A lot of good ones have been named. You don't have to spend a ton to enjoy good whiskey. Forty Creek was mentioned. A few years ago when it was first introduced it was 7 bucks a bottle. Ever since it beat out Crown at a competition it is now selling for $18 here. My liquor store guy gave me the heads up before he raised it and I was lucky enough to get a case.

I love rye's. Builliet makes a good rye (and whiskey) not very smooth but oh so tasty. I usually add a splash of water, I know this is a sin in the scotch world. It really opens up the flavors on the higher proof rye's though.

Templeton Rye is also good although the company has gotten a lot of shit for lying where it was made.

Knob Creek Rye

Whistle Pig Rye

Find out what you like. I'm not a huge scotch fan although I do have a bottle of Johnny Blue I break out with a good cigar.

Good luck, tasting new labels is half the fun.
