I go to costco and buy the kirkland branded whiskeys. I use them to fill in the week of drinking and save the better whiskey for the weekends.
Bought the Rum and I was pleasantly surprised at its quality. Unfortunately, the sweetness was a little to much for me so it sat no the shelf. I recently bought the 12 year on blended scotch. This is another whiskey that is not a bad quality scotch for the cheap price but it is just a bit to much of the woody taste to it for a compelling drink I want to drink. Since I have had past experiences (pleasant) with Sherry/port/bourbon barreled scotch and rum barreled Irish whiskey, I figured I could make up my own personal blend of scotch/rum. So, I mixed a 5 to 1 ratio of scotch to rum just to soften and sweeten up the scotch whiskey a bit and damn if I do not have a great tasting blended whiskey for a cheap price.
Yes, I do spend money on good whiskey, but you would be amazed at how well some of my cheap mixes have turned out. Enjoying this shit as I type!!!
