Guess we need a parallel Whiskey thread.

Never heard of IWAI or these guy's.

It's OK, different. Really like high Rye bourbons or whiskey.

I’ve really been enjoying Lonehand whiskey, especially for the price!

I guess I'm a chump then but I prefer to think of myself as refined. I'm also not an alcoholic so if I spend 50-100 on a bottle of bourbon (which is one of the cheaper whiskies in general) it lasts for months with the occasional pull several times a week. Something I always tell people though is that you can find a pretty darn good bottle of Bourbon for under 40 bucks but good luck with cheap scotch/tequila/gin/or mezcal. If you want to spend 100K on a single bottle Im sure there is a scotch out there for you.
Huge fan of Weller and the wheated bourbons. Pappy is washed up/hyped up bourbon that is way over priced on the secondary and not really even worth its sticker price of $70's-100.
I like most of the High West stuff and like most of the Heaven Hill offerings. Being on the west coast, we are more limited in what we can get...but the flip side is that some more of the harder to find stuff is readily available (helps to also be friends with the owners of several liquor stores for those limited releases like Pappies, BT Antique Collection, Wellers (Antique 107 or 12 year, not the horrible 'special reserve'). Being a distiller I always try to support the little guys and have found some pretty decent micro distilled bourbons. Oregon Spirit Distillers has a great cask strength bourbon for example. High Wire makes a pretty cool fairly un-bourbon like bourbon with heritage Jimmy Red corn that's pretty tasty.

I don't limit myself to bourbon though and will drink the shit out of really peated scotch (lagavulin, ardbeg, Octomore, laphroaig, Coalila in that order usually but damn spendy compared to bourbon). I also have just been, in the last several years, really digging a number of very small batch Mezcals and tequilas.

That's my problem...I just like drinking the stuff. It's a Kentucky thing

I agree with most on that list, then again everyone has their own opinions and preferences. To be fair, if I’m travveling and the selection is slim I’ll grab a Wild Turkey 101, solid bottle for $26.

Much better than synthehol, but I prefer Romulan ale.
