Since not a single one of those is under $70, I'll never know.

It's the highest rated, you're going to want to look to a 'bang for the buck' top ten;

Here's the ratings for the < $50 range (though, I really disliked Royal Crown SR and wouldn't recommend it)

I found the comments interesting.
A surprising lack of cork-sniffery, and a surfeit of sensible comradery.
Much like this place.
Probably due to the active engagement of the article's author/mod.

Hell yeah. Those Four Roses limited editions have always been among my favorites. Haven't had the 2013 that I recall.

Found the Four Roses Limited Edition Small Batch and Single Barrel at the downtown super store for $81.88. Might have to spring for it just to see God's finest gift.

I will definitely snag one if I see it.
