[Discussion] Is Bourbon getting too expensive?

I am 35 now, and only really began getting into Whiskey about 6 years ago. I had drank before of course, but mostly in cocktails or at my 21st when a friend split a 750ML of Evan Williams Green with me, and the 3 days of being physically ill that followed drinking such large amounts of whiskey over the course of the night which dragged on to 3am.

My first experience with sipping came when I bought a bottle of Glenmorangie Original after having some at a bar in 2014. From there I tried a Glenfiddich 12, Glenlivet 12, Lismore and Monkey Shoulder, and as a birthday present from my father-in-law I received a bottle of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Out of these I still have the Quinta Ruban, about half full now, and I still keep Monkey Shoulder and sometimes Lismore stocked as I think they are good buys at the 30$ and 20$ price points I find them at. I have tried JW Red and Black, and have a bottle of one of their GoT releases, but to me it just tastes 95% like Red.

In 2015 I decided to try moving on to Bourbon because a lot of the scotch bottles I was enjoying were 40-60$ and I thought Bourbon might be cheaper for me. I began with some EW 1783 that I picked up for 12.99 and some Rebel Yell that I picked up for I believe around the same. They were both decent and I still enjoy 1783 when I can find it, though I recently moved to Illinois and the stores here never stock it. From there I got some EWSB that I have a few different vintages of by now and while I once could pick it up for 25$, it is now edging closer and closer to 35$. I use to be able to find Weller Reserve for 23$ and Antique for 30$. Now the reserve is 30+ and antique is very difficult to track down for me. I don't even find reserve good enough to warrant the cost anymore personally. I've had Eagle Rare which I got for 30$ which I am now seeing around 50, again not worth the price tag to me. I still have a bottle of Booker's Small batch that I really love, but I only drink it occasionally because of how expensive it is, and I recently was gifted some Blanton's Single Barrel and while I like it, it's impossible to find here and not worth 200$+. I can find EH Taylor SB here for 50$, and I still think thats likely worth the price, but it's slightly higher than I would like to spend on a daily and I'm not sure how long to expect it for this price when I see it going online for 100$ often. Things like Stagg JR and any of the nicer weller, or even ORVW10 is pretty much impossible to find in stores here, which is disappointing.

For Japanese I've only had Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt, which I did enjoy, but not enough to justify the 80$ price tag in my opinion. It doesn't compare to the Quinta Ruban I could get for 50$.

Irish I have only had Tullamore Dew and Jameson and the like, and I did find Tullamore to be a very decent bottle for 20$, but I liked Lismore or 1783 better at those price points and never really explored the ranges.

My most recent liking has been WFE 4 Year Rye, which I actually think might be in the top3 or at least top5 of things I have tried, and I can get it anytime for 60$ here, but I have yet to find anything comparable at a price I wouldn't mind drinking on a regular basis, and the rarer Rye seems super expensive.

What style do you think is the cheapest to really dive into, especially if you are wanting to obtain some of the older or rarer expressions? I typically am never willing to spend more than 100, and usually keep to 20-30 for daily and 40-60 for weekend selections. I have also been recommended to try Rum also, but my only experience thus far was some Appleton Estate 12, and it was so long ago that I don't even remember if I liked it.
