It might be worth trying Sazerac then - I would say Mitchers Rye is even better but its over £40 now. You could go for a Rye sample tasting set from MasterofMalt or The WhiskyExchange and see which ones you prefer more?
Bourbon, Rye and American Whiskey

Yeah think I will try the Saz, as for the Mitchers. I have tried the sour mash, I think they are overpriced for the UK market which is a shame.
Thanks

The Rye is generally better IMHO - I preferred it to Sazerac myself but I do think the price could be lower.
Sazerac is really good.
I have a bottle on the shelf.
Admittedly I only tried that and Bullleit Rye which I didn't think much of, I really should try more Rye whiskey.

Got a bottle of Lot40 as I got it on Amazon for under £30. Tastes very different to Sazerac or Mitchers. The nose is far more herbal too.

by the time I've deliberated it's usually gone up in price

Lot40 was really cheap with the subscription voucher glitch. I got a Deanston 18 for just under £30!
Was £20 for me, ordered a bottle I've never tried Jack Daniels Rye before.
For £20 worth a shot.
Jack Daniel's Rye is actually not bad at all.
Got a bottle of this over Xmas. I can see why some people don’t mind it but I couldn’t stand it after a while. That distinctive yet unpleasant JD signature is there, even with mixers.
Tried Louisville Kentucky Style (ASDA) blended bourbon.
Actually..... Not that...... bad? And £14 a bottle.
I've had worse, I'd drink this over regular black bottle Jack Daniels or Jim Beam.

What is similar to southern comfort please? This is the only drink of this kind that i like, would like to try others.
No not really. Southern Comfort is like a liqueur.

ah, shows what i know!
Tried Southern Comfort Black?
Or Southern Comfort Blood Orange.... if you find a stockist lemme know like rocking horse poop
never tried southern comfort .... but from google comments about it's spice/fruit - Black Bush whiskey ? is almost liqueurish
Spirit of Louisiana is like Southern Comfort.
Personally I think both are vile but each to their own.

How does it compare to the 101? I tried that over the weekend and it's topped my admittedly small list of Bourbons tried so far.
