There’s a ton of good bourbon you can get almost anywhere.

Personal favorites include makers mark cask strength, jack Daniel’s single barrel barrel strength, wild turkey rare breed, and wild turkey kentucky spirit. Almost anywhere liquor store will have those.

Everyone should try Laphroig at least once. It's really good and easy drinking. It's just way over the top on smokiness. I'd love to have it once or twice a year.

As someone else mentioned, Lagavulin is great--flavorful and easy drinking without nearly as much smokiness. It's not cheap, but nor is it particularly expensive for a 16 year old single malt. You can get it for around $100.

If you aren't a prole, just stick to the staples like Pappy 23. Most places should have it (might have to ask the clerk if you're at the store) and it's better than anything these shitlawyers have recommended upthread. LJL at a self respecting attorney ordering a "Makers" at King Cole after a long day of billing in your 40th floor midtown office. Do you wear Rockports on your feet? Perry Ellis Portfolio pants? It's no wonder everyone here washed out of biglaw.

has nothing to do with canadians. american whiskey was completely dead in the 2000s. around 2012 there was a resurgence, primarily due to pappymania, which resulted in the scarcity we've seen up until recently.

stores used to *beg* me to buy their pappy and now it sells for 20x+ retail. and because whiskey needs to age (especially for the higher end stuff) supply cannot catch up with demand quickly. around 2014 the distilleries began expanding production bigly which is why we're finally seeing a resurrgence of 8+_year old american whiskey on the shelves.

gonna have to go with drunkard. if you only have one choice and limited ca$h, it should probably be turkey 101. ernest hemingway used to carry around a suitcase of the stuff when he traveled. there was a story about hemingway visiting princeton and some students meeting him at the train station to carry his luggage and take him to campus, and being surprised that one of his suitcases was heavy as fuck and full of liquor, mostly WT101.
