Recommendations for $100 bottles

[Mavric]

Looking to expand my taste to see what else I may like. Never had real rye whiskey but Right now I have forecasted on Crown Royal Reserve. But I am looking for other options, What do you recommend?

Delmore is a nice scotch.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed is not a hundo but both their bourbon and Rye are outstanding. They go for about 50-75ish. They are also usually in stock at most shops which is nice.

 

[CigarStone]

If you were looking for bourbon, and you're able to find any of the Weller products they are all phenomenal!

I am particularity to whiskey but open to alternative.

Which type of whiskey are you partial to?

It’s a fairly broad term used to describe

Irish Whiskey
Scotch Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey
American Whiskey
Bourbon Whiskey
Canadian Whiskey
Japanese Whisley
Etc…..

Knowing what you drink, like or dislike could help narrow down finding you something to expand on.

Angel's Envy or Angel's Envy Rye is great stuff. Eagle Rare is another good option.

I've lost track of the price, but Balvenie Caribbean cask is also very good. I believe it's a similar price point.

If you want something different, but cheaper and good look at aged rums like zacapa centenarians negra or Appleton estate 15 or even privateer queens share if u are near northeast.

Why not get a couple solid sub $100 bottles and get twice as much for your money?

I'd pick 1792 Small Batch and either OF 1910 or 1920.

 

[Eqwhipped]

This is amazing, and right around your stated price point. Anyone who has tried this at the cigar lounge agrees it's truly fantastic.

Alright, I'm going to just throw a bunch out there. Many have been mentioned by one or two brothers already.
Angel's Envy Rye - yum, but can be too sweet at times
Barrell Seagrass
High West Rendezvous Rye
and Sagamore Double Oak Rye - one of my favorites
If you ever get into Scotch, I'll throw a bunch of suggestions at ya. For now,
Arran 10
Balvenie Doublewood 12
Compass Box Orchard House
Dalmore, Glenlivet, Glenmorangie, and Macallan are all good, but I'm not into the Dalmore or Macallan hype.
After a while if you dabble into the peated scotches, let me know as that tends to be my wheelhouse at the moment.
Try to find a local liquor store that offers tasting so you can try before you buy.
I don't know squat about rum, tequila, etc
Let us know what you end up with and what you think.

This guy knows what he's talking about.
Glenmorangie is my favorite Scotch to introduce people new to Scotch. The Nectar Dior is my current production favorite.
