Yeah.. I get it, you want to spend $80 on a bottle of bourbon.

For those of you like me, that has a night cap each night, what are you going for?

Here's what I have currently and regularly buy:
1. Wild turkey 101- can get it in a handle. Not sure I think there is a better bourbon for the price.
2. Old Forester 86. I like OF 100 a lot more, but 86 comes in a handle and a few bucks cheaper. I will someone buy a couple bottles of 100 instead. Gun to my head, I may take OF 100 over turkey 101.
3. Evan Williams BiB. It's cheap. It's decent. If I'm doing another pour later at night, like while watching the GB- SF game tonight, it's what I'm grabbing.
4. Rebel Yell 100. Don't get it that often, but it's a completely different profile than the others. Heavy cinnamon to me, so if I'm looking to mix it up or I'm tired of getting the same thing at the store, I'll grab a handle. Sometimes I think it works better if I make an ad hoc old fashioned or Manhattan. Neat it's pretty over dimensional.

So, you cheap bastards, what handles do you get?
