I've always liked Evan Williams. It's at the sweet spot where it's good enough to drink straight, but also cheap enough that I don't mind mixing it with something.

Actually, it's hardly more expensive than the cheap crap where mixing is mandatory.

The color of that is... off. Whiskey shouldn't be grapefruit-colored.

Lots of more flavorful hard liquors you can't really taste if you drink them at a speed that keeps the alcohol from getting obnoxious. Generally a little water makes this possible. In the case where making it cold also makes it harder to taste the booze there is another option other than ice.

In general most cocktails are around 20-10% alcohol by the time they're done. This is pretty much optimal. There's nothing wrong with mixing down the ABV.

Yeah, I used to really like good scotch (when I could afford it) and that's something you add water too, so you can appreciate all the flavors without having it all replaced by the taste and burn of alcohol. It only takes a splash, really.

evan williams isn't cheap. none of these suggestions for cheap whiskey are actually cheap. this is the only whiskey I can think of that even qualifies as cheap:



That looks like a bottle of urine.
