Uncle nearest is good. It was available on shelves at NC ABC stores few months ago. Not sure if they are rare now. But great for sipping neat.

I like uncle nearest as well, I’ve heard the red label is even better. Have not tried the other two in your photo

Some good brands to try that are not too pricey:
-1792
-Jefferson’s
-Redemption
-New Riff
I have not, tell us how they are.
Uncle Nearest is pretty good. Haven’t had the others. A couple more that are also good and not too pricey:
-Four Roses (my absolute favorite)
-Elijah Craig
-Angel’s Envy
Uncle Nearest- if you can, find their other expression 1856 which is a blend of their aged whiskey.
1820 is harder to find than both. It’s their SiB
Wiseman is a Kentucky Owl product and is released from time to time.
The Wiseman—a blend of 4 year old Kentucky Owl wheat and high-rye bourbons, as well as older, sourced Kentucky bourbons—is the brand’s first bourbon produced and distilled in collaboration with Bardstown Bourbon Co., as well as its first whiskey created by Rhea. “Seventy percent of the liquid that’s in The Wiseman is Kentucky Owl’s product that was made in collaboration with Bardstown Bourbon Co.,” Mandell says.

Uncle Nearest - generally I’m not a Tennessee whiskey fan; agree with VP1 that the other varieties are better
Wiseman - haven’t had it but heard good things.
Haven’t had that Yellowstone but not easy to find so worth a try IMO.
In that price range I agree on Four Roses (small batch or single barrel) and Elijah Craig small batch. Also some overlooked and great value bottles are Evan Williams single barrel or 1783. Try Maker’s Mark (or Makers 46) as reasonably priced wheated bourbon (wheat instead of rye so less spice). I’m a big Michter’s fan as well (several varieties at about $40).
Uncle Nearest 1884 is a pretty solid product but the 1856 has a much better flavor profile imo. Yellowstone is also a middle of the road bourbon for me. What area are you in that would classify these as allocated?
This was in Durham, NC
