    What is the best value liquor? What's the best value vodka, whiskey, scotch, tequila, bourbon, etc?

    I don't mean what's a decent cheap brand so much as which drinks taste much better than their price point?

    I've only found one good value drink and it's a tequila: Espolon Reposado

    It's very cheap ($20-25 for 750 mL) but is significantly better than anything in its price point. I have no need to try any other tequila because it's that good.

    So, CF, what are your recommendations?

    I have found that for cheaper Scotch, Chivas Regal is far superior to Dewar's or the other blendeds. I prefer single malt though, when I can get it.

    Polish Potato vodkas like Luksusowa. Very inexpensive and tastes great.

    For mixed tequila drinks, I would go with Milagro Silver. Not super cheap, but affordable.

    I find that 40 Creek whiskey is a nice alternative to Crown Royal.

    The Polish Vodka's with foreign lettering are usually good bang for the buck. I also like this Austrian one called Monopolowa
