I discovered Ezra Brooks 12-year, single barrel was from the same distillery as the bourbons you listed.The fact that you can get a really good bourbon for $35-40 is what keeps me from buying more scotch. I like to sip on a scotch with a cigar (it takes a bold cigar to stand up to bourbon), but it costs a pretty penny just to get a decent one. A "cheap" scotch like Glenmorangie is still more expensive than a good bourbon like Woodford/Four Roses/Eagle Rare/Buffalo Trace/Makers Mark.
