if you are looking for whiskey: Westward, Dickel, Clemens, 6666, Tincup, Heavens door, Westland, Balcones or Bear fight are good options.
If its Bourbon: Highwest, Redwood empire, smoke wagon, Penelope, Remus, Pursuit, Old forester, Michters, Russell’s, Dancing panda, Lasso, Hirsch,Four roses, Basil Hayden are all good to decent options
For Scotch: monkey shoulder, Glenfiddich, Drambuie, Aberlour, Brenne, Dewars, Glenlivet and Singleton are good options
for Irish whiskey: Jameson, Writters tears, Red Breast, Slãint, and Whistler are decent picks.
For Japanese whisky: Toki (white or black) kikori and Nikka and Sato Hiki are good Japanese picks
For Canadian Whisky: Pendleton, crown, black velvet, Pike Creek and forty creek are decent options.
I tried going with options I have not seen in the comments and I tried to make sure very few was MGP or other white label distilleries. Also I was aiming in the 30ish to 60ish USD range.
Have you tried any Australians, specifically Tasmanians. I have a half dozen names I could throw out but not sure how far out of Australia they have name recognition. Well besides the Springbay but that’s nowhere near the price range these days.
Yep, they don’t want the competition. In “dry” counties where selling booze is illegal, the party stores a county over tend to donate politically to keep it that way.
As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.
I mean and it’s terrible whiskey
Fuck them then, I’m taking reccomendations in the price range!

Solid reccomendations, thank you! I haven’t tried about 60% of the list, I’ll see what the nearby stores have and get sampling!
Goddamnit, you reminded me Glenfiddich exists and my bottle ran out ages ago. You monster. <cries while purchasing>
(not an alcoholic, you’re not a monster, just to be clear, I just love the occasional sip of that one, it was my grandfather’s favourite.)
There a beautiful 12year I’ve seen out…enjoy the drink!
Japanese whiskeys are nice. Suntory and Nikka Days make pretty good mixers but if you wanna sip there’s always Hibiki.
Happy cake day! I thought about including Hibiki but most prices I see on it start around $50+ but I totally agree, good sipping.

How the eff is that even possible? One producer of a vice is criminalising another vice??
