I don't get it either. There is plenty of good stuff without paying $100+ for a 750ml bottle.
He even gets 'top shelf' margaritas, which in my estimation really is a waste since it is a lime drink.

For end of the work week therapy, I am all for the cheap stuff, I typically keep a bottle of Evan Williams in the cabinet and will go that first.
I have a bottle of Bushmills 21 y/o, I purchased it 2 years ago, I pour a double every year for my next trip around the sun. Every time I taste it, I am blown away how amazing it is.
The Blantons was pulled out of a back store room in a little mom and pop store I was in. The counter lady and I were chatting I must have said the right things, she said, "I'll be right back I think I have something you want" I was relieved she came out of the back room clothed. She had a Blantons Box in her hand. Score!
I will buy an expensive bottle and keep it around until a friend is over I know will enjoy it.
Otherwise, that $25 Evan Williams Handle serves me well.
