The 10 year Ancient Ancient Age is decent drinking, particularly considering the value. Unfortunately, I don't think Buffalo Trace puts it out any longer.

There is also a 10 Star Ancient Ancient Age (no age statement, but supposedly around 6 years old, and 90 proof), which is... well, at least it's not swill. It's drinkable, and super-cheap. I think around here it goes for $19 for 1.75L. I keep some on hand for the much-less-discerning bourbon drinkers who stop by our home. I could see it being OK as a mixer for a cocktail where the bourbon isn't the predominant element.
