Believe it or not Jim Beam Repeal Batch is pretty tasty, especially for only $10. Another JB submission is Old Tub for $20.

As for Jim Beam, their Legent is damn tasty!
Old Forrester 1910 is one of my favorites, and it’s also great for ppl just starting bourbon (so is the Woodford Double Oak)
Ones I usually recommend to someone wanting to start into bourbons are:
Evan Williams 1783 or Bottled in Bond
Elijah Craig Small Batch (This was what started my bourbon journey)
Four Roses Small Batch
Wild Turkey 101
Knob Creek 9 year
If you like something that is sweeter, I highly recommend Woodford Double Oaked or Old Forester 1910.

Sorry for my spelling. My wife introduced me to scotch, her favorite is Glenn Fiddich and then G Levit.

Depending on the Scotches one likes, rye might be an easier transition than bourbon. I would try Old Forester rye.
Cedar Ridge. Eastern Iowa distiller, found in a lot of Fareway grocery stores in the state. It has been my favorite. The WR Double Oak is maybe 2nd on the list for the ones that were listed.
Evan Williams "Bottle in Bond" is really good. Tastes like a really good well aged bourbon to me. The 1.75L I recently got was <$20!
The only one I really liked was the "Double Aged" black bottle. The regular white one my father drank some, always gave me bad heartburn and generally an upset tummy with just a shot or two (really not that much at all was bad news for me).
How do those two compare? Smooth neat or over rocks?
I want to get this.

It's very light, with very traditional flavors.
I just bought a bottle of it a couple weeks back. Damn, the last time I bought it, it cost me $39. This time, I choked.
That sounds about right for what I paid, maybe closer to $50? I occasionally check some of the secondary sites and chuckle at what people pay for it now. Maybe someday I’ll put one of my kids through college with it.
Did y’all see the news about the barrels of whisky from The Westmoreland that sunk in in the 1854? Gives a new meaning to “aged at sea” although it was a freshwater sea. Last I saw it was 280 barrels possibly worth $870mil. So roughly 3mil a barrel. Who’s in for a group buy?
Last bottle of Old Rip 10 YO I bought was around $30. Darned good, worth more than $30 back then, but not mind blowing and stratospherically priced good.
