, KY. Here's my list:
$10 or less - Heaven Hill BIB White Label ($9.29)
$20 or less - OWA ($19.79)
$30 or less - Weller 12 ($24.99)
$40 or less - Knob Creek Single Barrel (about $35, I think)
$50 or less - Blanton's ($49.99)
In Glendale, AZ -
Under $10: Evan Williams Black -- $9.99 ($14.49 for a handle)
Under $20: OWA -- $18.99
Under $30: Knob Creek -- $27.99 (but OGD 114 at $21.99 and BT at $22.99 get honorable mention)
Under $40: 4RSmB was about $32 I believe, but is on sale for $29.99 right now so I may be 'cheating' on that.
Under $50: ORVW 107 -- $44.99 (though overpriced, imo)
I prefer the $20-$30 range thus far. Seems to be the point of diminishing returns, for my tastes. I haven't had any BTAC yet though (among others), so I still have some learnin' to do.
Currently residing in a small University town in NE Mississippi.
$10 or less - 86 proof Barton (case discount, of course)
$20 or less - 100 proof Old Grand Dad (actually less than $15 with a case discount).
I can't say what I might choose in the other price ranges because I see no reason to pay more than $15.00.
I'm in Ohio, but I buy most of my bottles in KY or IN..
$10- Heaven Hill BIB 6yr... $9.99
$20- OWA TPS SB... $18.90 when you buy a case//// Mellow Corn.. $19.69 for the family size
$30- FRSB TPS... $28.50 when you buy a case////Ritt BIB $21.99
$40- ORVW 107... $39.99
$50- any of the many FRSB private barreling I've had from TPS or Kahn's.... $49.99
Of course there are many others, especially in the $30 or less price point, that I really enjoy and drink regularly. The ones listed are my favorite
In Chicago
$10 or less - I don't think I've ever bought a $10 or less 750ml bottle in Chicago. Very Old Barton 90 is probably the closest.
$20 or less - Larceny (does it still count if I only know of one place where its under $20?)
$30 or less - Weller 12
$40 or less - Four Roses Single Barrel
$50 or less - Rock Hill Farms
In Chicago...
<$10: Benchmark Old Number 8 ($9.99)
$10.01-$20: shhh...* ($13.99)
$20.01-$30: Knob Creek ($29.99)
$30.01-$40: WTRB ($39.99)
$40.01-$50: WTKS ($49.99)
*VOB BIB
In the Quad Cities
Under $10-HH BIB Blk/Gld Lbl. $9.99
Under $20-OGD 114 $18.99 on sale,I always stock up at that price!:grin:

Under $40-ORVW 10 107 $35.98 lowest price I saw this year,yes it sucks!
Under $50-Binny's FRSB OBSK and the last RHF I had as well at $45.99 thrown in for good luck!
Houston:
$10 - Barton
$20 - Buffalo Trace (19)
$30 - OGD 114 or EWSB or maybe OWA (21, 27, 25)
$40 - Elmer T. Lee ...hands down (33)
$50 - Jefferson's Reserve is the only under 50 over 40 I've had in a while. I'm sure there are many I haven't tried.
You guys that posted the Old Rip 10 - can you get that pretty regularly? Haven't seen it around here in a few years.
I'd buy it by the case!Quote:
