They're doing wonderfully well, no one would know they backed the wrong horse back in the 30s

Well his clients may have had absolutely dreadful ideas and behavior, but they sure did look spiffy doing it. Stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed in the fashion industry,

I don't really like Jack Daniels.

Is Jim Beam ok?

I'm more of a woodford reserve and markers mark kind of guy. If I can get ahold of Whistle Pig I'll drink that too from time to time but it is always hard to find now that I'm back in PA.

I like Whistle Pig, but then again, I like just about all bourbons. Have you tried the Boss Hog edition? Good stuff.

Corn, which is the grain used to make whiskey, originated in Mexico. 500 years ago the Irish didn't even have corn.

What ?

Scotch whisky is made with from either malted barley, rye or wheat. Scotland has been distilling whisky since 1494.

I have taken this tour and I don't remember anything about Nearis Green. Im glad they are embracing it now

Wow so many whiskey affectionados, like I said Iam partial to that other distilled liquid...Rum! worked on by some of my personal ancestors, before some of them ditched the whole process and took to the Blue mountains area to formed themselves into bands of merry men/and women robbing plantations,burning them and sometimes selling it to pirates and the like..

I think this is a more nuanced version that makes more sense. I see some people on here trying to take any European influence on Jack Daniels, or whiskey in general out the equation all together, and that's not true either though. Alcohol is culturally important; you can't have civilization without fermentation. In that vein, I think American whiskey as a product of a cultural blend is metaphoric.

As an aside, when I was bartending I had to admit that any time some one ordered Jack I would just cringe. Nine times out of ten they would get about four drinks in and turn into a perfect asshole. I mean a derogatory, grabby, yelling, and sometimes violent jerk. I have no idea why, but that drink of choice is like Mr. Hyde juice.

Never touch the stuff myself. I drink Crown Royal (Yes I'm a traitor. No, I don't care).

Dr. Jack (Jack Daniels and Dr. Pepper) is my drink when just drinking. Old No. 7 never let me down. Gentleman Jack on the rocks is good for sipping. My favorite however is The Glenlivet 15 year old Scotch on the rocks!

Woo Hoo!

Cool story OP, love jack D's might get a bottle tomorrow.

Buffalo Trace.

We even have beers aged in the stuff at the local brewery. It is darn good by itself; but when a good imperial stout is aged for 10 months the result is magical! The flavors blend so well together--the barrel flavors are infused into the beer. They also do a barleywine but anywhere from one to two years. Love Christmas time when they get released! I will have to mention this over in the beer thread.

Try Larceny. It's $26 a bottle and smooth. Good bang for your buck. And you don't need to put anything in it for it to taste good.

LOL, just run down to the local store and grab a bottle.

I'm not sure if I have or not, my dad owned a restaurant in Vermont near where it is made and he became friends with the guys that make it so they were always sending my dad booze and eating in the restaurant. Christmas of 2014 Whistle Pig sent us a box with special Vermont syrup they made and a bottle of dark whiskey

You poor souls. Beam? JD? Makers Mark?!?!

You need to get a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean. A bourbon aged at sea that crosses the equator four times and visits at least five continents.

That said, Evan Williams Black is best of the cheap bourbons.

Let me know when you try Four Roses Super Premium Platinum Bourbon. Mine just crossed the Pacific Ocean and came back here thanks to my CEO who grabbed me a bottle.
