Every bourbon tastes the same unless it's Weller, King's County Peated, or Pappy (or Jim Beam for the wrong reasons lol)

Tbh, a mid-shelf Four Roses gets you 90% of the way to a upper shelf Weller.

I'm being hyperbolic but yeah four roses is probably the best deal next to Buffalo trace. All their stuff is fairly priced. If you want something like Weller though, you should get another wheated bourbon like Maker's Mark French oaked.

Buffalo trace is ridiculously overpriced nowadays. Good bourbon, but def not worth $35-40 for 750ml.

> you should get another wheated bourbon like Maker's Mark French oaked

I agree. I've found Maker Mark products to be a great bang for your buck quality wise and flavor wise as well.
