What's your favorite Whisky brand?

I mean they could've had the decency to put the whisky in glass bottles or premix cans like in alcohol vending machines in Japan.
Imagine being old enough to buy a drink but not being allowed to have it in a glass bottle because you don't have your glass bottle license.

Whatever's cheapest

I glanced at the OP image and honestly don't give a shit about what bongs are up to, but the question itself caught me off guard. If asked I'd say I drink vodka, beer, and whiskey - in that order - but I have no idea what whiskeys I'd even recommend if someone asked me, probably because I'm too much of a poorfag and usually just drink vodka because I'm al/ck/. I like bourbon, and think bulleit is pretty solid (I'd compare it to Kettle One, if I were to compare vodkas to whiskeys). After that I like Scotch, but haven't bought a bottle in years. I liked the really peaty shit from Islay or wherever, but can't blow money on sipping shit these days so can't remember any names.

I haven't seen much of a reason for brand loyalty in spirits.
I like Ardbeg. I've tried the An Oa which is too expensive and adds little / subtracts from the 10.
I like Aberlour A'bunadh. It's wildly too expensive for an unaged offering. $140 AUD. Reviews say the 12 is mild in comparison (40% vs 60%) and it's also way expensive.
I'm drinking a Glen Moray 15 at the moment. It's great. The unaged variant was garbage.

Maybe the blends have more luck, but their non-base offerings step on the toes of single malts.

This. Whiskey sales vary the price by like 20%. There aren't too many whiskey's that wouldn't be the best if they were in a lower price bracket.

There's a million different ways glass bottles in a machine designed that way would be a disaster waiting to happen.
>bottles shatter in the tray
>if they don't, they'll smash the tray into a dented mess by falling on it
>some drunk cunt would take a bottle he just bought and smash the front window for more free whiskey
>if the bottles themselves don't smash the window from the inside due to being packed wrong or just falling down the wrong way
There's probably a better way to build the machine and keep glass bottles, but it'd be expensive.

Japanese whisky/sake/wine/alcohol vending machines have soft foam on the bottom, and they put the glass bottles on the bottom shelf.
Sometimes they have like a plastic slide-like thing that comes out and slows down the fall.
