Even Williams is the sweet spot between price and quality. Pic related is the best value due to it's longer aging (currently 8-9 years - formerly 10 years).

For me it's Old Grand Dad bottled in bond, the best budget bourbon.

>>9035530
Its not even that smokey. Laph QC is much stronger. Hell try the Ardbeg Uige if you want something more fruit forward
>>9035182
Blanton's is nice but the prices here in Canada are awful, its over $60 a pop just for the regular one. Even Eagle Rare 10 is $55 CAD which turned me off getting a bottle last week.
>>9034497
BT is my go to budget sipper, I hope they keep the current maturity and don't sell out the recipe like Knob Creek did.

Also posting my recent favorite distillery, had a 19 year IB from them and it was divine.

>>9033465
Evan Williams is definitely not in the sweet spot between price and quality, because even it's low price cannot justify a taste that fucking bad.

What level of /ck/ hell will I end up on for wanting to try a Four Horsemen (Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, and Jameson)? I'm relatively young, but I've tried all four separately. My favorite of the group is probably Jameson, but my favorite whisky in general is >>9035166.

I haven't drank that much whiskey and I don't want to spend money on something I'm not sure I'll like. I've only tried shots of Wild Turkey and some other assorted honey whiskeys. I prefer the turkey over the honey if that helps.

Seriously one of the better bourbons for less than $40.

The 80 proof is acceptable, dry, spicy and not sickly sweet like many cheap bourbons.

The 100 proof BIB is legitimately great.

The 114 is a bit too strong without letting it sit in ice and melt a bit, but great if you want a strong bottle of bourbon for not much money that doesn't taste like sweetened paint thinner - a 750ml bottle can be had for $24.

For a while it was impossible to find, at least in Houston, but now it's popping up like crazy and the bottles have changed. It's also $3-5 more expensive, which I dislike, of course, but it still tastes just as good, so I'm glad they didn't rape the mash-bill, all the rye is still in it.

>>9034274
OGD 80 proof is the same price and doesn't taste like sugar and kerosene, sir.

Anyone else a fan of unaged whiskeys? Most people I know hate them but I love one glass here and there.

>>9032991
That Kickin' Chicken works for me!

>>9037736
Is that a Webley?

101 is great for the price. I also enjoy redbreast and pretty much any islay scotch you throw at me.

>>9036515
I tried buffalo trace once, wasn't a fan. All I could taste on it was medicine. Not even notes of medicinal qualities, just straight medicinal.

Some people like it, but it wasn't for me.

Best Scotch I've had is Lagavulin 16

Best Bourbon I've had is Four Roses Single Barrel

Best Scotch I ever had was Lagavulin 16 sherry cask until I tasted the 1999 distillers edition. It's the crack version of Lagavulin 16. You only need to taste it once.

Vodka has a neutral flavour and so is usually redistilled several times and filtered. Unaged whiskies have strong, distinct flavours.

If you haven't already, try their rye, it's phenomenal, well, at least if it's not the 3 year old bottle they have, that stuff is rough. The 6 and 8 year old bottles are fantastic.

>>9040630
I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for the recommendation

>>9040630
>>9040657
The older Willetts are MGP though. But they probably have better casks.

>>9040662
This is the best, for the price no doubt. The distillers cut the cost on presentation as they only care about true flavor.

>>9040701
It comes in an Antifreeze bottle with a taped on label. This is the antithesis of presentation for whiskey.

Glenlivet, you shitin me son? I'm not even mad you like Glenlivet the most (I think it's the best light Scotch I've had) but the fact that there is one you overall like best, Scotch whiskeys is such a developed and wide field.

I believe they all offer a sufficiently developed and individual experience that they all need to be accounted for.

I'm looking to try something new. Can someone recommend a Japanese whiskey in the $50-75 range. Something along the lines of a bourbon would be perfect. Thanks!

Woodford is a good, but it really depends on my mood...Glenlivit...no. Just no. You're new, aren't you. Try some Redbreast.

Just bought Laphroaig based on the suggestion and seeing it a few times in whiskey threads. It's bretty good, but jesus christ does it clean your pipes if you drink it straight.

Also enjoyed a cohiba paqena with it. The laphroaig is smokey as fuck so it's a good combo.
