>no Old Grand-dad

Seriously one of the better bourbons for less than $40.

The 80 proof is acceptable, dry, spicy and not sickly sweet like many cheap bourbons.

The 100 proof BIB is legitimately great.

The 114 is a bit too strong without letting it sit in ice and melt a bit, but great if you want a strong bottle of bourbon for not much money that doesn't taste like sweetened paint thinner - a 750ml bottle can be had for $24.

For a while it was impossible to find, at least in Houston, but now it's popping up like crazy and the bottles have changed. It's also $3-5 more expensive, which I dislike, of course, but it still tastes just as good, so I'm glad they didn't rape the mash-bill, all the rye is still in it.
