| I'd like to buy a gift for a bourbon drinker. Can anyone recommend an affordable bottle (<$40) that will still be a nice gift? |

Bookers one of several for people who can appreciate bourbon
If you want to make the statement "I just bought you a nice bottle" to someone incapable of recognizing a name like Bookers, go with Jack Daniels Single Barrel. |

| No, get a smaller batch bottle or at least Woodford Reserve. |

| You could buy a 750ml of Bulleit, Knob Creek, or Woodford Reserve for less than $40. All of them are very fine choices. |

Knob Creek is a nice gift for a bourbon drinker. Blanton's if you really like them.

Personally I find Woodford Reserve boring and substandard. Booker's, Blanton's, and Knob Creek are all nice.
I also really like Elijah Craig, which is accessible, good in cocktails, and a bit cheaper. Someone who really likes blended bourbon will probably appreciate it. Someone who is after the name or knows the price may turn their nose up just a bit. |

| Buffalo Trace is a really good option for the price point. |
