For scotch I prefer Macallan 12 and for a more affordable option the dewars 12 blend is solid at $30. Bourbon, (though I have wellers 107 and blue, I have not popped them yet) Russell’s 10 is a great value along with early times BnB.
I have not had the E Williams BNB yet, but the Early Times BNB 1litter is fantastic for $25. Im a scotch drinker but i prefer bourbon with my cigars. Sub $50 range Russell's 10 year is my fav but Weller special reserve and early times is close behind.
