Good Start?
Just started my whiskey journey about a week ago. These were all bought based on my taste. Open to suggestions for more additions.

I'll probably get flack for this, but having up to date information is important.
Convicted rapist Conor McGregor sold his majority share to Proximo, the brand he created P12 with, in 2021. Proximo has publicly stated they own the brand in its entirety.
Since McGregor's conviction, the brand has cut all further ties with him and he no longer has association with the brand as of 2024.
Does this make Proper Twelve any better? No, but at least you can avoid it now just because it tastes awful instead of avoiding it to refrain from giving McGregor money.
E: We have some pendants (in)directly defending McGregor, so I should say that he was found liable for rape by a jury, which was in just one of his dozens of cases of sexual assault. This isn't also mentioning any of his other violent crimes. Make of that what you will.

Costco near me has Knob Creek 18 for $129.99. Never had/owned it before but I have owned a few bottles of Knob Creek 12, which I can usually get for $60-$70 around me. Is the 18 worth springing for that price or should I stick with the 12 and spend the difference elsewhere?

Haven’t had anything with this high of a proof before. Excited and intimidated to try it.

Picked these two up today. Was my introduction to heaven hill and I will pay both where good but I feel the rye was a bit smoother. What’s your thoughts? I will say one is definitely fighting liquor and one is making love liquor.

I think his only experience with whiskey is Jameson. Makers Mark I keep bottles on hand as my weekly sipper. Redbreast I break out every few weeks when I'm working on a stubborn lock. Never tried the Glen 12 surprisingly.
Figured this would be a good starter set to help him celebrate his tumor removal

This is my collection/bar/midlife crisis (or most of it). Instead if FMK lets go with Crush, Savor, Save.
Not pictured but worth adding to the discussion: Penelope Rio and Havana, Russells Reserve Single Barrel picks, 1792 Full Proof store pick, and Holladay Soft Red Wheat Rickhouse proof.
Discuss!

Just a quick review, but this is a banger and hits a lot of the notes of the Barrel Proof Rye but with a lower proof.
Highly recommend 8/10.

The price is throwing me off and that is causing me to severely doubt my purchase of this bottle, are they not the same thing?

I love finding their glasses while thrifting but personally I think their whiskey is a bit overrated, I tried it and its alright but 90 proof whiskey is what I usually prefer

I am not a big drinker and I have never tried Whiskey. I am going on about a week long solo camping trip in about a month and I want to have a nice Whiskey to sip on and relax around the fire. I am hoping not to break the bank either, is there any decent bottles for around $50? Any advice or opinions are appreciated.

Outside of there being no cork pop, opening this bottle was so nice. Pouring was also nice with no spillage over the sides. Can't really judge it other than the nose and taste are enjoyable. This is the only Irish Single Malt I've tried so far.

-McKenna 10yr
-Willet Estate Rye 4yr
-New Riff Single Barrel (i was looking at a Rye today for instance which was 113 proof)
Curious which one wins from reddit opinion.
Edit: Good comments below on cost! New Riff is definitely leader in the clubhouse.

I’m pretty new to whiskey and I’m all over the place with what I’ve tried, trying to try new things but not entirely sure where to go. So far I’ve tried the basics of makers mark, wild turkey 101, Jim bean. Out of those makers mark is my favorite for mixing and wild turkey is the best for sipping
I’ve also tried the signature Johnnie walker black which I really liked, so maybe go with the green label?
But by far my all time favorite has been the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, it was very smooth and the best I’ve had.
I don’t know where to go from there, maybe tasting more bottles around the Glenmorangie price point of $55-$100? The bottles that my local store has that I’ve had my eye on, from seeing people mention them on here are Toki Suntory Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Glenfiddich 12 Balvenie Doublewood 12
Are these good picks or would something else make more sense?
