"If you're new to the whiskey world, you might not realize that, while there are myriad outrageously expensive, long-aged bourbons on the market, there is also a glut of inexpensive gems waiting to be discovered. You don't have to fork over the equivalent of a car payment to get your hands on a well-made, sippable bourbon. When it comes to price-to-value, you'd be amazed at the number of nuanced, complex bourbon whiskeys priced less than $30 for a 700 or 750ml bottle."
"Aged in accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, this high-rye bourbon spent a minimum of four years aging in a federally-bonded warehouse. Coming in at a potent 100 proof, this popular expression begins with a nose of vanilla beans, candied orange peels, cinnamon candy and rich oak. The palate is centered on notes of raisin, citrus peel, caramelized sugar and peppery rye."
Many excellent bourbons cost under $30 for a 700–750ml bottle, offering nuanced, complex flavors without paying premium prices. Renowned distilleries such as Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Old Forester, Elijah Craig and Wild Turkey produce affordable, sippable expressions suitable for neat drinking and whiskey cocktails. Old Grand-Dad Bonded is a high-rye bourbon aged at least four years under Bottled-in-Bond regulations, 100 proof, with aromas of vanilla, candied orange, cinnamon and oak and palate notes of raisin, citrus peel, caramelized sugar and rye spice. Knob Creek 9 is recommended as a standout purchase. Prices vary by retailer and location.
