Grant's: slightly sweet, reasonably smooth with a balanced taste that goes down with an easy burn. This is my every day night, just before bed elixir.
Bargain priced at Trader Joe's, a 1 litre bottle only runs $11.99, but it's a better drink than that. Seems every other week, the checker has to make a comment about how good 'this stuff' is, and 'everybody' is talking about it.
You'll love the distinctive triangular bottle that fits well in the hand and makes pouring so much easier at those times when you're having just one more.
Wild
Turkey: This is my favorite. Old school; kinda smokey and leathery with a sweetness that doesn't overpower. I like the way it attacks both front and back in balanced proportion. A more masculine attitude with a burn that is as soothing as it is pronounced.
I like it over ice.
It's also 101 proof, so I save for the weekends when waking up in a timely fashion is not so critical.
About $17.00 for a 750ml bottle at Trader Joe's, but you'll pay much more elsewhere.

.... You do this to depress your Washington readers, don't you? That's a few cents shy of $40 up here....
Love the whiskey blogging! I haven't priced a bottle of Wild Turkey lately, but $17 would be a steal.
Liquor at Trader Joe's?!?
But doesn't California have an epidemic of underage drinking and a complete revenue crisis...um, OK, maybe the second one isn't such a great example, but...I'm assuming California still hasn't fallen into the Pacific on account of being able to buy liquor from someone other than the state, yet, right?
Yes, please tell Washington that.
Foxfier: well, we here in CA pay exhorbitant prices for everything else, so we deserve a break on our booze.
Brian: we can buy beer almost everywhere, and booze everywhere else.
Mr D: am i gonna have to develope my irish gene to keep your interest? God, i hope not...
TJ's is $17. the local grocery chain is over $20, but TJ's is the place for alcohol. best prices anywhere, with a limited selection.
Having shopped down in Coronado, I can say that the generic grocery store in Seattle was only slightly less expensive than there!
