  • I respectfully disagree, with the caveat that alcohol prices are highly location dependent. $25-50 will get you a great bottle of bourbon, rye, rum, cognac, etc. You’re right that aging drives up the price but you’ll be in good company for the majority of aged spirits. Exceptions being scotch and Irish whiskey but just barely. And even then you can find really good bottles in that price range for both if you know what you’re looking for. 100% agree that the fancy stuff is usually inflated due to marketing and other associated pap


  • Liquor in general. Don’t buy the cheapest shit on the shelf, go for the 25-50 range and you’ll be set. Unless it’s something you’re passionate about and enjoy exploring there’s no need to spring for the expensive booze. Liqueres and assorted (non liquor) cocktail ingredients on the otherhand… go for the genuine article. 99% of the time you’ll still be in that 25-50 range so I hardly see a point in being cheap with them
