Weller is better than Crown. That doesn’t mean you’ll like it more.
Weller doesn’t have a harsh bite. I bet you would like it.

I suppose “cheap” is relative. For me, it’s $35-40 and under. For others, that threshold may be higher.
I would expect to pay $100 for a big bottle of Weller’s, but since @JeepologyOffroad found it for $38, I’d say it qualifies.
It can sell for more than $100 easily. If you find it at retail. Buy it up.

"Better than Crown"? But I can't find it...

I suppose the best whiskey is the one you’re currently drinking.
ET BIB and OGD 114 are GREAT picks for value bottles.
My Old Grandad (RIP) drank Old Grand Dad (and Old Crow) in his yard in Detroit. I had my first whole beer with him there when I was twelve or thirteen, it was an Altes I believe.
Question for all you brown liquor afficianados... I drink almost exclusively whisky, scotch and bourbon. But every so often I hit a point of saturation where I need a change of pace for a while... so I can then go back to appreciating the *real* stuff.
What do you drink at that point?
Gin disagrees with me. Vodka, boring. Mixed drinks... usually too sweet. I have tried high-end rum with some success, but tire of it quickly.
Ideas?

Easy for me, beer!
tequila!
Same here.
Maybe because I don't drink that much (maybe a dram 3 times a week), I haven't experienced that saturation. Also, because of the wide spectrum of Scotch Single Malts flavors, I feel I'm always drinking something different.
So switching between several differs styles of Single Malts, bourbons (straight and finished) and ryes does the trick for me.
I enjoyed the ET a lot. OGD wasn't as smooth as I'd like, had a bit of a pepper bite, but for a value lesson, all three were good.
Our friend Andy brought this one up to our cottage and I really like it. I don’t think it’s really expensive but he said he searched for a while to get it, so he must have wanted it! 117 proof and very good.
I’m a fan but that bottle is more around the $50 mark, Mike.
The Early Times BIB is $22 per liter bottle here in MI. Great deal imo.
