Any whiskey connoiseurs in Poal? Planning on stockpiling (ok hoarding) some as tradeable currency in an apocalyptic scenario. What are some good, cheap whiskeys that I can trade for food and other items? Something that will be in demand and recognised in that situation?

Rather than stockpile, why not make a still? Also, Wild Turkey for hunting camp, and Blantons for when some class is required.

Everyone always saying Wild Turkey or Knob Creek for their mid-shelf bourbons. Maker's Mark smoothness for the win.

For top shelf, you say Blantons, I say Blade and Bow.

With due respect, all of these are good.

Seconding Blade and Bow for top shelf - some good shit right there.

That hasn't been historically true. Do you have any concept of how many times this cycle has repeated since we first became an agrarian species 5,000-13,000 years ago?!?!

Not really. No one will give a shit about luxury goods in an apocalyptic scenario. The average cheap ass whisky will go way up in value. Luxury whisky will go down. Just about everyone but the elite would much rather have 10 $10 bottles whisky than 1 $100 bottle of whisky. So your best bet it to buy the cheapest whisky you can find, since it will still be worlds better than the average moonshine people are making

Especially considering that home made can have the poisonous wood alcohol in it if they don’t do it right.

I know plenty of people who make their own booze (not whisky though) and consume it religiously claiming it was home made, so it's better and even healthy. Anyway, I think their brain has been affected with obvious signs of senility of parkinson.
