Less than 30 dollars. What are the best bourbons for less than that?

Life's too short to drink cheap bourbon. Blantons FTW

For me; Buffalo trace or Bulliet. Depending on my mood.

Less than $30 for what, 750ml or a handle?
Because that would make a YUGE difference in my suggestions.

my line of thinking too. I really enjoy Blanton's a lot. I would rather have something that I like less often.

I have no palate;

$20 for the BIG BOTTLE Early Times tastes as good to me as Knob Creek, and I like it better than Jim Beam.

Tried some others, always came back.

I'm Kentucky Whisky Drinker, not a Bourbon Snob.

Eagle Rare when you can find it for $29.99. Other than that, Buffalo Trace and Larceny.

Also Buffalo Trace or Maker's if you like the wheat taste.

Woodford (Last I checked it was like $32)

Bulleit

+1 Early Times. Makes a good mint julep, and is surprisingly good over ice. When I'm flush, Bulleit; when I'm feeling indulgent, Maker's Mark.

Never won a jackpot: if I did, Woodford Reserve or Blanton's.

I don't claim to be an expert. My local liquor store has a pretty good selection of bourbon, though. I asked my bourbon guy at the store what he recommends, and he told me that because bourbon has certain regulations, Jim Beam White, Evan Williams, etc. are pretty much equivalent at that price range.

Rebel Yell Small Batch Rye is surprisingly good. Not complex but good for sipping neat.

Old Forester does it for me on the cheap - when I want a Bourbon. It is my bare minimum quality. If they're out (rarely) I grab Bulliet.

I prefer rum, though, so YMMV.

This is the truth. Nothing, I mean nothing, comes close at that price. I'm drinking the 2004 one now. It's fantastic.

Elijah Craig Single Barrel

Old Granddad 114

WL Weller

and, if it's on sale, 4 Roses Small Batch

these are all wonderful bourbons and more than good enough to serve to anyone.

It's tough for me because we pay out the ass for hard alcohol in Montana (control state FTW ), so I'll go $20-40 range to be in the $30 ballpark.

Eagle Rare.

Four Roses - Yellow Label or definitely FR Single Barrel (but more $$$, about $45 here for SB)

Buffalo Trace.

Evan Williams Single Barrel.

Those will do what a bourbon needs to do. Really, the answer is there are a ton of great bourbons available for reasonable prices.

I miss buying booze at the grocery store the couple years I lived in Vegas.

No liquor here, beer and wine only.

Beer's pretty cheap though.
