I don't listen to the haters, blanton's sb is a good low proof sipper regardless of what the taters say.
Once you go high proof, you don't go back, unless it's for sipping and you've run out of high proof.

I absolutely LOVE this one. It's aged in Bourbon, Oloroso, and Sherry casks. Absolutely delicious, and goes well with a good cigar.

This is a great bottle, 10 year, 100 proof, not too low or too high, used to be really hard to find but you can get it for 65 bucks. Great flavor profile and easy to drink.

As a general rule, if I see two bottles of whiskey by the same maker, I'll grab the bonded / bottled in bond just due to being 100 proof or above. There's generally so much more flavor depth there.

Now were talking my favorites
Balvenie double wood
Talisker
Isle of Jura
Lagavulin
Laphroaig
Highland Park
Caol ILa
Edradour
Old Elgin
Pulteney

And many more ( I have a life membership to friends of the single malt)

My Favorite supping one is Monkey Shoulder.

I have a few books and the best ones are
Jim Murray's Irish Whiskey almanac
Wallace Milroy's Malt Whisky almanac
I have the 5th edition and great tasting notes in it.

That's a wonderful bottle that is always overpriced, but if you kind it close to msrp, worth a pickup for sure.
You can pick that up for ~$30-40 . Not that it sits on shelves past day 1 or 2. Just gotta go to the liquor store daily like a real enthusiast.

I did not read through many of these comments, but I did skim over them lol
I'll say hands down, my absolute favorite whisky is "Woodford Reserve Double Oaked". The price/taste is unbeatable in my opinion!

It's a good call, but there are so many good choices out there and better choices for way under 200 bucks

@Cigar_Guy97 , way better choices out there for the $$$. Woodford has become way overpriced. Old Forester is a good option for less $$$.
Just had a pour of bombergers, 100 bucks, kinda hard to find but very easy to drink
