I know asking for opinions is opening a can of worms. Stocking my bar and looking for suggestions for the best/smoothest after hunt/shoot bourbon and scotch. Try to keep under $75.00 a bottle. Go for it guys.
Thanks

Laphroaig Select easy to find $50. For $100, and worth every penny, Lagavulin Offerman. Get it right now. It will not last long if it isn't sold out already.

Dedicated whisky/whiskey drinker here. Counterpoint: Rye. Pikesville, if you can find it. If not, Lot 40, if you can find it. Might be half the price. Or Michter's rye. Might be easier for you.
Bourbon? Wild Turkey 114 is delicious. As is plain old Buffalo Trace, bottled at collegial strength.
Don't get me started on Scotch malts. I'll be banned for hijacking the forum.

A subject close to my Heart though with limited disposable income. Blended Whiskey I will recommend so I will start with Sheep Dip not a good name for a Whiskey but the bottle contents far better than the name, Jonny Walker Red Label, Famous Grouse. And from the Emerald Isle Bush Mills. On a more extravagant note Islay Whiskies single Malts for Christmas.

Any of these will work. I’m lucky to live smack down in the middle of bourbon country.

Woodford Reserve has recently become my favorite bourbon.
I'm not a big fan of Scotch though.

If you want smooth and don't care about impressing with name brand Costco has a large bottle of blended Scotch for $20 that is wonderful for the price. They also have a 15 year single malt that is great at about $35. The Irishman is a blend of Scotch and irish and is very good but will be about $50. I am not a big Rye drinker but had Basil hayden after a quail hunt last year and it was remarkable. When you get ready to splurge Balvene triple cask is a top choice but last I checked it was $150

Famous Grouse and Old Forrester are my go-to favorites. If you want something different, try aged dark rum. I picked up a 15 year old Matusalem from the Dominican Republic for $27 at the local ABC store. Try that with whiskey/whisky. It’s delicious.

My daddy said drinking Scotch just proves you can cultivate a taste for shixt if you eat enough of it. Regular folks down here don't make much difference between Bourbon and Tennesse sour mash, so Jack Daniel Black is pretty popular, and the better do it yourselfers still have a discriminating clientele.
