I have plans to suck at darts and drink a large amount of whiskey tomorrow, but don't know what to get. Anyone have any good reccomendations?
I can't spend too much but don't want to drink cheap rubbish.To give you an idea of my budget I usually buy Johnnie Walker Red.

For mass drinkage, I do Makers or Knob Rye.

Jameson? That's my go-to for whiskey and it's usually available everywhere. Personally, I know more about tequila than scotch and whiskey though.

Jamesons is actually considerably more expensive than walker red here, although it is very nice. I tend to drink Rum more than whiskey, hence me not knowing a huge amount about it.

I prefer bourbon, but you might not have access to the good shit

I tend to go for scotch or irish whiskey usually. Although the only bourbon I've tried was Jim Beam, which I didn't like that much.

A little expensive for me here, about twice what the Walker Red costs. I'm a student so I can't spend a whole lot.

Nothing wrong with JWR. Not bad for the price.

I said the good shit, not damn regular crapass Jim Beam.

If you normally drink Red Label maybe treat yourself to a good single malt, say Macallan 12.

Weird, I just checked the price at the liquor store I frequent (Binny's) and Jameson was cheaper.
Jameson $22.99
Johnnie Walker Red $23.99
Crown Royal was surprisingly cheap ($17.99) which is funny because my dad used to yell at me for mixing Crown but we mix Jameson.

Ya I knew that wasn't a very good bourbon, haven't had chance to try anything good. Mostly scotch and irish whiskeys in the UK, for obvious reasons.

A bit beyond my price range unfortunately. I can get 70cl of walker red for £15 here, the macallan is about £60.

Yeah it's a nice whiskey, especially since I can get 70cl for £15. Just fancied a change really.

If you ever see Buffalo Trace, Bulleit, or Corsair, buy a bottle.

I don't think I can get that in the UK. I can have a look at the whiskey store I sometimes go to tomorrow though. That store is difficult to go through though, they offer free samples, but it's also a fair distance from my place so I have to drive. So hard to avoid the samples...

Ah, and i understand, I would definitely have the same problem.

Jamesons is usually about £8-£10 more than red, although I just checked now and it's on offer for only about £4 more.

That is indeed a bit steep. I bought a bottle of the 18 for less than that.

Will do, I'm probably going to drive down to the whiskey store tomorrow and have a look around. Might be able to get a sample of one.

I don't drink enough whiskey to offer much opinion on brands.

Prices can get pretty bad for any drink that isn't mainstream popular or produced somewhere nearby.

I read some other comments and did not realize you were in the UK. Sorry about that.

No problemo. I probably should've put that in the post actually. I know the pats logo throws people to think im american too.

Now we're talking! I've been enjoying Teeling lately which might be a tad expensive, but I expect cheaper over there.
I think tullamore dew is pretty good too and a tad cheaper than your normal Jameson.

Tullamore dew seems very reasonably priced actually, might give that one a try. Teeling is a little more than I have to spend.

Hopefully you liked it if you gave it a shot!
