What are some whiskies that have a lot of quality and are easily available, with a price range of $40-$140? I got a job within the last year as a programmer making triple what I used to, so I have more money to spend on whiskey. I normally drink wild Turkey 101 or makers mark, but I also love rye whiskey (I occasionally buy whistlepig 6 year and 10 year love both of those). I also lived in Japan for a long time and love Japanese whiskey as well.

Recommendations?

Four roses small batch is 35-40 at costco and hits well above that price point.

I’ve had it before at a bar and loved it didn’t realize it was that affordable!

I’m a huge fan of the Old Forester whiskey row series, but especially the 1920 Prohibition Style. Elijah Craig barrel proof if you. And fine it is also outstanding and is about 60-70 msrp, I believe.

But really in that price range, I’d start looking for private barrel picks.

For everyday Ryes, I'm a big fan of Michter's, High West Rendezvous Rye, and the new Bulleit 12 Year Rye (it's MGP juice). For Bourbon, I've been enjoying Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat (the Rickhouse proof stuff is only like $80, and you can order online). Can't go wrong with Four Roses Single Barrel or ECBP like others above have said

Yeah same. I forgot about wild turkey in general but have gotten back into them recently. So much flavor and mouthfeel

Michter’s American (not to be confused with their bourbon). Goes down dangerously easy and I always see it on the shelf at around $40.

I bought Woodford double oaked and really enjoyed it. I love whistlepig. I am not a huge Buffalo trace fan for whatever reason just doesn’t taste as good to me. Just for reference :)

The middle tier of the Buffalo Trace line is where it starts to get good IMO - EHT Single Barrel (big step up from small batch to me) and Stagg trade for about $180 where I live and both are favorites for me.

I love all the Barrell and Penelope products, which I know are MGP, but dang they're good. Also, Rabbit Hole and Redwood Empire but they might be a little less available.

I’m a fan of Irish whiskies (single pot distilled). Red Breast 12 ($70-80) and Yellow Spot ($120-130) are fantastic in my opinion and the price for both are fair for the product.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is one of the best bottles you can get at $50 or less. Always available.
