I’ve got a mate whos a big fan of Bourbon. He’s tried all the standard brands like Buffalo Trace, JD, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey.

I want to get him a bottle for Xmas of something he might not have tried before, something I can say was recommended by Americans as a good bourbon. Doesn’t need to be some weird flavour like Red Stag, just old fashioned American bourbon that maybe flies under the radar in other countries.

    Elijah Craig. 94 proof. First company to age in Oak barrels. Around here 750ml goes for around 25-30 so it won’t blow ur bank

      Their single barrel rye is great as well. Good intro to rye for someone that likes bourbon
