Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.

Huh, that's probably my favorite of the cheap whiskeys. I'm usually mixing it though. [Reply]

I go Wild Turkey 101 for bottom shelf.
If I am going to go cheap then I am going full hobo. [Reply]

Yea, I should have said always mixing it.
I never drink Jim Beam straight. I actually like the Evan Williams green label as my favorite cheap whiskey, but I can't find it in Phoenix like I could up north. [Reply]

You could probably throw enough lemon into a beam and water combo to make it work on a summer day. I just don't care for cheap whiskeys all that much anymore. Got my fill in college. Still drink black velvet with the father in law every once in a great while. That's about it anymore. [Reply]

So true! I love just throwing in some fresh squeeze lemon juice and poor some whiskey over some rocks.
I planted a Meyer Lemon tree and can't wait to see a decent yield in the next few years. They are supposed to pair great with whiskey as they are a bit sweeter than regular lemons. [Reply]
When I go cheap it's usually old grand dad or regular Weller's reserve. The OGD 114 isn't too bad if you don't mind the higher rye mashbill bourbons [Reply]

I will muddle some lemon rind and go on the rocks with it. Definitely a good combo. Crown and water with lemon is a dangerous combo. [Reply]
