5. Maker’s Mark (Maker’s Mark Distillery) – Price $19
It’s the only handmade bourbon whiskey produced only in batches of 19 barrels or less. Its red waxed bottle is its most recognizable characteristics but it’s the bourbon’s well-balanced flavor what makes it unique. It tastes fruity and creamy with notes of spice honey and mixed peels. It’s an excellent value for the money, which is why we think of it as one of the 11 best inexpensive bourbons under $25 that don’t taste cheap.
