I'll check for the Old Fitzgerald. I can't remember seeing it, but I can not say it would have jumped out at me.

I 'triple post' this here so you'll notice the Stitzel-Weller bottle on the bar booth seat, from the days of "BYOB and set-up fees" in Texas.

Christmas present 2014. Finally popped the cork a couple of weeks ago on my birthday.
I am sooooooo jealous!
I'm no Bourbon Connoisseur (heck, can't even spell it right) but I wanted to give the FIREBALL Cinnamon Whiskey a try. My store didn't have it but it did have a Jack Daniels version (a bit pricey) and the 'Jim Beam Kentucky Fire' which followed me home that day. Gotta say I really like this one,...and judging by the bottle, maybe a bit too much 
I saw 2 or all 3 of those at the Costco liquor store on Tuesday.
No membership needed. So it is a local vendor and your local Costco liquor store may vary.

WL Weller,Old Weller Antique,Four Roses (small batch & single barrel),and Blantons are what I usually have on hand.
Typically use the WL Weller to make Bourbon sours as my "go to" R&R mixed drink.
The others are for more refined drinking sessions.

Well, you are my hero. I drink Weller Special Reserve maybe 4 times a week, Weller 12 maybe twice a month.
The daily pour is Very Old Barton.

You are in Knoxville too! Well, if I were you I would be on the Palm Coast now.
Great choices.
I also have found another bourbon I really like however its pricey. Woodford Double Oak. Sweet with a vanilla finish. Sooooooo good
Pushing the limits of budget bourbon, I bought a bottle of Benchmark Old No. 8 ($10) to see how it would compare to the slightly more expensive Evan Williams black label ($12). It doesn't. The Benchmark fires off all kinds of "cheap, nasty bourbon" receptors that the EW fails to trigger.
EW is my go-to cheap bourbon for mixing and, in a pinch, sipping. I'm looking for something that's either cheaper than EW black label and I like just as much, or not much more expensive and I like better straight. Four Roses yellow label is nice at $20, but it still chokes me to see it getting used for mixing.
I'm learning that I like the traditional mashbill bourbons like the EW and Benchmark, but not as much as higher rye varieties like the Four Roses. I'm not a fan of wheaters, and I didn't care for the budget favorite Weller SR at all.
Any budget (under $15) all-purpose recommendations with either a high rye or traditional mashbill? Very Old Barton looks interesting, but is essentially unobtanium in Ohio.

Old Forester meets the above criteria, depending on local pricing. Here's an article with a few more options in the cheap but good bourbons.
