We raised a quarter of rye last year. I'd never tried rye whiskey before so on a lark a bought a bottle of midrange rye. It's now my favorite whiskey! Nothin' better than a glass of good rye and a good cigar in the evening!
What are you drinking?

There's a Monkey Shoulder rye that's really good. Our costco used to have it but I haven't seen it in a few years now

Elijah Craig rye is good. Michters rye is even better. Michthers single barrel, barrel strenth rye is supreme but out of my price range at over $200 if you could find one.
The closer you get to the sources, the more available and less expensive good whiskey seems to be (sometimes).
Vegas is just to far away and touristy to get good pricing.
Blantons is over $100 if you can find one. Yet i hear others paying $40 in the midwest.

just because you dont like makers dont discount wheated whiskey/bourbons. weller green label is a perfect example. or red label (107) if you can find it.
the green drinks well above its price point - at least if you can get it at the normal $30 a bottle and your spot isnt marking it up like they do around here... i bring it back from ohio when i'm down there for that reason. now if i was paying michigan marked up prices at $60 or more... no way in h#ll... its not worth all that. but it sure is some real smooth bourbon and makes a mean old fashioned.

I have cut way back on Bourbon and whiskey. Twice in my life I have stumbled into REALLY GREAT DEALS. Once in Wyoming got 2 fifths of some really good Tequila simply because the store couldn't seem to get rid of it.The cowboys didn't want it.that Macallan 18 is right around $400 a bottle, its good
The other was a fifth of The Macallen 21yt old. $175.00
Because it was the most expensive thing in that place even after it's price had been reduced. I had to ask the man if he would please remove the heavy coat of dust, LMAO. I couldn't get my money out fast enough.
Talk about smooth. Drank it slow as to savor every bit.
Impressed a few skeptical friends when they ask what did you do for New Year's? My reply was I spent it with a 21 year old. LOL If they only knew.

I won't drink Makers Mark. But I cook with it.
My peach cobbler is one of a kind.
Been thinking about using it it one of my Sweet Potato pies.

Has anyone here done some Moonshine? I have tried several and found Popcorn Sutton too be the best.
Only found it in Tennessee. Very smooth but like a slow train coming.

My daughter brought some kind of moonshine-saturated cherries to a sheep hunt in January. Delicious. Dangerous, but delicious.
I liek Makers Mark ok
My daughter is a bit of a moonshine fan, around here they it in all sorts of flavors
