Killer robot posted:Any particular recommendations for rye whiskey? I've had Jim Beam, Wild Turkey, and Old Overholt, but the larger liquor stores around here are getting a wider variety these days and I'm not sure what to try out. Especially since so much tends to be in the premium price range. Rittenhouse BIB is drat good for the money. If you're looking for something to sip and you don't mind spending a bit more, look for some of the rarer Sazerac bottlings, particularly Thomas Handy and Saz 18. Wild Turkey Rye actually won in the blind rye taste I participated in awhile back, but only because one reviewer REALLY disliked the Thomas Handy, otherwise that would have won by a pretty fair margin. Old Overholt came in dead last - its biggest selling point is availability, cost, and that it's been around forever.

A friend of mine is looking to add a couple bottles of whisk(e)y to her shelf in the near future. I've got bourbon covered, but what's a good middle of the road (read: not Islay) scotch in the $50 range? Normally I'd think Macallan or maybe a Glenmorangie but I'm not a huge scotch drinker - she likes scotch, recently got a promotion and is looking to treat herself after being primarily a JW Black drinker.
