As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.

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.

Bullet is cheap and tasty

That’s my go to. The 10 year is a staple in my house. Had some barrel? Strength a while back it was great.
Everything they make is quality

How the eff is that even possible? One producer of a vice is criminalising another vice??
Godric@lemmy.world 2 days ago
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.

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.

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 awesome but it’s got a huge shortage
Neondragon25@piefed.social 1 day ago
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.

Laphroaig tastes like a burnt-down hospital by the seaside.
It was legal to sell in pharmacies during the prohibition because the authorities didn’t think anyone would drink it for fun.

Bullet is also a solid affordable whiskey, coming higher end of take Blanton’s over anything on your list
Neondragon25@piefed.social 1 day ago
I have 3 different Blantons bottles, 3 E.H. Taylor’s, a Stagg Jr. Penelope Light, a Burnheim 20 year, and a few other notables in my high end collection. Blantons is over priced and over rated. its good, but not $110+ and hard to find good. The cask strength is worth it I think.

Goddamnit, you reminded me Glenfiddich exists and my bottle ran out ages ago. You monster. <cries while purchasing>
(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!

Japanese whiskeys are nice. Suntory and Nikka Days make pretty good mixers but if you wanna sip there’s always Hibiki.
Neondragon25@piefed.social 2 days ago
Happy cake day! I thought about including Hibiki but most prices I see on it start around $50+ but I totally agree, good sipping.
Godric@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Solid reccomendations, thank you! I haven’t tried about 60% of the list, I’ll see what the nearby stores have and get sampling!
Neondragon25@piefed.social 1 day ago
No worries, I really tried giving a list of not the most common things, a few Commons sprinkled in but I wanted to focus on good stuff thats maybe under represented or under appreciated.

If you want to buy better alcohol for the price of Jack Daniels… just buy 90 proof and mix something yourself l.
