What bourbon?

[Christopher The Great]

I'm gonna pick up a nice bottle of bourbon soon, around $30-$40 a fifth. I normally just buy Beam, but I want something nice for every now and then. What would you all suggest in this price range?

[GolfNut]

Since you like the Beam Family already, may I suggest Knob Creek or Bakers. Both small batch Bourbons from the Beam family and are excellent.

[Christopher The Great]

I have tried Knob Creek once and it was good, I may have to try it.

There are several in that price range that I would try...(in my preferred order):
Eagle Rare
Buffalo Trace
1792
Bulleit
Knob Creek

If you realy want some good burbon for the money buy some Basil Hayden

I'm currently drinking Woodford Reserve.. I've tried it rocks and with a little water..

Both good.. Not great.. I don't think I get my socks knocked off after drinking so much scotch..

I would choose rum over bourbon.. Its just me..

I've now heard several recomendations for Eagle Rare, Knob Creek, and 1792. So depending on what my store has, and what looks good when I'm in there I think it will be one of those. Thanks for the ideas!

I would go with Eagle Rare or Booker's

Everyone named some good choices. You will not be disappointed with any.

You can't go wrong with Beam Black label,has a little sweet after taste and really smooth,great with cigars!Plus the price is right on this .

I've had Beam Black before so I wanted something different. I'm thinking Eagle Rare now, just need to find a store that carries it. I can't find hardly any decent alcohol in this college town lol.

Any updates on the bourbon search? I go with Woodford's when I want something a step up form the norm.
