What I actually pay for whiskey in 2026 - Real prices, honest thoughts, and what’s worth it in '26.

In this video, I break down my recent purchases across different price tiers, share what I’m paying at retail (or secondary when necessary), and talk through the value, hunt difficulty, and drinking experience for each bottle.
