Best American Whiskey From $100-$200

Spending $50 on a bottle of whiskey is one thing. Spending $150 is different. Once you get over $100, pretty good is not good enough, especially when there are plenty of great bottles sitting on the shelf below it.

Best American Whiskey From $75-$100

The $75–$100 range is where bourbon starts to get serious. At this price, you are usually paying for more age, higher proof, smaller batches, barrel-strength releases, unique finishes, or something meant to feel a little more special.
