Hendrick's in the gin category and far too many to list for bourbons and scotches. What is your preferred price point?

$40-$60
Four Roses Single Barrel - $40; W.L. Weller 12 year - $28-30; Blanton's - $50. Those are my usual go-to bourbons. Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 - $65-70ish; Balvenie Doublewood 12 year - $55ish.

You can get a bottle of macallan 12 yr which is a scotch and very good IMO for about 55-60

GIN f dat shite it only has one use to me mosquito repellant(trust me it is very effective) buy a cheap handle and rub it on exposed skin and watch the little bastards run in fear. Bourbon and Scotch in either small batch or single malts have a bunch of names to pick from, for the value/taste factors involved Knob Creek and Balvenie Doublewood.

I like gin and whiskey too. Favorite gins are Hendricks beefeater, beef24. Fav whiskeys are glenlivet 15 and macallen. I like buffalo trace, wood ford, and Russell's for bourbon go to's. I like expensive stuff too, these are just my bar stock that I usually find myself picking up and enjoying.

Smooth ambler and deaths door gin have been two more recent discoveries of mine that are delicious. Both are US products and smaller batches. Really worth looking into and not too expensive.

There are tons of good bourbons btw $25-35. Although, most of BR is currently out of most of them. For a good full flavored gin, I like Citadel. Inexpensive and delicious

I have tried the best of the best when it comes to Bourbon yet all I drink is Knob Creek! Money is no object for me when it comes to getting my buzzes and I also choose cheap Knob Creek because it tastes the best and gives the best buzz IMO

Hendrick's is all I drink as of late. About to make a martini right now.

I like many other gins, but it's my favorite.

When I go cheaper than Hendricks, it's usually Tanqueray. Only when there's a special or the place doesn't have Hendricks.

I hear Beefeater is a goodie. It's a London dry like Bombay Sapphire though. Hendricks is a plymouth gin.

I'm just now learning my gins, but apparently there's a noticeable difference. And supposedly, London dry is the "best" .. but I prefer Hendricks over Bombay Sapphire, so I need to research more on London dry.
