Try Red Breast 12. Very smooth.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Getting into reloading to save money is like getting married for free sex.

I think most of us went through a trial and error phase and still do. I drank JW Black Label for years then drank all of the JW offerings. Then I branched out into single malts. I used Total Wines reviews as a guide and haven't been disappointed. There are some (Edradour and Auchentosian for example) I tried that were "meh" and I didn't go back to them. Some like Macal lan 12 Sherry cask were good but when it went up by 33% in one year I didn't think it was worth it. There are some good ones out there that don't break the bank but you have to figure out what you like.

From what you have stated I would suggest the Balvenie Double Cask. Smooth, very smooth and a touch of sweetness.

Buy some samplers if you don't want to spring for a fifth while experimenting.

101 Wild Turkey
If they put it in a fancy bottle, and charged 50% more, it would be even more popular.
Look at any reviews it always makes the list,usually as a tremendous bargain.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Pendleton, easy drinking and cheap enough to try without breaking the bank.

Jeebus H Kites. You guys keep telling him about high-octane, high-dollar, premium booze. EXACTLY the opposite of what he is looking for.
He is not a seasoned, debonair, sophisticated drunk like you guys.

Cheap stuff will just give you a hangover. And you don't drink as much (usually) if you know a dram cost you $10.

My neighbors and I are doing a tasting of whiskeys / bourbons to decide a favorite or learn the differences in each. Here’s what we have so far.
1. Wild Turkey 101
2. Makers Mark
3. Yellowstone
4. George Dickell
5. Buffalo Trace
Any other recommendations? Good ol' Evan Williams black label.
