I have the Gentleman Jack, and it is a very nice whiskey. I imagine the single barrel knocks the heat up a notch.

I like to pair Bourbon with my cigars mostly Woodford Reserve, I havent tried alot of Scotch because I cant justify spending $50-$75 on a bottle that I dont know if I will enjoy.

I hear you. It seems like there is a lot more GREAT bourbons in the $25-$30 range than there are Scotches. In general, the blended scotches are not really suitable for sipping, and the single malts seem to really start at around $35-$40. McClelland's has some $20 single malts, but they are not very spectacular.

So far, my favorite Scotches are The Macallan 12, Glenlivet 12, Talisker 10. Anyone have one that I MUST try that is in the <$50 range?

Those are the only two that I like with just a couple cubes. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

I will! Unfortunately, I think our good liquor store is still under water!

I have had a bottle of the Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve, and I really enjoyed it. That is a $55 bottle 'round here.

I have the Wild Turkey 101, but for some reason I am not a big fan of that one. I wonder if I would be more into the Rare Breed?

I missed putting Vodka on my poll. I know there are some serious vodka lovers out there. How well does Vodka go with cigars?

I'm just a tequila nut but it's got to be an excellent Reposado or an Anejo tequila. I had enough pepe lopez in college.

I can't help a whole lot with how well it goes with cigars, because I'm new to them. But a classic cran vodka was very nice with one I had.
