You can spend as much as you want on a bottle of whiskey, but a high price tag doesn’t necessarily guarantee quality. Sure, a plastic handle of corn whiskey on sale for ten bucks is never going to turn out well, but you don’t have to mortgage your house to get a memorable bottle of bourbon or rye that’s just as good straight as with a splash of soda or a dash of quality bitters. We’ve found five whiskeys that deliver great taste and high quality for under $100 — perfect for a special occasion, a gift for someone you (really, really) like, or just a way to treat yourself after a long work week.
