Favorite Budget Whiskey

that’s Blade & Bow

 

Yup. Has a silhouette of a keyhole and key

 

One of my top favorite whiskies I’ve had this far. Again, I’m still fairly new to this.

 

Sazerac is good stuff.

 

Some interesting additions to my list thanks!

 

I’ve not had that.

 

Three I’m trying based on recommendations. In Mississippi: Four Roses ~30, Sazerac and Basil Hayden -40 each.

 

will be trying some of these soon.

 

Are you cracking them today? Curious as to what your preferences are

 

My two favorite bottles for under $20 are Mellow Corn and Rebel. I don’t mind spending a lot more for good bourbon but I always have some of each on the shelf.

 

Thanks Canada

 

Four Roses Yellow Label and Old Forester 86 Proof

 

Forty Creek Barrel Select Canadian Whiskey. Damn it’s good. Low $20’s per bottle. Straight or over ice , just obviously my personal opinion but again it’s damnnnnn good.

 

had some Japanese Suntory Whisky in asia. great value, not sure if sold in NA

 

I’ve seen their Toki and maybe their Hibiki on shelves in the states. Never bought it, but I’ve seen some offerings.

 

Wonder how much the Hibiki goes for here. They are very smooth.

Hibiki 12 goes for $800+ and Hibiki 21 can be >$1300 in Asia

 

Buffalo Trace. $28 at my honey hole.

 

Same group that owns Buffalo trace labels (BT, Traveler's, Eagle Rare, Blanton's, EH Taylor, Stagg).

 

I try to keep around a bottle of Evan Williams Single Barrel in the house constantly. Usually can be had for sub $35.

In Massachusetts if you can find Bully Boy, not a bad second.
