        Any suggestions? I tend to shy away because of how expensive they can be.

          Plenty of good cheap bourbon out there:

          Cheapest, but very drinkable:

          • Evan Williams
          • Very Old Barton

          A little more expensive, but amazing:

          • Buffalo Trace
          • Four Roses
          • Basil Hayden
          • 1792
        • ryathal

          About $40-$100 is the sweet spot.

          • Woodford reserve
          • high West
          • old Forester 1870, 1910, 1920
          • angels envy

      Also, an ice cube or splash of water opens up the bourbon and improves the flavor. There’s nothing uncouth about having your alcohol the way it tastes best.
