Jim Beam Black. It's become a go-to for me, because it's extraordinary for the money.

Just about anything from Kentucky...on my way to Texas stopped in Louisville and dammit it was bourbon heaven!
Buffalo Trace to start and will work my way up the collection through all the Pappy Van Winkle.
That's the one thing I love about bourbon. There are so many gems you can find for under $50. Eagle Rare is a go to of mine and it's rarely more than $35.
The genetics are interesting, as well. For example, the Eagle Rare that we both love is twice-aged Buffalo Trace. And the great Basil Hayden? "Older Granddad".
Makers Mark Old Fashion. Lately loving the muddled fruit. I'm getting old, lol.

My wife makes a cocktail for me during the summer that you would love. Bourbon, lemonade, agave syrup, muddled strawberries and basil. It's super awesome.
I've done a strawberry basil martini (vodka). They pair very nicely. I'll have to give yours a try, although my first thought was too sweet with the lemonade + agave syrup. I may go sans syrup.
Making a Bourbon Old Fashioned in about 1 minute as I get ready to watch the US Open after watching Carli Lloyd score 2 (should have had 3) in a USA win.
