Lets say a person had up to a hundred bucks to by a bottle of bourbon. What would you tell that fellow to buy? I always end up with Evan Willimas ten year which although only about 14 bucks a bottle is absolutly perfect to me.
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage is generally outstanding, and is worth much more than the meager $25 entry fee. I prefer this bourbon to many of the pricier offerings, and if you're an EW fan anyway you'll likely love it.
Situationally dependent. Since they don't all taste the same other factors enter into what may be best for a particular moment. Four Roses Single Barrel is some damn fine stuff if you know somebody who lives in Kentucky. I did a review of it that you can find by clicking on my signature link.
Rare Breed is a "barrel-proof bourbon," meaning it is bottled directly from a variety of barrels at the proof it reaches in those barrels, with no added water to lower the proof or dilute the flavor.
This bourbon is a unique marriage of Wild Turkey 6-, 8- and 12-year-old stocks, which give the whiskey a rich, exceptional flavor that is remarkably smooth, considering its high alcohol content. It is assertive with hints of light oranges, mint, and tones of sweet tobacco that will remind you of your grandfather's pipe-bowl. The finish is long, warm and nutty and lingers in the mouth with hints of hot peppers and well-toasted whole wheat bread.

I was offering some seriously good stuff which you may get a second chance at if you want to sign up for it. Also under your $100 limit.

If AVB has any bottles left, I would strongly recommend trying this.
Ya gotta try Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 20 yo. This bourbon is simply incredible!!!
Wild Turkey is the bourbon of choice around here. I usually drink the "plain old" 101 proof but I do get a bottle of their "Rare Breed" bourbon every few months, for a nice change:

....the best? Probably not, though It's one I enjoy....Well under your $100.00 / bottle limit so you may want to give this one a go.
