Whiskey Under 50
by Champagne on a beer budget
July 3, 2025 7:00 pm
Three novices, with very different tastes, try whiskeys (and whiskies, for you Scotch lovers) that can be purchased for less than $50 — searching for the elusive top shelf whiskeys at a bottom shelf price. These are not whiskey pros but rather a group of friends who just love getting together to banter and taste a new whiskey. The world is full of cheap, mediocre whiskeys, but they also stumble on some gems and guide the listener to what’s worth searching out.
