| another vote for Evan Williams. I tried it and a bottle of Old Forester and thought the Evan was a smoother sip. A very simple flavor that is obviously short-aged, but still smoother than expected. At $10.31 a fifth (including tax), I wasn't expecting to find much complexity. |

| I'd have to say Evan Williams as well. The problem is that its' sweetness becomes gagging once you've been drinking it hard for a good while.
Ever hear of Kentuicky Deluxe? That's "KD" to those unfortunates who drink it. Popular among hobos and broke-ass desperados, you might run across empty bottles under overpasses and such. I drank quite a few fifths and half pints back when I was broke. Now, I'm livin' it up with my old favorite, Jim Beam.
For a cheap scotch, try Clan MacGregor. It'll get you there. |

| Fighting Cock. 6yrs. old, 103 Proof for $16. It does need an ice cube or two to smooth it out but other than that it is pretty tasty stuff. |

| McIvor Scotch whiskey. I tried it on a whim since it was $12 and was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be keeping it around. |
