Recommendations

​Based on previous tastings, discussions, YouTube
experts & bang for your buck
Islay Scotch

Laphroaig 10 Year

$29.00

Ranked 2nd in the Islay tasting and half the price of most, if you enjoy your scotch a wee bit peaty & smokey, the Laphroaig 10 is a good buy.

Irish Whiskey

Redbreast 12 Year

$58.99

Ranked very high in the Irish whiskey tasting,this single pot still is worth every penny. 

Blended Scotch

Johnnie Walker Gold

$75.99

Although Gold Label Reserve is by no means the cheapest blended scotch, many preferred it over the more expensive Blue Label.

American Whiskey

Del Bac Dorado Mesquite

$44.99

If you enjoy mesquite flavored smoke in a smooth whisky, this Del Bac won't disappoint! For an added bonus, it's distilled right here in Tucson.

Bourbon on Ice

Elijah Craig Small Batch

$26.99

This very reasonably priced Kentucky straight held up very well to our large ice cube test.
