High-octane
What's your favorite and/or bargain bourbon or scotch clocking in at 100+ proof?
Right now my favorite's the Stagg. I also like Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength. Not as much as the Quarter Cask, but that comes in at 96 proof. For everyday quaffing it's Knob Creek. I'm certainly open to other good deals on the strong stuff though.

Bargain?
WT101 or Old Grand Dad 100.

I'm a creature of habit, so I drink Knob Creek pretty regularly. And now that I think of it, I don't know that I have ever paid any attention to the proof on a bottle of scotch. hmmmm... let me check.
Just checked my cabinet... Glennfidich Special Reseve only 80 Proof. I guess I'll have to pay attention next time I'm at the liqour store.

Oohhh, I just saw that OGD comes in a 114 proof. At 25 bucks a bottle I think I'm going to have to pick some up to try this weekend.

Ya know, I enjoy cigars with whiskey and like Buffalo Trace and just about any scotch..but, that Wild Turkey 101 hidden in the back of my liquor cabinet is dangerous. Last time I tried it I found myself down on my knees looking under my chair for something which I forgot what it was supposed to be..so be careful of the WT101...it'll get ya down...

After too much 101, it's usually your self-respect you're looking for under the chair.

If you have to spend the money (or the money to spend)--Wild Turkey. On a budget? Old Grand Dad. Something a little sweeter? Southern Comfort 100 proof. Something that will leave a mark? Fighting Cock. (No puns, please, gentlemen.) I was still drunk after 8 hours of sleep.
All 100 proof or better. Rebel Yell will tap dance on you, also, though I don't remember the listed octane.
