A bit late but Dubonnet for me. Got ****-faced on it during a school football tour of Belgium, I was 13.

If I'm sad, Johnny Walker Blue label. If I've had a nice meal, a Tallisker. If I'm trying to look a bit like James Dean, Jim Beam. Different drinks for different...needs.
Mines best is a 'blended' Irish whiskey called Clontarf, its not expensive just very nice.

Yes thats bad..... for me the best really cheap bottle would definitely be Ballantine's. Hope this helps someone lol.....
