Best bourbon recommendation?

[Nameless King]

Before you post your answer please read this;

I am looking for an original, the most classic bourbon experience there is without any 'twists or additions'. Pure classic bourbon.

Because I am from Europe my choice will be a bit limited. I will not be posting entire list of whats available because that will take some time, but on this website I can get anything you see. If you find something you could recommend please do let me know.

Hudson make good whisky, though not tried that Baby Bourbon.. Woodford Reserve is a classic.. One of the most interesting i've tried which is technically not a Bourbon, but sort of it's own unique thing is Balcones Brimstone, made with blue corn .

Smoky shittt.

I like Buffalo Trace. Maker's Mark is also decent.

I'm a fan of Woodfords reserve.

That Basil Hayden is expensive but good.

Michters is good, Rebel Yell is solid for a cheap bottle.

 

[Contempt]

My suggestion would be to skip the bourbon and switch to single malt scotch instead.

What’s your price range? For a “classic” bourbon experience, I’ll recommend a few things at various price points.

$25 or so— Larceny. Larceny is a wheated bourbon like Makers Mark (or Pappy for that matter). Very nice bourbon for the price.

$40 or so—Old Forrester 1870. This is part of their Whisky Row series, in which OF released 4 bourbons that commemorate important years in the history of the company or history of whiskey. 1870 is the year OF was formed, and this bourbon attempts to recreate what their original batch would’ve tasted like back then.

$50-ish—Rabbit Hole Cavehill bourbon. Love Rabbit Hole. Love all their products that I’ve tried. They’re a newer company that distill their own spirits (they don’t source). Highly recommend trying them.

$65-$70— Widow Jane 10 Year. Delicious, classic, 10 year aged bourbon. Highly recommend.

Specifically from your link, Eagle Rare gets great reviews but I can never find it near me so I haven’t tried it. I’ve heard good things about FEW and Maker’s 46 as well but never tried them. I’ve never tried Hudson Bay’s bourbon, but I did try their rye and liked it a lot.

Makers 46 is a medium priced option that I enjoy. Maker's Mark has something called the Ambassador's Club. @fingercuffs and @Kaybee have joined and I'm sure a few others did too. Free yearly gifts and a barrel with your name on it. Maker's really cares about their customers and for that reason alone, I'm always loyal to them.

I'm a bourbon man myself and what the other posters listed so far are really good entry level options.
-Buffalo Trace
- Woodford Reserve
-Makers mark
-four roses
-Bulliet
-Wild Turkey
-eagle rare

I’m a member of Redbreast’s Birdcage. This doesn’t really mean anything except that I’m eligible to try and purchase their yearly Dream Cask when it comes out, which I can’t afford anyway lmao.

Woodford Reserve is a solid choice.

Also if you like something a little peaty, Whistle Pig.

 

[Fugazy]

Bourbon sucks.

If you want to drink something that’s weird and sugary and might taste like burnt wood, yeah, go for it.

This was going to be my recommendation. This is both a good bourbon and a very, very sort of standard bourbon to taste. Not stupid expensive either.
