Yeah. It's pretty rough around the edges actually.

The rare breed is much nicer, and the Master's Keep is incredible if you ever get the chance.  ($150 per bottle) 

My favorite on the budget tip lately is the Old Forester Rye.  It's a dark and distinctive rye for under $30. 
100 proof, but much smoother than you'd think. Hard to find at the moment. They just came out with it and the first shipment to stores sold out quickly as collectors and traders are into it.

My pick for best value bourbon is Buffalo Trace. While it's certainly not the best bourbon ever, it's the best for it's price (typically high 20s) and even beats some higher priced bourbons, in my opinion.

I'm not sure I'd ever pay $150 for a bottle. The highest I go is Knob Creek Single Barrel, and that's one of my favorites. 120 proof but not harsh at all. Can be sipped neat. I get myself in trouble with it sometimes. It's like candy to me.
