@Beef Invictus can probably give better/more recommendations, but if I had to pick one bottle (and I'm assuming you're into scotch here), you can't go wrong with a Macallan 12.

Should be at pretty much every location that sells whiskey, but I don't roam the streets of Pennsylvania or New Jersey, so I can't say for sure.
Macallan is the standard for scotch, so it's everywhere.

What about Bourbon? Any recommendations?

I like Jefferson and Woodford Reserve. They have some well-rated premium bottles, but I've not tried them myself.

Bulleit is a good one
Also
Jefferson small batch and, if you want one with a serious kick, Knobs Creek.
All of the above are relatively reasonably priced. But if you don’t mind spending the cash, Pappy Van Winkle is a fine sippin whiskey

Suntory is a Japanese whisky that is good. It’s an interesting twist on whiskey

Bulleitt (below range, still good)
Blanton's (in that range, very good)
Eagle Rare
Everyone has mentioned my other immediate ideas. Bulleitt I repeated for emphasis. Makes a fantastic Manhattan with a good vermouth

Forgot Blanton's.
Actually not a fan of Bulleitt. Maybe that was the rye though.
Dad's Hat is a good rye, btw.

I’m getting a handle of Tito’s this weekend & making Strawberry Daiquiri’s.

When it comes to the affordable-but-really good range my own standard brands are Makers Mark and Bulleit. A bottle of each covers the bourbon range pretty well. There are many others that can go here too. Four Roses is highly popular.
Bourbon is great. My go tos are Elijah Craig and Knob Creek.

I loved Tito's when it was 30 bucks for a handle, but whenever I drink it the next day it feels like someone rammed a bottle brush through my intestines.

Ketle is presently my favorite overall vodka, but for daily use I roll with Sobieski. Incredibly cheap and incredible for the price. Great out of the freezer or warm out of the bottle.
Thanks @Rich Nixon

More of a scotch type than bourbon though, but it’s very good
