Would you use a $200+ bottle for cocktails? Of course not. But any high-end bottle, say < $50, wll make a much better drink than the standard well booze.

I agree.

I have been reading some on the subject and it seems the better Bourbon's to use are the more woody, spicey ones than the sweeter ones to account for the sugar added in the julep. That sounds good to me, and gives me another reason to go buy some woodier bourbon's.
