The 12 Best Bourbons Under $200 to Try in 2022
2. Mitcher’s 10 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Check Price
Michter’s individuality in bourbon production and age as a distiller – it’s the oldest Kentucky Distillery having been opened in 1753 – means it suits the bourbon lover with a refined taste that enjoys a sense of history with their rocks glass.
The 10-year aged expression is one of the brand’s finest – I’m also a huge fan of their US*1 Rye Whiskey – and represents the culmination of over a decade of patient aging in specially chosen, new charred American white oak barrels.
Bottled at 94.4 proof, Michter’s 10 Year is full of big and bold flavors aged perfectly in Oak. It features dark toffee and caramel, charred oak, maple syrup, and that classic bourbon vanilla that sets your taste buds fluttering.
This is the type of American whiskey expression every bourbon lover wants to get their hands-on, and never let it run out!
3. Weller Antique 107 Bourbon
Check Price
It’s pretty wild suggesting that a bourbon bottle that costs more than $100 represents good value, but since other expressions with the W.L. Weller label climb north of $1000+ the brand’s Antique 107 fits the bill for good pricing.
William Larue Weller was the first distiller of wheat whisky, and he once employed Pappy van Winkle before he rose to fame. W.L. Weller bourbon was originally crafted by the Stitzel Weller Distillery. Now in the safe hands of Buffalo Trace/Sazerac, Weller Antique 107 is a top drawer wheated bourbon expression.
Weller Antique 107 is an attractive dark copper color, aged for seven years in white oak before being bottled at 107 proof. It offers a potent yet complex taste and bold finish of vanilla, oak, and caramel, while irresistible cinnamon spice and black licorice can be found throughout.
If you are after an accessible wheat bourbon and a well-priced option in the premium whiskey sector, then Weller 107 is a highly enjoyable bottle for sipping or luxury cocktail making.
