"Whether it be part of a classic cocktail like an old fashioned, or straight from the bottle, whiskey is essential to any well-stocked bar and has many times been a key ingredient to a fun night out. It's a versatile liquor, beloved by both experienced whiskey aficionados and relative newbies who only know how to order it either 'neat' or 'on the rocks.'"
"But if your experience with whiskey essentially boils down to watching shows with high-powered executives sipping on the expensive looking beverage during business meetings, it may seem inaccessible to the common person - that is, unless you don't mind holding your nose and drinking something cheap and sure to burn as it goes down. But fear not, as you don't need to be filthy rich to find yourself drinking like Don Draper -"
Whiskey functions as both a cocktail ingredient and a straight pour, appealing to longtime aficionados and newcomers alike. Perceptions of whiskey as exclusive can make it seem out of reach, but budget-friendly bottles can provide excellent flavor without premium cost. Experienced bartenders nationwide recommended accessible whiskeys that combine quality and availability. Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond carries bartender endorsements and a government-backed Bottled-In-Bond authentication from the 1897 Act, which set production standards for quality bourbon. That expression often retails around $20 per liter, making it a reliable starting point for economical, flavorful whiskey.
