This is where you find the real whiskey nerds tinkering with new ideas, new flavor profiles, and whiskeys. Generally speaking, those are the whiskeys that really shine at this particular price point. These folks are the mad scientists/magicians working with barrels that are either contract distilled or sourced from a distillery before a blending team finishes and blends those barrels into special (sometimes one-off) whiskeys that are unlike any other. What’s interesting is that 16 of these whiskeys are made by non-distilling producers or blender-bottlers. To help you find some semblance of light at the end of the tunnel with bourbons at this price point, I’m going to call out 20 bourbon whiskeys that are actually worth giving a shot. It’s a mixed bag that only just starts to scrape against the true high-end bourbon whiskey on the shelf (or behind the glass at the liquor store).Īnd because of that chaotic landscape, it’s easy to get completely lost when you’re looking at bourbons for just under $100.
