Buffalo trace is ridiculously overpriced nowadays. Good bourbon, but def not worth $35-40 for 750ml.

> you should get another wheated bourbon like Maker's Mark French oaked

I agree. I've found Maker Mark products to be a great bang for your buck quality wise and flavor wise as well.

If you can find Buffalo Trace for msrp which is $20-30, it's a good deal. I think the bourbon "market" kind of popped recently so finding things has been getting a little easier.

Yep! I agree! At MSRP BT is a great buy.

> I think the bourbon "market" kind of popped recently

It def did. The overproduction that was invested in during the peak of the COVID collector boom is coming into markets now. I think we'll see some well priced age stated products in the next 3-4 years based on by acquaintances in the space.

Ofc, the elephant in the room is consolidation - everyone wants to copy the LVMH model (and they say Europeans are ethical elves who never use underhanded mopolistic and market making behavior to corner markets /s).
