This is one of my favorite America Whiskies. It costs about $11 a bottle in my area. I like bourbons ranging in price from $10-55/bottle. The best thing to do when sampling spirits is to toss the idea that higher price means higher quality. With the resurgence in distilled spirits a lot of money and celebrity is thrown into the mix to influence perception. A lot of people can't even tell the difference between OK stuff and excellent stuff. I don't think that's bad at all. If you can get past worrying what other people think about your choices you'll be doing yourself a huge favor.
I guess that applies to a lot of other things besides whiskey!
