As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.
Fuck them then, I'm taking reccomendations in the price range!
if you are looking for whiskey: Westward, Dickel, Clemens, 6666, Tincup, Heavens door, Westland, Balcones or Bear fight are good options.
If its Bourbon: Highwest, Redwood empire, smoke wagon, Penelope, Remus, Pursuit, Old forester, Michters, Russell's, Dancing panda, Lasso, Hirsch,Four roses, Basil Hayden are all good to decent options
For Scotch: monkey shoulder, Glenfiddich, Drambuie, Aberlour, Brenne, Dewars, Glenlivet and Singleton are good options
for Irish whiskey: Jameson, Writters tears, Red Breast, Slãint, and Whistler are decent picks.
For Japanese whisky: Toki (white or black) kikori and Nikka and Sato Hiki are good Japanese picks
For Canadian Whisky: Pendleton, crown, black velvet, Pike Creek and forty creek are decent options.
I tried going with options I have not seen in the comments and I tried to make sure very few was MGP or other white label distilleries. Also I was aiming in the 30ish to 60ish USD range.
Goddamnit, you reminded me Glenfiddich exists and my bottle ran out ages ago. You monster.
(not an alcoholic, you're not a monster, just to be clear, I just love the occasional sip of that one, it was my grandfather's favourite.)
There a beautiful 12year I've seen out...enjoy the drink!
FOR THE PRICE, Buffalo Trace always seemed okay for me, mostly for cocktails, but I'm not a big liquor guy. I remember loving Angel's Envy Bourbon years ago, but it wasn't super cheap.
Buffalo Trace is a solid option and I agree mainly for cocktails, and most of the Angles Envy around me starts at $60ish. But also good stuff.
Lafroig is great and cheap of you like really smoky Scotch Oban is a step up and less smoky.
Japanese whiskeys are nice. Suntory and Nikka Days make pretty good mixers but if you wanna sip there's always Hibiki.
Happy cake day! I thought about including Hibiki but most prices I see on it start around $50+ but I totally agree, good sipping.
Bullet is also a solid affordable whiskey, coming higher end of take Blanton's over anything on your list
I mean and it's terrible whiskey
Haha you are absolutely not wrong.
There's a couple higher end variants that's are drinkable. But I'm not going to give them the coin to get them.
How the eff is that even possible? One producer of a vice is criminalising another vice??
Yep, they don't want the competition. In "dry" counties where selling booze is illegal, the party stores a county over tend to donate politically to keep it that way.
ewww, what horrid whisky choice. I'd almost rather drink everlcear then touch that putrid stuff.
It all tastes the same after the third glass
It's no Lagavulin paired with a steak, but it does the job!
At least go Wild Turkey if you're going the whiskey route. Stronger, cheaper, and at least to me tastes better.
See, the way I like Jack, I like it because its horrible and shitty.
There are many much better, much more well rounded bourbons and whiskeys.
But sometimes, the point is to basically kick yourself in the face, via a drink.
Is that a 375ml bottle? That one is the 2nd worst priced bottle to buy next to the 1 liter bottle. Idk why they price them so awful but they do. Best priced is 1.75 liter then 750ml followed by the pint bottle which is the first bottle pictured here i believe. Source, worked in liquor store for 3 years.
You will always pay for portability.
Not going to get enough nutrition like that! You need to get multiple flavors!!
Jim Beam, Jameson, Lagavulin
One of those is not like the others...
Lagavulin, Balvenie, Fireball
Balvenie, Glenlivet, Listerinie
It’s for weekends
Jack Daniels is fucking disgusting. Some people even dare to consider it whiskey, which is a fucking disgrace.
Jack Daniels not being in Canada anymore is a net positive for me because i never accidentally get jack when I ask for whiakey.
Bruh gettin scurvy
Have some class goddamnit! You are living like an animal!
Glenfiddich and Nong Shim Shin Ramyun Black, get it now!
As an alcoholic with anxiety attacks, I miss being just an alcoholic. I used to feel joy at the sight of a bottle of whisky.
Everyone's talking about the whisky, but are we not gonna discuss how Maruchan's Creamy Chicken is one of their worst flavors?
I wanna know how you buy just two packets of ramen.
What, do they sell the packets individually at a corner store?
Where I shop, individual packets are your only option if you want something other than basic chicken or beef flavor.
Not pictured: the pack of American Spirits in OP’s back pocket.
lol poverty and alcoholism
You must be poor drinking that swill.
I can buy cheaper alcohol that is better quality than the swill that Jack Daniels is.
Black Label is the absolute minimum I'll go. When times are better, Aberlour 16 or Glenfarclas 15.
