30ish a bottle:
Buffalo Trace
Old Forester
4 roses small batch
High west double rye
Larceny
Elijah craig small batch

And many more. Unless you're a poorfag, buy a couple and try them. There are many good to great bourbons in the 30 to 40 dollar range.

>>16798278
surprised to see small batch in that range, tf are they selling their big batch for

>>16798396
24 in the nor east

literally anything proofed at 90 or higher
bulleit is fucking water

>>16798268
OP, you've obviously not seen the whiskey value chart/pentagram.

>>16798278
Buffalo trace and Elijah small batch are 2 of the best bourbons I've had, high west is pretty good too but not enough that I wanted to buy it a second time.

>>16798268
Knob Creek.

>>16798268
Four Roses single barrel
1792 kentucky bourbon
Knob Creek
Wild Turkey
Tin Cup

Buffalo trace
elijah craig
larceny

>>16798268

4 Roses
Old Granddad
Maker's Mark

All much better than Bulleit. Very aesthetic bottle though, ngl

>>16800055
>1792
Based, some of the best whiskey, if not the best

>>16800055
>>16801544
I was going to buy 1792 full proof but somebody told me it sucked

>>16798268
Probably not best to start a thread with an unanswerable question. Prices aren't stable across regions. Post price, post price of competition (ie by linking to a store).
Here nothing is going to beat Bulleit at its price, unless you're going for something specific like a whisky and coke in which case maybe a spiced rum.

>>16802215
Yes, rum makes the best whiskey and coke

>>16802228
>best
I said it might be better than a bottom shelf bourbon.
>but it's not whisky
Beggars can't be choosers, you're not even getting real rum.

old crow but you sound far too effeminate to enjoy it

>>16798268
anyone here enjoy jim beam?
it's breddy gud. literally on the bottom shelf though

>>16801544
1792 is fine and all, but it's light years from the best whiskey.

>>16798268
OP Here, I sincerely thank you all for your suggestions. I am about to try Elijah Craig after seeing it in this thread and then in the store. i have never tried it before... Here we go!!!!

Liquor store employee here, what should I recommend people when we don't have Bulleit? We've been out of it a lot lately but I've never had the shit so I don't know what's similar.

>>16802732
>I don't know how to read a thread.

>>16802768
Scrolling up is for cowards.

>>16802715
It is... Not bad! Thank you very much for the suggestions! I will try more!

>>16798278
Add TX to this list, if you live near Texas

>>16802732
it's "high rye" allegedly so Elijah craig, even though EC blows Bulleit out of the water on all counts

>>16798601
satanism is wrong.
also your chart is for fags that like sweet booze.
bourbon is the lowest form of whiskey

>>16798268
Does it have to be bourbon or is whiskey also acceptable?
This distillary in Portland, "Burnside" makes incredible shit in the 30 to 40 dollar range. Its so good. Ive tried most of all of these mentioned here in this thread and Burnside is tastier hands down.

I was recommended another local brand here named Ghost Owl I will try to taste soon.

these two are p good

>>16802732
another liquor store employee here, tell them about buffalo trace and then tell them you dont have it because the distillery is stingy as fuck right now. Then recommend them angels envy or woodford reserve if theyre cheap

>>16803699
another good suggestion is four roses or even larceny

for me? it's Woodford Reserve. Though you definitely require stable income it's a great price point between luxury and excess at $30-$35

>>16803710
weller green is way better than woodford

>>16798268
1792

>>16798278
4 roses small batch and buffalo trace are both top tier imo, I know this isnt an exhaustive list but I really enjoy knob creek. rye is rye but I'm currently running through a bottle of knob creek rye making whiskey sours and they're fucking delicious.

>>16798268
Four Roses single barrel
Best bourbon I have drunk

>>16802715
not a huge fan of EC but it isn't bad. I see people posting four roses and it's no fucking joke. the big batch stuff is pretty one note but definitely tasty and it's a fucking steal at like $23.

>>16804029
Not all rye is on the same level. This stuff is gold, and priced about as much as its weight in gold. It is the first rye that really made me reconsider its potential.

>>16804320
Adding to this, their younger rye isn't NEARLY as good, but it's priced competitively with other ryes. The 10yo is seriously a different animal, and usually 10x the price as a result.

>for me, it's Kiesler's
even if you beggars could actually find some, you'd never be able to afford it

>>16804329
Is it still bourbon if it's made from an Austrian though?

>>16804033
I have a headache this morning from the Elijah Craig! I do not think it is high quality because of the way i feel. Will be trying Four Roses next

>>16804320
>Michter's rye is good
Try some Willett and get back to me. That Michter's is mouthwash in comparison.

Is there a price range choice guide for scotch whiskey much like the pentagram?

>>16804495
You've never had the 10yo.

Rebel or Heaven Hill
$9 a bottle

>>16803483
Sorry, man. Next time give me a heads up so I won't eat as many pineapples to make my cum sweet for you. I'll make sure to make it nice and bitter for you next time, fag.

>>16798268
holy shit how is it floating

>>16798268
Wild Turkey 101 or Knob Creek are both decent for around the same price or better in my area. Nothing wrong with Bulleit though, unless you just don't like a high rye mash, in which case you probably wouldn't care for the turkey either.

Basil haydens

>>16806086
You've never had Willett

>>16806258
Incorrect. Though I haven't had one of their $2k+/bottle iterations, I've had some that was priced similarly to Michter's 10yo, and Michter's 10yo was better.

>>16804549
this is popular around here, but not necessarily based around price although everything on the chart should be under $80 USD in 2021 with a couple exceptions being the Lagavulin 16 which can go up to $130-ish(if you have access to Costco its almost half that) and the Longrow(basically anything from Campbelltown has become Kuwaiti bullion in the Gulf War tier). the chart is more of a jumping off point because once you get a dozen or so bottles under your belt you should know your preferences and then price becomes less prominent unless ur an alkie or legit poorfag, no offense.

>>16798268
>What are some Bulliet Bourbon alternatives?

Gasoline & applesauce.

>>16806887
lol pretty funny but i still like it
