Wild Turkey 101 is another fantastic bourbon at a cheap price. Like wine, all bourbons are better after they open up a bit.

1)Blanton's 2)Four Roses Small Batch 3) Angel Envy 4)Basil Hayden........all great either " on ice or neat" Also,all under $60 here in Ct.

Try any of the Russell's Reserve Bourbons or Rye. They produce small batch and single barrel in both rye and bourbon.

Also, I second the Angel's Envy comments. Very good in bourbon and rye.

I live in Central Kentucky and most of the hard to find bourbons are impossible to find here.

Bang for the buck IMHO is Buffalo Trace.

I'm a big fan of Buffalo Trace as well, especially at around $25. Seems a lot of people are recommending E. H. Taylor and Angel's Envy, and I am right there with them. Both are great. I've also had a few glasses of Widow Jane and really enjoyed it.

Picked up a bottle Colonel E.H. Taylor's at Papadisco's recommendation. Really enjoyed it and had the best citrus notes in a bourbon I have ever personally sampled. At $39 US a bottle its a huge steal.

I like poor mans Pappy aka Weller 12. I can't get my hands on any of the real stuff here in Canada. Very few bottles are allotted and what does ends up being sold by a lottery. Evan Williams Single Barrel is excellent. At least the 2004 Vintage I had recently was and you really can't beat the price.

We cannot even find Weller 12 in the States either.

Blanton's (a great de-facto standard)

Woodford Reserve

Larceny (pairs great with many cubans, a bit sweet but at $27 a bottle it's worth a try)

George T Stagg (only one annual release...great If you can find it)

Stagg Jr (usually about 2 releases per year, becoming cult favorite, latest release at about 130 proof...also tough to find but rewarding)

I have been looking to try some wheaters. Weller is hard to get in my part of Canada. Is Makers Mark or the MM 46 any good? Also been looking to try Bernheim Straight Wheat it's available here but it's $65.

What are your favourite wheat bourbon?

I like regular MM, personally. I also really like the Weller Special Reserve, assuming you can't find the Weller 12 or Antique 107. Blanton's is still the best aside from Weller 12/107. Eagle Rare is great, but can be a little sweet depending on the barrel. I've heard great things about the Larceny and like that it clocks in at a little higher proof, but having Weller 12/107 around all the time I'm not that motivated to try it as I have 20- something other bottles open and didn't drink as much Bourbon this winter as usual.
