Pragmatic advice: just get the Trader Joe's bourbon (made at same distillery as Buffalo Trace). Smoky, and tastes like rye. It's still pretty sweet, but not overwhelming like most bourbon. And it's $13-$15. I think you'll struggle to find a smooth bourbon that isn't sweet, no matter the price range.
But New Mexico has plentiful, really good tequila.

Advice needed please...
I'm in the USA for a year (New Mexico) and I figured I'd try a bourbon rather than getting a Scotch which is my usual. Trouble is I've not had that many bourbons and those I've had seemed very sweet (one was like bloody toothpaste).
I really like a smooth malt, The Balvenie is my favourite Scotch but I like pretty much all I've tasted. Clearly a bourbon will taste different (that is after all the point of getting something different, doh!), but can anyone recommend a not too pricy bourbon that won't be too sweet?
