With the US Dollar tanking, finding a decent single malt whiskey from across the pond for less than $50 is getting harder by the day. What a great time to rediscover America’s national spirit: Bourbon. While $30 won’t buy you a Scottish Single Malt worth cleaning your paint brushes with, it can actually get you quite a nice bottle of golden Kentucky deliciousness. Elmer T Lee Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon for example, is a big-bodied rye recipe bourbon with hints of butterscotch and vanilla. At 90 proof, it is best enjoyed with a liberal splash of water unless your name begins with “Colonel” in which case you should take it neat with a side of gunpowder.
