"If you're worried about not having the budget to get a good bourbon, you shouldn't be. There are many affordable bourbons out there that you'll actually want to drink. More important than how much you spend is the thought that goes behind your choices. Making such a choice can be difficult if you don't have extensive knowledge of bourbon. As you'll see, there are only a few bits of information you need to make an informed decision."
"It's hard to go wrong with buying bourbon. However, if you just pick any bottle that looks good, you may get a bourbon (or brand) that they don't like. At worst, you may even buy the wrong type of spirit entirely. Jack Daniel's is a common example of this. People buy it because of the huge brand name, but Jack Daniel's doesn't even market itself as bourbon, and a whiskey lover would likely have much more nuanced tastes anyway."
Affordable bourbons can be satisfying, so budget should not prevent buying a good bottle. Thoughtful selection matters more than price, and only a few key facts are needed to make an informed choice. Even among lower-priced whiskeys, varied flavor profiles allow matching bottles to recipient tastes. Choosing a bottle solely on appearance risks buying an unwanted brand or an entirely different spirit. Jack Daniel's illustrates a potential mismatch because it is widely purchased by name yet is not marketed as bourbon. Buyers should double-check whiskey type and origin to ensure recipient preference is met.
