Easily found, and good: Dickel 12, Dickel Rye, Jefferson Reserve, Granddads B.I.B., Henry McKenna 10 year, Four Roses, Elijah Craig.
Man, I've only seen one of those (Buffalo Trace) in a store anywhere close to me for under $30, and that was a while ago. Most I don't see at all. But dude, if you see them at that price, rock out.

There are lots of good options but price varies a ton state to state. What I can get in Chattanooga for $30 is way, way different than what I can get in Atlanta or even Knoxville for the same price.

That said, I'd look at any of these in addition to the ones that Beardo mentioned (all of which are great options): Wild Turkey 101, Knob Creek, Knob Creek Rye, Maker's Mark, Larceny, Evan Williams Single Barrel, and Russell's Reserve 10 year. There are probably many others that I'm forgetting, too.
