Budget Bourbon

[huzza3045]

I really enjoy good bourbon, but I also have a while until I make big boy bucks. What is the best bourbon you can think of for under 30 (but preferably under 25).

So far, I’ve had someone recommend Early Times Bottled in Bond and it was stellar. Any others come to mind?

Edit: I live in Kentucky, so whatever you think of is probably available at my local liquor store.

Old Forester. 86 or 100.
Wild Turkey 101 Rye. The Rye is really good. Not sure if they make it at regular strength.

Usually have a bottle of Maker's Mark on the shelf. Very good bourbon, reasonably priced.
