As a whiskey drinker, I never even consider a whiskey thats not 100 proof or better. If its above 100 proof and smooth then that takes some doing and usually elevates the price, why drink anything below a hundred proof I say.
I have my favorites that ran between $55 and $250 per bottle. I discovered that my wife had been using the higher end stuff for mixing which is an abomination and should be one of the “deadly sins”. I immediately looked for a (cheap) substitute she could use.
What I found was a $19 bottle of whiskey of 100 proof that competes for straight sippin with the expensive stuff. I don’t know how or why this is, but give it a shot.
