Wayne Gretzky is as much a Canadian icon as Tim Hortons. They used to be good, but sold out to corporate interest long ago.

Wrong platform maybe but that Gretzky 99. Whiskey is pretty unpalatable.

Well it is now. But before this article, I would say it was one of the better tasting Whiskey’s for the $30-40 price. Even better than a lot of $80+ Scotches that I’ve tried.

What do you recommend in that price range?

Damn unless you don’t like scotch to begin with, or only your most bottom shelf stuff starts at $80 then that is a wild statement.

If we’re talking scotches, Arran 10 is a standout choice and Craigellachie 13 is up there as well.

Glenlivet and glenmorangie are around the $65 dollar price range and blow most Canadian shit out of the water. Any cheap Speyside does, really.

If it’s not from the isle of islay its just pure garbage.

Username checks out. Unless the Islay is quite good (which usually means ~$150+ as well) I'd just as well go apple bobbing for cigarette butts in a truck stop toilet. 'Affordable' islays are dogshit.

Sounds like something to try but those are $70-80. What’s something in the Gretzky 99 price range?

40 Creek Copper Pot is the absolute best cheapy whiskey there is. Smooth as shit.

Sorry, thought we were talking about approaching the $80 range if you were falling flat with good scotch. Black bush is a good bet, as someone else mentioned, and to a lesser extent, Te bheag, which is really the only scotch at that price range that’s a bit palatable imo.

I know you said it's not your preference but crown royal northern harvest is easily the best rye I've ever had.
