What's a good, affordable whiskey? im a college student who usually drinks jack but im bored and wanna get drunk off something different

>> No.11540520

Just pure gran spirits, or maybe cheap wines. Once I have the occasion, I drink a bottle of wine from ALDI. THe store brand wine is like 2.99 a bottle, and I think they have boxed version thats even cheaper.

Wild turkey 101 is cheap and a huge step up from jack. Four roses small batch is under $30, I think, and it's pretty good. I'm not very knowledgeable about bourbons but that's probably your best option for cheap whiskey.
