6 of my favorites are not too expensive.
Early Times Botted in Bond
Henry McKenna 10 Bottled in Bond
Wilderness Trail Bottled in Bond
Evan Williams Bottled in Bond
Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond
Colonel EH Taylor Small Batch Bottled in Bond

Some people like Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond and Old Grandad Bonded, but I don't care fore either myself.

I had some Early Times BnB this weekend and it was pretty tasty. up
Evan Williams was just OK in my opinion.

TexasLefty will be along to school everyone shortly.

Good stuff. Rocks, no water. Scotch ball if you have it.

I think the 1792 BiB will make the cut, right at $40.
One of my favorites.

Broken Saddle BiB is also good.

For what it's worth, Evan Williams black, 1783 or bottled in bond are my go to's.

I get the Evan Williams white label BIB 1.75 liter for around $25-30 for an everyday sipper since it's cheap. Have a few others that are more expensive. Might have to give the Early Times a try too.

Yes it’s good but, unfortunately it’s not distilled in Alabama. They are just another Non Distilling Producer (NDP) or sourced whiskey.

The article Simple searcher posted is somewhat incomplete.

The head distiller has to remain the same during that four year period and in case you missed it Colonel Taylor of the famous E H Taylor whiskey was instrumental in getting the laws passed to create bottled in bond whiskey.

My personal favorite BIB is Taylor small batch but it’s $50 with tax and that’s if your lucky enough to find it at retail. Henry Mckenna BIB is inconsistent the last few years but, I have not personally found a bad bottle.

I’ll add that anyone interested in knocking Evan Williams BIB, I’ll be happy to provide the whiskeys to prove you wrong in a double blind side by side comparison. My “black bag full of whiskey” is starting to become popular.
.
Now, if you read all that..... most of the whiskeys named above can’t truly be considered because they are not on the shelf of the liquor store 99 times out of 100 visits. Before you ask the question yes... I hit liquor stores multiple times a week.

If your still reading this Evan Williams BIB is your clear leader in this category, good, inexpensive and always on the shelf.

I could use a good pour tonight! I’m on a hiatus but hopefully plan on having something next week.

Cracked this one up last night. BIB this is the newer Early Times and a bunch of bourbon gurus say it is no where close to the old version of it. It’s a good sip at 23 dollars, imo.

Good man! Was just talking about my local around the corner store. BUT whenever I do make it to Total Wine which is a tote for me, I stock up on just about anything we keep in the liquor cabinet from Tito's to Bar Hill and Bombay Sapphire gin, Evan Williams BIB as well as other whiskeys and bourbons and of course some different beers as well. I always spend a ton and feel like a lush walking out of that place, but in reality save a ton. It's like the Sam's Club of liquor stores!

Hey foxtrot, check out Specs if you have one nearby. They usually have slightly better prices.

That is what I have been told as well, I got a bottle not long ago and wasn't a fan of it.

I did recently get a bottle of Old Grand Dad 114, I thought that was pretty decent for its $20 price point.

I loooove OGD114. It’s one of my favorite budget flask fillers when I’m going out and want to take something good but not high roller.

Lefty has my bottle I think. I actually enjoy it, but it’s very polarizing - people seem to love it or hate it.

I do not hate it, I certainly gave it a solid try. It is a different tasting bourbon that i just couldn't develop a taste for.
I mixed it with Sprite... and ruined a perfectly good Sprite. grin
