thunderhead357 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I've been trying everything I can get my hands on and I've built myself a nice collection and now pretty much everything is just to save and my daily sippers are WT101 and OGD 114 I'm really wanting to try some good sub $20 that are really worth sipping I've seen people talking about heaven hill but I've never seen it in the store I've yet to try Even Williams black but at $14 a bottle seems decent any suggestions?

GerryM Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 OGD114 has jumped to $26 on these parts but I still love it. Staying strictly to the $20 limit I'd have to go with either OGD or EW BIB for $16-$17 bottle. Both solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycamm Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Almost any Straight Bourbon aged at least 4 years (except Rebel Yell) should be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCBreese Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I've gotten 4RYL for as low as $16, definitely my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Always depends on whats available in your area and of course your dealers pricing but I can still get these for under $20:AAA 10*EWBIBOGDBIB4RLBRITTBIBWT101And I might add they are also some of my favorites.

boneuphtoner Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Tons of good stuff at less than $20. My favorites for 750 mL sizes are:- Wild Turkey 101- Wild Turkey 81- Dant BIB and EW BIB - less than $13 here- Four Roses Yellow - the best 80 proofer out there for my money- Fighting Cock- Evan Williams 1783 (the standard Black label is good too)- Mellow Corn BIB- Old Forester 86 proof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjbeggs Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 My local store has Larceny at $19.99 right now, or $35.99 for 1.75.It's been getting poured quite often at my house.I tend to rotate between EC12, OGD114, and Larceny, but at the moment only Larceny meets the under $20 specification.

corpse_welder Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 By far OGDBiB and WT101. Fighting Cock is another favorite of mine, but it seems to have disappeared lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowes Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 When I want a sub $20 sipper I go to these two choices; OGD BIB, and Old Ezra 101. Just picked up a bottle of OGD last night actually, and will be my pour tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMartin42 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Very few of what I've seen listed is actually sub $20 in my parts. Around here for less than $20 I can usually get VOB bib and Fighting Cock, and hallelujah, EW BIB is now finally carried here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hop Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Another vote for Old Ezra 101. Hard to beat at twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcbt Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 BT and W12 are usually under 20 here, so those get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBadley Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 We have OGD114 around here for just over $20. Another I like is JB Black 8yo for around $18. Very good for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickSmithIsDead Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 OGD BIB and EW BIB. I especially like the OGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhead357 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 found EW BIB (white) looking forward to trying it tonight, 13.99 a bottle WT and OGD114 are both around 23 a bottlethat said I also picked up another OGD114 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrel800 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'm a big fan of EW Single Barrel. Unfortunately it's long gone, but AAA 10 yr was a great sub 20 sipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xevious Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) EW BIB is my "everyday" drink at just 12 bucks a bottle around here. I'd definitely recommend seeing if any of the Heaven Hill bonded bourbons are available in your area and give it a try.Edit: Just noticed you bought a bottle. Enjoy! Impossible bourbon to beat at that price. Edited December 10, 2014 by Xevious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooneygoogoo Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm a big fan of EW Single Barrel. Unfortunately it's long gone, but AAA 10 yr was a great sub 20 sipper.I was also going to mention EW single barrel. Local store has it at $19.98. That's pretty much the only sub $20 that I sip. Maybe fighting cock and VOB BIB but can't get the latter in GA. BT is close enough to $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Four Roses Yellow Label. Also, EC12, which I can get for $18.99 out the door on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadertime Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Around these parts, the best I can do in Bourbon for $20 is WT101 (adjusted from L to 750), EW BiB (at the 3 bottle price) and Costco 7 YO. JBB 6YO may also fit the criteria at the airport as well. In general Bourbon prices are the incline, but you can still find a few reasonable deals. Wish I could get 1.75s but the only one I have seen recently is JBW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amg Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I gotta go with HH6 BiB. $10.99 for a 750 but tastier than most in the $20 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

393foureyedfox Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 having vacationed in MI and driven south-north-south through the state, I have a ballpark idea of what you guys get and dont get. So, If I were living in your region, Ezra 101 would be my first pick, and Larceny the second. Im surprised to see all the Ezra 101 recommendations above, it seems to be rather obscure here.
