    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.

      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.)

      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.

          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.
