I am a bit of a bourbon connoisseur, and my favorite is Wild Turkey Rare Breed, which can routinely be purchased for $25-30 a bottle. I rank it as vastly better than anything else in the sub-$50 price range. In general the Wild Turkey whiskeys are worlds better than Jack Daniels, and even garden-variety Wild Turkey 101 is better than many "premium" whiskeys like Knob Creek or Maker's Mark IMO.

I used to drink a lot of Jack then went around trying different kinds of whisky. My favorite is forty creek.

Used to drink a lot of JD. Although I got a bottle of Makers Mark for the holidays. Might have to crack it open.

i've always liked Balvenie's 12.

heading to a scotch bar tomorrow for some quality thursday night drinking. should be awesome considering their list.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage is the best value I've found. very highly rated. Last time I bought a bottle, it was in the $25 range. Excellent sipping whiskey.

The Knot very good stuff.

Maker's.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Makers
Bookers
Beam Rye
Knob Creek
Wild Turkey 101
Wild Turkey Rare Breed
Beam Black is very good, especially for the price.

And then of course there is the Canadian and Irish whiskey like Crown, Bushmills, Jameson.


There are so many small distillers that it will be tough to try em all but its fun!

i prefer makers mark for bourbon whisky

basil hayden is also good.

I got a bottle of theirs for Xmas with the rodeo label on it. I ended up regifting it to a horseman/rancher I know.

Now I'm thinking that wasn't such a good idea.

Seagram's Seven is my current fave...a 7 & 7 is my drink of choice.

Delicious.

KNob Creek for a cheaper alternative
Red Breast for a very good whiskey (Irish) for the price ($40 / 750 ml in Wiscosnsin).

Jim Beam Black Label, much smoother and tastier than Jack.
