I tried going with options I have not seen in the comments and I tried to make sure very few was MGP or other white label distilleries. Also I was aiming in the 30ish to 60ish USD range.

Haha you are absolutely not wrong.

There's a couple higher end variants that's are drinkable. But I'm not going to give them the coin to get them.
