Any Weller is going to be good. Weller Antique (aged about 7 to 9 years) is one of the best values you can find. Colonel Tayler is great too. I know they have several varieties; can't remember which one I had, but I liked it a lot.

Elmer T. Lee is a bourbon I've started drinking recently. At my local Total Wine, ETL, along with Weller, Angels Envy, and Blantons, are bourbons they don't even keep on the shelf; you've got to ask if they've got any in the back, which its getting rarer and rarer that they do, lol.

Yes, I like the weller. Really good for the price. I also like Buffalo Trace for a budget friendly bourbon. Too bad you can't find Old Charter 10 anymore.

My favorites have been Basil Hayden's, Woodford, Eagle Rare - at least for bourbons that aren't TOO pricey.

The owner of a local package store recommended the Basil Hayden. I've enjoyed it although I'm not a big bourbon drinker.

EH Taylor is a Buffalo Trace product and is very good. Weller is a great wheated bourbon, but pretty sure they only make a 12 year old (hard to find) a special reserve and an antique.

That Basil Hayden is a Beam product.

I'm like two brands, Basil Hayden and Woodford Reserve. The last two bottles have been Bullet. Kind of liking it.
