With us covering Laws Whiskey in this issue, we felt it was the right call for our over-and-under $50 article. Four grain whiskies have become popular as of late, and Laws Whiskey House does a lot to carry on the four grain hype. Their four grain straight bourbon is complex and delicious. It's full of deep-roasted notes of rye and baking spice balanced by more subtle notes of tobacco and smoked black currant tea. It's a smooth drink at 95 proof, allowing some of the more subtle flavors to open up. At around $55 a bottle, it's affordable and tasty.

$50 Every now and again you'll find a bottle that is insanely affordable but also ridiculously delicious. And, J.T.S. Brown is one of those pours. It set us back an incredibly pricy $16 at Justin's House of Bourbon during one of our Kentucky adventures. At that price, it's an absolute steal. While you can definitely tell that it's a younger bourbon, having that distinct "young corn" flavor at the end of the palate, the flavor is still undeniably good. The pour is sweet and toasty with notes of caramel cream, cinnamon, tobacco, and dried orange peel. 13
