I'm going to Bevmo tomorrow to look for a bottle of bourbon and some tequila.
I don't know what happened to what I had in the cabinet.
I saw a post of a picture of bourbon under the sink, so I thought you folks may have a suggestion for a good buy.
I'm looking at Buffalo Trace, $19.99.

There's several I can recommend. You're doing very, very well with the Buffalo Trace. It's the best bang for the buck that I know of.
Woodford Reserve is a staple for me. It's on sale right now at the Bevmo, about $27. Nose has caramel, vanilla. Taste is a bit hot (is 90ish proof), but you can get the caramel, vanilla. Great color.
My current favorite is Wild Turkey (bear with me here) Rare Breed. Not the Kentucky Spirit, or the 101 sh*t. This is almost 109 proof, but it doesn't taste like it. I can take it straight or with an ice cube or two. It should be about $37, I'm told that it's some of the best out there at any price. Like I said, high ABV, but doesn't taste like it. Nose has caramel, vanilla, spice; taste has lots of citrus. Excellent...just great.
Bookers is high alcohol, too much so. A bit expensive.
Ditto on the price for the Willett.
Basil Hayden is ok, not great to me.
Makers 46 is pretty darn good, but I think the Buffalo Trace is better, and it costs less
Stay away from Bakers, Bulleit
Want something different? Try the Sazerac Rye. About $26.
