Decent whiskey at a decent price

I find these whiskeys drinkable, smooth, tasty, and reasonably priced. Prices quoted are from the NH state liquor commission stores for a 1.75 liter bottle, other states will be pricier.
1. Scotch: John Begg, $16
2. Scotch: Ballentine $20-25 depending upon sales
3. Canadian: Canadian Hunter $10
4. Bourbon: Evan Williams $16
5. Bourbon: Old Crow $13

The taste of whiskey is a subtle thing, very hard to describe, so I'm not going to bother trying. I'll merely let it go by saying I find these brands very pleasant to drink. Ice and club soda improve the taste. I will occasional drink my whiskey with just ice, and never drink it without ice, but usually I add both ice and club soda.
