So I owe someone a gift and I've found out their favorite drink is seagrams. So obviously I'll get them that, but is there something similar that's better/rarer that I could get them as well? I know almost nothing about whiskey

I don't want to come off like a whiskey snob (even though this is the whiskey thread), but I have to imagine that someone whose favorite drink is Seagrams isn't someone who's into high-end/rare whiskey.

If you're dead set on buying a bottle of booze, some of the higher-end barrel aged whiskey cocktails like High West makes (like https://www.highwest.com/products/36th-vote-barreled-manhattan and https://www.highwest.com/products/old-fashioned-barrel-finished-cocktail) aren't bad at around $45? Just as an alternative to trying to find something the friend actually likes.

Oh yeah no worries, I kinda figured I might be storming into the steak thread and asking if there's a better burger than hardees! I'll give those a look, thanks

Uhhhhh. Maybe Crown? Isn't seagrams basically Canadian style whiskey?

This sounds like a safe option too, thank you

Oh yeah, forgot to say thanks for the recs a couple months back, I got my friend crown royal rye and seagrams VO and he really liked them. I've slowly improved my own whiskey tongue as well but not enough to comment

Nor really no, you're probably just sensitive to smoke, some people have that.
