Good choice too. I always keep a bottle on hand. Bottled in bond is good too

Best bourbon at a reasonable price?

Ezra Brooks Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. 90 proof and smooth as silk.

Best budget bourbon: Buffalo Trace

Best Rye: Sazerac Rye

Best overall: Blantons

So many other really great choices and some mentioned above I’ve not tried.

If anyone has a chance to visit Woodford’s distillery. It’s heaven on earth!!

For someone just beginning their bourbon adventure, would Makers Mark be a good place to start?

To me Makers was the only bourbon you could regularly find in bars, especially where I was living UON north, about 20 years ago. Because of that, it was my go to then but now there are so many better options.

Makers reminds of a buddy who used to swig whiskey then look at you with a wince on his face and he’d say in a deep raspy voice “smooooth.”

To clarify my post, Makers I would not recommend to a bee bourbon drinker. Get a bottle of Buffalo Trace and enjoy. It’s great with a mixer, pretty darn good on the rocks and serviceable neat.
