Recommendations of Ella Boardman: Bartender. Wild Turkey is poop Maker's is fine Monkey Shoulder is good Knob Creek Rye or Bulliet Rye are excellent Jameson Black Barrel is very good...but it's a whiskey. Also Herradura has a Black Barrel aged in Whiskey barrels and it's amazing because tequila > bourbon And Don Julio 1942 is the best of all

You could just start smoking pot. Makers has always been my affordable bourbon of choice. Kardnal’s suggestion of Bullit is also great. If I’m being honest I have always been more of a scotch guy. A nice McCallin or a Glenlevit usually does me right with a cigar. Johnnie Walker is great too and I have had almost all of their production runs.

Now i know why we dont hang out

Yeah, I think Maker's Mark will be my first try. I definitely want to try some good scotch eventually too. I've been really enjoying building out a home bar.

Counter opinion that makers mark is also pretty bad, but being in the south kinda spoils me for choice, so try em all and go with your gut I guess. Oh, "STOLEN" products have a smoked rum and a smoke rye that can really take the place of a bourbon if you're looking for a pairing or a mixer. I have a bottle of STOLEN Smoked Rum in my pantry right next to my Bulleit for how interchangeable they are. Sure, can't replace bourbon but the smoked rum comes real close to it and for $18 a bottle you can't go wrong. And yes, the company is called STOLEN

Makers Mark 46 (or is it 48?) is real good.

Monkey shoulder is a good one, as is wild turkey, but personally I’d recommend makers mark.

Wild Turkey 101 is pretty good, not overly priced.

Wow, Some of these hit me the feels Glad to see you guys still going strong and seeing some friendly faces. @Maj Ray @Maj LaPrade @Maj Makowski #MajorGang Keep passing the torch!
