Whisky2.0 Holiday Gift Guide – More Whisk(e)y under $50

Courtesy of Joshua McGee, who pointed out some omissions from my list of a couple weeks ago, I have made improvements to my earlier list. These recommendations don’t really have a half-life (though the Auchentoshan is on a $10-off sale at the moment, so it squeaked onto the list…).

For the most part, these recommendations will still work after the New Year. 🙂

I have reproduced the list here, in full, with Joshua’s recommendations in red. Please add your comments with suggestions, ratings, rants, raves, etc.
