| About a month ago I picked up a bottle of Kentucky Gentleman. $16.95 per 1.75L (regularly $17.95).
It is actually decent! Makes a great mixer. |

| These booze threads always go the same way. OP asks about bottom shelf and half the people mention $30-40 brands. |

| R&R. Tastes just ever so slightly different than Crown at about 1/3 the cost. $20 for 1.75L whereas Crown is ~$60. When I was in Maine last month we bought a jug for $12.99! If I were to ever move to Maine it would be for the lack of liquor taxes.

| I found the liquor prices not too bad in Maine but much better across the border in NH at the state liquor store. |

| Not sure if we can trust the opinion of you guys from Maine since coffee flavored brandy is considered the state drink! Just kidding. |

It's the law.
| While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. |

| Old Overholt is darn good and I believe it is the oldest brand of whiskey in the US.

This is my "go to" rye. Nice and spicy. Up in Maine it was like $18 but down here in NC it is about $23. I prefer it to the much more expensive rye's. |

| Tullamore Dew. Blended Irish Whiskey. Last time I bought it was a bit more than $25/fifth. Very tasty. Surprisingly smooth. For bourbon and rye: New Holland Artisan Spirits Beer Barrel Bourbon and Beer Barrel Rye run about $30/fifth and are my favourite bourbon and rye.

I have recently tried the McKenna 10 year old 100 proof and found it to be quite tasty, but not bottom shelf bourbon. I plan to give the "entry level" McKenna bourbon a try on my next visit to Wine and More Store. |

If you ever get the chance try Costco’s house branded Canadian. It’s around 18 for a 1.75 IIRC and it’s anazing.

| The only thing better than good whiskey is good cheap whiskey. I bought a bottle of Kirkland (that's right, COSTCO) Canadian whiskey and had a few of my friends blind taste test it against Canadian Club 12 year. All chose COSTCO at 1/2 the price. |

| I wouldn't quite call it "bottom shelf," as I reserve that for Kentucky Gentleman and Old Crow, but Evan Williams 1783 is a great bargain option. $15/fifth or so and very drinkable.
