What is a good bourbon to start with?

I just started bourbon like 6 months ago (friend got me in to it) I would start with Buffalo Trace. One of the best cheap ones around. They are impossible to find out here in PA.

Drink that bottle and get used to the taste. Try it neat and then with ice. Huge difference. My favorite is angles envy but I am currently doing Elijah Craig which I like.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2624216149.jpg

Trying to find something not too expensive in the $30 range that can actually be somewhat readily bought a i stop drinking on my hard to find stuff so much. Went to the store tonight and picked up some Russels 10 yr.

Tried Basil Hayedens in this price range last time and it was fine.

If I could find Buffalo Trace in the $30s, I'ld be all over that all day. Where we are, if you can find it, it's $50+. Still worth it, but not necessarily an every day whiskey. I can get a 1.75 handle of Elijah Craig for $38...that's more doable.

Weller SR - Weller Special Reserve - the cheapest and shortest aged Weller wheated bourbon at 90 proof.

Thanks guys. My local shop has really stepped up their beer game lately, and I thought I'd check to see if that was the case with spirits as well.

They didn't have any of those bottles y'all mentioned, though. lol The guy knew all about them, just said they don't carry them.

Had a dental school buddy send me a bakers dozen Cuban cigars so I sparked one up with a glass of Glenmorangie nectar d”or.

After the shit show that was today it’s a nice evening

Looks like Weller 12 dropped in KC today. When I get back in town, I will get to looking around a bit.

it's easy to love Bourbon living here!

It’s cheap ass whiskey but I swear by Jesse James bourbon if you’re looking for a mixed drink whiskey.

Speaking of Louisville and bourbon, is the Haymarket still open? The rape allegation came out right before we moved out of there.
