If you enjoy whiskey, try Hornitos Black Barrel. It is a 100% agave tequila that is aged in whiskey barrels......taste like a super smooth whiskey......

I totally understand everyone has their own preferences.
That being said I've had some of what you suggested and here's my
personal amateur opinion:
Maker's Mark - yuck
Knob Creek 9yr - Delicious in an Old Fashioned.
Auchentoshan triple wood - Solid choice, I had it a long time ago so don't remember full details. I think it was not bad however it's $81 at BCL, for a few bucks more, I'd definitely go for Balvenie. I will pick up another bottle in the near future to refresh my memory haha
Any Bowmore products - The only Bowmore under $75 is the 12 year for $57. I still prefer the $33 Crown Harvest more. Regardless of price point, but the savings doesn't hurt.
Highland Park 10yr - Personally not a fan, I have a bottle of 12 year sitting at home for years now. Can't finish it.
Jim Beam Black
Alberta Springs
I'll admit I have never had either of these. Just never thought that a $25 bottle would peak my interest. I will grab a bottle of each next time I swing by the liquor store.
I also remember that the Ballantine's 21 year is also one of personal faves, top 5 for sure.
Anyone know where I can procure a bottle of Alberta Premium 25 Year?
