I've got a mate whos a big fan of Bourbon. He's tried all the standard brands like Buffalo Trace, JD, Jim Beam and Wild Turkey.

I want to get him a bottle for Xmas of something he might not have tried before, something I can say was recommended by Americans as a good bourbon. Doesn't need to be some weird flavour like Red Stag, just old fashioned American bourbon that maybe flies under the radar in other countries.

Angel's Envy is one of my favorites. Runs about $45 here in the states and is relatively easy to find. I'm not sure if they export though.

Oh! Have they fixed their supplying issues? I haven't had a drink in a while, but for years they were having trouble keeping stock in most stores because they had a distillery fire and had to run with what they had stored. Even after that, any time I'd find a place that would get some, they'd only be able to get a single case in and it would be sold out within a day or 2. I basically had to get lucky and happen to stop by the same day they got it in, but before they stocked the shelves. It was probably solid 5-6 years of never seeing it on a shelf and only getting it if I asked for it and they go it from the back.

I'm not sure. That's the first I've heard of a fire. It's pretty easy to find in my area, but I can't speak for the rest of the country. I have noticed the price go up some in recent years, but I assumed it was from popularity and just general inflation.
