Three thoughts:
Wild Turkey is the best whiskey on the list. You can’t beat that dry, woody palette. And it’s smoother than it ought to be.
Jamesons is the best Irish whisky (the standard green $24 bottle) for the price. And far superior to the Dew.
Surprise you taste buds and add Old Grand Dad Bottled in Bond. It’s darn near a Rye and comes in under $25.
“Jamesons is the best Irish whisky”
That and Bush Mills are my favorite Irish whisky and George Dickel Rye whisky.
