While checking out my local BWS on the (very) off-chance of scoring some cheap Talisker I found this gem. George Dickel is, IMHO, an underrated American whiskey that punches far above its weight. Very smooth and full of flavour, and a bit sweeter from the corn used in the mash. I actually prefer the Old No. 8 over the Old No. 12, which is more expensive, as I find the No. 12 to be a little bit astringent. At this price it's worth checking out, at the very least it'll be great for mixers.
Dickel haha, might as well get jim beam.
Some varying views on the Dickel. :) Put me down for a "+1", I would rate it more Makers Mark then (urghh!) JB! :)
Lately though, I have been digging on the "Old Number 15" stuff from Fassina. Excellent bourbon for the price in my humble opinion.
Mixers at $47 a pop?
A mixer you will forget
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad.
Aldis the best bang for buck with spirits, the budget gin at liquorland which will finish soon is the Vickers for $33, that's tasty, and castle rock 500ml for $20 is good value for something that can be tasted neat and not be totally awful, Johnny red is worse
Here's your best bourbon - Blanton's Original Private Single Barrel. DM have it down to $64 with membership. So smooth. Nothing cheap or nasty about it

You could apply your $10 off(targeted), if you haven’t used it already.
