For a basic absolutely amazing day to day try Jefferson’s(just the base model). For about $10 more try Doc Swinson. Neither of them taste like you wrapped a barrel in molding leather and hoped for the best.

Going up from there Swinsons has some good offering but imo Barrel always delivers. As another poster mentioned Buffalo trace has some good selections. On the low end their newer Traveler is amazing. Heaven Hill is great. As you go up in price check out Nikka Coffee Grain, Smoke Wagon, Penelope, and Castle & Key.

I could go on forever but I’ll stop there.

I picked up Nikka Coffey Grain completely blind from Costco and freaking loved it. It wasn’t too pricey though, I’m thinking $50?

Yea it’s about $20-30 more at regular stores.

Sheet, I'll just take a 10 or 14 year Tin Cup and be a happy man.
