I like whiskey, but I don't know much about it, I do know that I like bourbon
Until relatively recently, I didn't know much about it either. A friend got me interested and from there I have been on a journey to learn as much as I can. I still have much to learn. I have recently discovered bourbon myself and I have found that I like it a lot. I bought a bottle of Wild Tureky 101.
I like Wild Turkey! I would like to try a Wild Turkey Mahattan
Yeah I'm sure that would be really nice! I've never tried that before so I would be willing to give it a go. I think on the whole though I prefer to drink neat or with a little water added. I think what interests me most about whiskey is that you can get such a variety in flavors and experiences, from the same basic ingredients. 
I heard about a Smoked Maple Bourbon that seems unique
I've never heard of that but that sounds nice, I think I'll look into that. My most recent (and most expensive!) bottle was a Rye whiskey which I tried a sample of first. It's so good! Different to bourbon but shares some of the same characteristics. 
My father likes to drink Crown Royal on occasion but I don't care for it
I've never tried that before, in fact I haven't tried any Canadian whiskey. I'm sure I will sooner or later though. It can be an expensive hobby, but I don't mind as the bottles last me quite a while. I like a drink, but I very rarely drink to excess. 
I agree, it's way too expensive and unheathy to drink to excess.  A bottle of Glenfiddich Janet Sheed Roberts Reserve is $94,000
That is a lot of money! When I see bottles that are that expensive, I often think surely there reaches a point where the taste can never justify the price you have to pay to drink it. 
I agree! Wine is the same way, there's no way a $10,000 bottle of Courvoisier Erté Collection tastes better than something that costs 50 times less
No way. These things must only be for the mega rich and serious collectors I assume. I think most of the time it is because of the age. I wonder how may people buy bottles like that and actually drink them.
