I like Eagles Rare, Buffalo Trace is good too. James Pepper 1776 on that list as well. Someone I know puts out a small batch, Breckenridge that's been a hit if they sell it where you are. One of my co-workers put me on to Sam Houston which I find comparable in taste to a Makers Mark, but it's only around $20 a bottle.

I prefer scotch to bourbon though so my opinion ain't 100% trustworthy.

I didn't realize it extended beyond Van Winkle. I feel like they saw the frenzy over the supposed robbery, and applied the same move with their other premium bottles (not that they see a cut). There's a Hasidic shop by me that has a supply of all the Pappy's, he's selling Old Rip 10yr for $350 and the 23yr for $1800...and said he's had buyers.
For a cocktail- The best quality inexpensive Bourbon that I like, and originated by the fine folks who brought you Pappy, good old Rebel Yell, or even Rebel Reserve. http://rebelyellbourbon.com/ It's my utility wheated Bourbon, I never don't have some in a decanter next to my good shit. It may not be as complex as Makers (which I don't like to mix with) or the 12 yr Pap, but it's perfect for mixing.

Affordable and damn good.
We cracked open a bottle on Friday with a few friends…there might be a couple shots left at the most.
Also got our usual gift of Angel's Envy for the holidays. I guess you can't technically call it bourbon since it's aged in port wine/rum (for the rye) barrels, but it's always a hit at our place. I think I heard it was marketed towards female drinkers, but I'm never turning that stuff down if it's offered up neat.
Of course Woodford is always worth bringing. Low-key, that might be what I'd choose to sip if I could only have one bourbon for the rest of my life. The texture is fucking perfect.

i get salty seeing how much i have to drop for woodford now used to be slightly under 30 on sale now it's 40
i've been gifted with 2 scotches (a high quality blended islay which i thought i'd hate) and a Dalmore (not an islay but yumsies nonetheless. not peaty but coffee/chocolate like)
but i miss bourbon. i dont even have a 'meh' bottle around for drinks and cooking, which i used to do. i should at least remedy that

Jim Beam Black. It's cheap as fuck, not rot gut and a generally well-regarded sipper or mixer. Not terribly complex but it's a good bottl for a party. 14.00 for a fifth here and it's winning awards.
Wild Turkey 101. I can get it between 17-20 here. Strong proof but smooth, sweet, spicy. Good neat, on the rocks or mixed in a old fashioned.
