This for above 18 only (or 21 only, age rules in your state mary vary YMMV) 
Costco in San Fran [
in other cities as well, YMMV] has good prices on whiskey (could be in other cities hence the YMMV, I have attached a picture for you to price out), Blended Japanese whiskey, I have been paying 120 to 150 for the 12 and 15 yrs Hibiki on these whiskey, this is a great deal for regulars.
IMHO : This Whiskey is very smooth and matches the Blue label, now what makes it better is that its single malt, unlike the blue labels which are blended event at the 189/ltr price point.

Edit:
User @sharka
posted a link as a comparison Post#22, however when you click on the link the price is 72$, and then shipping + taxes brings is way over ~40$ more, so this is clearly cheaper!
I attached screen shot from the total wine store , and

the fremont one had some higher class stuff two weeks ago and now they are gone! I should've picked some stuff up.
they brought back the glenmorangie triple box (109.99) for their typical 3. also Johnie walker green is now back in the states at Costco at about $47.
other notable is the Hakushu at $68. I bought a bottle months ago but haven't opened.
the Kirkland 25y.o Speyside has some decent amateur reviews on Reddit. $90
there's a Macallan 15 + gold gift box that is also watch box for $150.
Glenfarclas 25 at $130. compass box peat monster at $50(low stock). they have had Laphroaig 10 for months but I think there price dropped to $36?
anyways the three Japanese whisky they carry is toki, hibiki harmony, and hakushu 12. https://www.thewhiskyex

Yes DC does have them, and going fast!
The nice thing is that prices are controlled (no gouging the rare stuff).
The bad thing is that prices are controlled (prices may be gouged by the middle-distributors). So sometimes paying tax in another state is still cheaper than buying it here.
Look at side bar for more info.
This may be relevant.

Also, I don't know what you mean by inexpensive.

Thanks for this info, but every where including the reviews like the link from a previous poster says this is single malt.
Also, can you recommend other inexpensive spirits you think are better deals, and taste good. Looking to venture out
