Dewars White Label Blended Scotch Whiskey - $20
Created in 1899, Dewars White Label has won over 100 awards. Yes, it’s a blended Scotch, but at this price point you won’t find many single malts. Notes of Scottish heather and honey on the finish. A classic drink served neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water.
Johnnie Walker Red Label Blended Scotch Whisky - $22
We broke the bank and went $2 over our limit. For that extra investment you get the entry level scotch from a label known world-wide. Nobody will sneer at your Red Label. It’s the best selling scotch around the globe for good reason. It combines light whiskeys from Scotland’s East coast and more peaty versions from the West. The result is extraordinary flavor.

Jack Daniels Old No.7 - $20
Yes, this one was too easy. Sorry to disappoint you. One of the bestselling whiskeys in the country for a reason. It’s not bourbon, it’s Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey. Made from corn, rye, and barley malt then charcoal filtered. On the rocks, with a splash of water or mixed with Coke, everybody has their favorite way to drink Jack.
High Ridge Canadian - $19
Aged for six years, this proprietary blend of Canadian rye is spicy and subtly sweet. Great on the rocks or as part of a Manhattan.
Canadian Club Reserve 9 Year - $18
We first learned of this whiskey when it was served on a late night flight and there weren’t other whisky options. It quickly became a go-to selection. For drinkers that prefer deeper oak notes, this whisky has a unique richness with hints of nutmeg. Perfect to drink on its own.
Forty Creek Barrel Select - $17
A Canadian made from rye, barley, and corn whisky aged in separate casks before being blended into the finished product. It has a sweet finish that may be unusual for some, but notes of butterscotch, vanilla, maple and toffee make it the perfect after dinner sipping drink.
