My liquor cabinet was dry and it was time to resupply. I went to snag new versions of what was empty but stopped short when I saw the price. I couldn’t remember if I had really been paying that much for a bottle of bourbon, but the proof was right there on the price tag. So I let my eyes drift downward and recalled reading something about underrated cheaper liquor. I recalled the story well enough to remember Evan Williams being reviewed as the best, so I decided to try something different.
Well, apparently I’m not the only one shunning top shelf choices. The New York Times reports that less expensive liquor is popular right now.

Are Captain Morgan and Smirnoff premium brands? I wish they had a Trader Joe’s brand. Perhaps cutting back on liquor consumption is another alternative?
I bet Trader Joe’s brand would be tasty. Maybe they have it in places where liquor is sold in grocery stores.
If you like Vodka Nemiroff is really good and not too bad on the $$
I do like vodka and I’ve never tried Nemiroff. Thanks for the tip.
i think you might need a governmental nod to distill your own spirits, but you could sure as heck try making your own beer!
