whisky under $60 that earns its price
every one of these beats a blend at the same price point, not just "decent for the money." neat, always.

01
Speyburn 10 Year
the everyday dram, a little sherried without asking sherry prices
02
Tullibardine Sovereign
no age statement, drinks older than it is, around $30
03
The Famous Grouse
04
Naked Grouse
the sherried upgrade over the Famous Grouse, worth the extra $15
05
Auchentoshan American Oak
lowland, no peat, the bottle I hand to someone who says they "don't like scotch"
06
Bunnahabhain 12
unpeated Islay, richer than the price tag suggests. closer to $55 depending on the store
07
Compass Box Great King Street Artist's Blend
a blend built by people who actually care about blending, and it tastes like it. this is the one I'd defend hardest on this list
08
Powers Gold Label
Irish, pot still spice, converts bourbon drinkers faster than anything else here
09
Bushmills Black Bush
mostly sherry cask, punches well above its ~$30 price
