Good list. There is a whole lot of good bourbon there. Pick one or 3 and check them out.

Evan Williams is a Tough One to Beat at that Price Point..

Just Say’n ..

All good ones.

A person would be pretty drunk to try each of them in one sitting.

I'm not really a bourbon drinker, Even though I'm from Ky. But, Jim Beam usually gets good praise, and sometimes even Early Times.

Four Roses or Knob Creek. Surprised Woodford Reserve isn't on there.

I have a free bottle of Penelope on the way in a couple of weeks so hopefully that won't disappoint. If it does then I'll use it as a mixer.

If someone else bought it I would do it.

Me too

I know Jack Daniels isn’t a bourbon, but it goes down good. I heard they went Woke( stupid), so I’m not drinking it.

If you throw Tennessee whiskey in there, I would look at Uncle Nearest. My son gave me a bottle of their 1884 for Father's Day and it is good. Told him to upgrade and get me a bottle of their 1856 for Christmas.

I've never been a “real” bourbon/whiskey drinker. Jack Danial, Jim Beam, Black Velvet were drinks of my youth at parties or get togethers. As I have aged I'm finding out that there is more to good whiskey then my dumb ass younger days ever knew.

Eagle Rare, Knob Creek single barrel, Wild Turkey 101, Wild Turkey Rare Breed, JB Devil’s Cut are the ones I try to keep on hand.

My opinions:
Both of the Four Roses choices are very good - the single barrel is the better one. Planning to pick up another bottle next time I'm in the liquor store.
Old Forester 1897 Bottled-in-Bond is outstanding - have a bottle open, may have to go pour myself a little taste now that you've brought it up.

Redemtion High Rye The blue label one.
The black label is a little cheaper and not as smooth but still very good.

I concur with akrange about Evan Williams and with 1-3 from the list and I like Mitcher’s (19) a lot too. I would add Elijah Craig small batch to the list.

PRO TIP...

Crystal Meth is cheaper... and better than any store bought bourbon.

Old GrandDad bottled in bond is a pretty good pour, and reasonably priced as well.

Hunter Your Go’n Down Bitch ..

Four Roses single barrel is more like $65 in these parts, but a very good one in my opinion. Small batch is good as well.
