I like good whiskey (Scotch or Irish), but that usually means stuff that runs $60-$80 (or more) for a bottle. I only drink it straight (or with a splash of water), rather than in a cocktail, and so, I don’t like less-expensive whiskies very much. If offered it by a well-meaning friend, I’ll drink it, but I won’t enjoy it nearly as much as one of my preferred brands.
