$200 for a bourbon/whiskey collection - what do you pick?

So inspired by today's Bourbon Junkies video, what would you choose if you were tasked to start a bourbon/whiskey collection with $200? After watching their video, I'd change up the rules slightly.

- You have to pick no fewer than 5 bottles
- All bottles must be 750ml or greater
- Everything must be at least semi-regularly available to you
- Use retail prices in your area. This is pretty subjective, but use your judgement here
- Go with price before tax since everywhere is different

Here are my picks:

1. Buffalo Trace ($25) - I can get it for $22, but most places have it for a few bucks more.

2. Wild Turkey Rare Breed ($50) - Really hard to beat this one.

3. Old Forester Rye ($30) - My favorite whiskey to make an Old Fashioned with, and still great to drink neat.

4. Old Forester 1910 ($55) - Love this bottle. Thought about Woodford Reserve Double Oaked at a similar price point, but I think I like this one better.

5. Elijah Craig Small Batch ($25) - This is still a really nice daily drinker.

These 5 bottles come in at $185. I could have gone with something else a little pricier than the EC or BT, but I think this would be a great starter bourbon collection.
