For $21,000 I'll pass. What's the best "affordable" booze you've had?

I'm a fan of crystal head vodka and with whiskey i like crown. I've had a few of the less expensive canadian whiskeys like canadian club and I like them too.

I like Jack Daniel's and Captain Morgan.

I like Knob Creek. I had some 50 year old Jim Beam recently, it wasn't aged any longer, but was bottled many years ago. It was pretty good.

I really liked the Laphroaig 15 yo

Well, the thread title is misleading. It's 70 y/o GLENLIVET. If I had that kind of money, I'd be running at this.

Bushmills is a nice blended whisky, if you're talking bang for the buck.

Woodford Reserve is about as smooth as bourbon can get. Not all that expensive either although the VIP runs about $50 for 750 ml. Worth every penny. If you've never tried it and are a whiskey aficionado, check it out.

I mostly drink Glenlivet 12. Occasionally Glenlivet 18. I have had MacAllan 25 - smooth and excellent. Saw a bottle of MacAllan 50 in a steak house - was $500 a pour. Couldn't afford that!

I'm a fan of single-malt scotch (Glenlivet in particular) but I seriously doubt my palate is sophisticated enough to appreciate a 70 year old scotch.

I have a favorite whiskey, Highland Park

I is fabricated on the Orkney Islands, which makes it the single whiskey distilled farest north. Very rich taste, not as smooth as other spirits like Glen Grant etc

Okay, I used to buy 12-year old bottles, and one day, a neighbour, who was on a sailing trip around scotland brought me a gift of a 18-year old

I can tell you that was like day and night, 6 years make a hell of a difference.

Still wondering what 25 years might do, or 30.

This is the first thing I'll buy when I hit the jackpot :drool1:

I have a bottle of that. Birthday present from my sister two years ago.

Still unopened. Saving that sucker for a special occasion.
