Best Whiskey, Scotch, and Bourbon Under $30

[kvm]

I'll second gvarsity on the Buffalo Trace. Another one is Woodford Reserve. Both are on my regulars list.

[nozero]

I'm drinking Makers right now, it's currently my favorite but, I'm going to try Knob Creek next.

[Mr.Maduro]

3rd vote for Buffalo Trace Bourbon!!!

Some more rec's for Bourbon:

Elmer T. Lee
Elijah Craig

Both are around $25 If I remember correctly.

Also, Rittenhouse Bonded Rye 100 Proof is a steal at around $16 if your can find it.

Laphroaig and a Bolivar Coronas Extra.. YUMMY!

Great Scotch for a little over 30$ = Balvenie 10yr. mm good.

I recently picked up some Bulleit Bourbon and I think it was maybe just slightly over $30. Alabama does have some of the highest liquor taxes in America, however.

Bulleit goes for around $20-21 a bottle in PA.

I've rarely met a bourbon that I didn't like (I'll even drink the raunchy $7 a bottle stuff in a pinch), but my current favorites are Knob Creek, Elijiah Craig, and Makers Mark. For everyday purposes, I usually drink Jim Beam.

Buy as much of this as you can find if you like it as the 10 year old has been discontinued.

[novasurf]

Elmer T. Lee, of course.

What? Say it ain't so!! I am off to the liquor store to buy it up.
I like the 12yr double wood the best but the 10yr is great bang for the buck.

Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek, Makers, Elijah Craig,

Bulleit I have heard is good though I've not tried.

Bookers is a little more but excellent.

I'm still a noob in the scotch world and they seem to be more $$$ in general.

[BostonMark]

For scotch I like Johnny Walker Black (I get it duty free for $33, so maybe it doesn't count?), Bells, and Balvenie 10 yr. (Tried the 21, but it's not nearly as good.)

I really like hearing what everyone has to say, thanks and keep it up

I just got back from the liquor store, where I purchased a fifth of Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, and Woodford Reserve. I'm up to 7 bourbon's now, and I haven't had a sip of a single one in at least a month. I'll probably try a few out soon, but learning and collecting has been tons of fun. I have yet to purchase a bottle of scotch, but for some reason I usually like bourbon better anyway. Once I have my bourbon collection established, I'll move on. Thanks for all your input!
