I find it interesting that Weller Special Reserve is usually $5-10USD less than Buffalo Trace in the US, but here the BCLS has Weller $3 more than Buffalo.

Weller is made by Buffalo Trace. (As is Eagle Rare)

I asked this a few months ago and have now tried many bourbons and scotch under $70. I'm no expert but I like:

Bourbon
Wild Turkey 101 $37
Buffalo Trace $40

Scotch
Naked Grouse $43
Aberfeldy 12 $60
Highland Park 12 $62
Aberlour 12 $66

Naked Grouse is my absolute favorite drink under $45. Buffalo is an easier drink for those new to whiskey. Highland Park is probably the worst choice of those mentioned for a new whiskey drinker, but its good once you like smokey peat.

I've asked before about =<$30 whiskey, and while some are drinkable neat you really get a lot better at $40-50.
