I want to buy a bottle of bourbon for a friend as a thank you...maybe $40 max. What do you all recommend? It seems that maybe Woodford is a favorite here.

BTW...I had an interesting cocktail that sounds weird but was really good. It was basically an old fashioned but with a small amount of banana puree added. As odd as it sounds, the banana really smoothed it out and didn't make it taste like bananas.
