I'm somewhat new to whiskeys, but I have a question. And if this post is in the wrong section, I apologize.

Ok i enjoy some forms of whiskey, but there's a couple i can't stand. I have always enjoyed Crown most, and i enjoy Jack as well, but I prefer Crown for drinking on the rocks, and Jack for mixed drinks.. I also recently tried the Crown Royal 'Black', and it could be my new favorite, but I only had a small amount. However, I cant stand Jim Beam for some reason. It has some peculiar aftertaste that just doesn't bode well with me.

Anyway, I am trying to live on a very limited budget, so I was hoping someone could mention a cheap alternative that tastes similar to Crown/Crown Black if possible.. I have been wanting to drink some whiskey on the rocks occasionally, but I cant afford to buy Crown currently. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks
