I also like Jim beam if just trying to booze.
If you like the Four Roses small batch, definitely give the Four Roses Single Barrel a try. Around $50/bottle for me locally, one of my favorites.
I personally have been hoarding Blanton's lately, as it has been showing up periodically at liquor stores near me, and I rush and buy one every time I see one in stock on the web (up to 8 bottles + 2 I have drank during the pandemic). I think it is great, and comes in a lovely bottle. ~$60/bottle locally, people trying to get much more in aftermarket.
Speaking of lovely bottles, Willet Pot Still Reserve has one of the most unique ( and IMHO nicest ) bottles out there, made to look like the pot stills that they distill them in. And the Whiskey is delicious to boot, slightly sweet and carmely , reminds me of eating a popcorn ball.
Just bought a case to split with a friend of Noah's Mill. Higher proof, also from Willet distillery ( although I believe it is sourced ), it is my friends favorite Bourbon, and I also think it is quite good. We got it for ~$58/bottle with tax, seems like the price is going up in some places.
And if you really want to go for a splurge on something that you can actually find, try Bookers. The price has taken a jump around here at about $85/bottle (seems that it was in the $50-$60 range a few years ago ), but it is very tasty, and is quite high proof, so you can stretch a bottle a bit more than some of the lower proof options.
