Dont waste your money. I can suggest far better and far less expensive

That was the only example I could give. Like I said, I really like mixed drinks so why spend more than 10 dollars for a fifth of whiskey when I mixing cola with it?

This is just a fantastic classic porter

If you want a scotch to mix, try Monkey Shoulder

I'm talking hypotheticals. Is Monkey Shoulder 10 dollars a fifth?

Scotch is the only liquor I refuse to drink on the cheap, which is the reason I don't drink it very often.

But when you mix it with cola does it really matter? I can't tell the difference between 5 dollar and 50 dollar whiskey when it's inside a mixed drink.

Just over $20
A quality bottle of booze will even help a mixed drink. One of the few mixed drinks I enjoy is an Old Fashioned and trust me a quality whiskey like Knob Creek makes a difference

Is it a higher percentage? I don't see how the same proof whiskies would make a difference. I'm not buying a 20 dollar bottle of whiskey because it makes the mixed drinks .1 percent better tasting. I mainly taste the cola.

I would agree with this with Knob Creek, but you can also tell the difference because it's a 100 proof.

I guess I might have buried the lead here but I mainly don't like the taste of alcohol besides beer or schnapps and I no longer drink schnapps.

$32 to $35 depending on where you buy it. But, for mixing with cola, I would stick with bourbon. I personally like Monkey Shoulder with just bit of ice. There are certainly better scotchs, but it's very solid for the price. But, I don't ever drink scotch with anything more than ice in it.

If you want bourbon that is a bit better go with Buffalo Trace or Bulleit. They are both around $20 per fifth. And I do think you can taste a slightly better bourbon even with cola, but somewhere around $20 per bottle, there is no point in paying more than that to mix with cola.

To me the best combination of price and quality for mixing is either Buffalo Trace or Jim Beam White Label.

Well yeah an Old Fashioned is a crafted mixed drink. If you are drowning it with coke it dont make much difference

I think I'll stick to Early Times which is 9.99 a fifth or even Heaven Hill which is 6.99 I think, maybe 7.99.

I was pretty open about the fact that I like mixed drinks.

Thats specifically why i like Knob Creek in an Old Fashioned...it doesnt get lost or watered down as easy
