What is the best tasting whiskey that you bring to hunting camp?

I'm partial to Bourbon whiskey for the most part. Although I try not to pass up a good scotch every now and then. Elijah Craig was our recent choice and it helped reduce the sore and weary legs after a long day in the field.

The smaller bottles went quickly with my hunting buddies. I had to pull this on out on the last evening.

Two votes to Elijah Craig so far 👍
 
My palette is not to the level that is required to discern the difference between good whiskey and cheap whiskey. I've had the cheapest plastic bottle hooch, up to couple hundred dollar bottles. It all just taste like whiskey to me. And I like it. I guess that makes me easy to please. Pappys is on my list of things to try, see what all the hoopla is about.

Edit. I can tell the difference in the headache the next day, between an over indulgence of cheap and good whiskey.

I should butt out because I don't have a taste for the American whisky or Bourbon.
When I was invited to Fordy's camp in Tasmania I took Bundaberg Rum.
Rum is my favourite spirit and I was given the opportunity to to time my trip with ButterBean so I wanted to be sure to take some along for him to try.
Along with some popular Aussie snacks.

Whisk(e)y doesn't have a strict definition, but generally refers to liquor made from grain and aged in wood casks.

Specific types of whisk(e)y (scotch, rye, wheat, malt, bourbon, etc) have different definitions, usually with restrictions on mash bill, aging, strength, and sometimes location.

Bourbon is whiskey made from a mash of at least 51% corn, distilled to a max of 160 proof, barreled at a max of 125 proof, bottled at a minimum of 80 proof, aged in new charred oak barrels, and bottled without additives. It can be made anywhere in the US. Straight bourbon is aged at least 2 years.

Tennessee whiskey is bourbon made in TN and filtered through charcoal.
