          Plenty of good cheap bourbon out there:

          Cheapest, but very drinkable:

          • Evan Williams
          • Very Old Barton

          A little more expensive, but amazing:

          • Buffalo Trace
          • Four Roses
          • Basil Hayden
          • 1792

            What @Skanky@lemmy.world recommended is a good starter collection. Figure out your pallette preferences. Basically avoid the big name labels like Makers (same rule as for beer). If you have a Costco membership, you can get a good price.

      Also, an ice cube or splash of water opens up the bourbon and improves the flavor. There’s nothing uncouth about having your alcohol the way it tastes best.
