_MG_4097A request was made recently for me to provide a comprehensive list of quality scotches priced under $100. While I thought it was a reasonable request, when I went to formulate the list as it pertains to my favorites, I found that I was struggling. There are several that aren’t too bad, but so many more are hovering above the $100 mark that my better advice would be to simply save your money and get one of those. Nevertheless, I did manage to put together a top fifteen list for your enjoyment. In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, all of them fall below $75.

All of the whiskies listed below are considered “regulars” in my home. It’s just a list, though. If you want to read about the particular details involved with each edition mentioned, I’ve already done that. Each is a link to the appropriate review.

Again, they’re all worthy of your time, for sure, but I did take the time to put them in order of preference, with number one being my favorite.

Enjoy.
