It all tastes the same after the third glass
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 2 months ago
At least go Wild Turkey if you’re going the whiskey route. Stronger, cheaper, and at least to me tastes better.

I miss 151 ☹️
Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I puked off a shot of Wild Turkey sober, I didn’t drink liquor for years, Jameson on a bachelor trip brought me back into the spirits fold.

It’s no Lagavulin paired with a steak, but it does the job!

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, with a drink.
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

Jack Daniels is fucking disgusting. Some people even dare to consider it whiskey, which is a fucking disgrace.
Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Jack Daniels not being in Canada anymore is a net positive for me because i never accidentally get jack when I ask for whiakey.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
What do you usually get when you ask for whiakey?
TransNeko@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Jack Daniels is as close to whiskey as America is close to Berlin.
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Well, there’s a town in the US called Berlin. Apparently EDM people go there asking around for the Berghain, super funny haha
infinitecredits@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I bet lots of rockstars on their starting days only drank it because it was cheap. IIRC, Guns n’ Roses had a song after a weird caffeinated wine that was very cheap, it’s the same thing I think
TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Yeah I did the same when I was 16. Had no money and didn’t know better. Just went to the store, bought some JD and drank it with friends in the park. (age limit is now raised to 18 in my country but I was legal to drink at 16).

Not going to get enough nutrition like that! You need to get multiple flavors!!

I’m so glad I discovered their green variety. It hit the cravings I’ve had since quitting meat
teslekova@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
That sounds interesting. I am always trying to cut down on meat consumption in the laziest ways. Thx.

Everyone’s talking about the whisky, but are we not gonna discuss how Maruchan’s Creamy Chicken is one of their worst flavors?
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Beef is really the only option imo.
Sergio@piefed.social 2 months ago
Beef is OK but straight Chicken is best.

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.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I wanna know how you buy just two packets of ramen.
What, do they sell the packets individually at a corner store?
STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Where I shop, individual packets are your only option if you want something other than basic chicken or beef flavor.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Huh.
I’ve not seen that. Everywhere I’ve been, its the little mini pallettes of… 10 or 12 or something.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Every store I’ve ever been to sells them individually?
Oppopity@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Wtf.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My grocery store absolutely sells singles or 12 packs.

You must be poor drinking that swill.
TransNeko@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I can buy cheaper alcohol that is better quality than the swill that Jack Daniels is.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Yeah, when I’m broke I drink old crow
MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 months ago
As far as that goes Canadian mist which is a blended whiskey is far superior to fucking jack daniels.
ddplf@szmer.info 2 months ago
[serious] If you can afford whiskey, you can afford decently balanced diet.
My grocery receipts got a whole lot thinner after I stopped drinking alcohol. And trust me when I say that in my country alcohol is super cheap.
HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Black Label is the absolute minimum I’ll go. When times are better, Aberlour 16 or Glenfarclas 15.
raid_dad@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was in the same boat until I discovered the glory of Famous Grouse. It’s not bad, not great, $32 for a handle and hits about the same as black label. I’d still prefer a nice single malt, but times are tough.

As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.
Godric@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Fuck them then, I’m taking reccomendations in the price range!
Neondragon25@piefed.social 2 months ago
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.
Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I mean and it’s terrible whiskey
7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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.
DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 months ago
How the eff is that even possible? One producer of a vice is criminalising another vice??
Godric@lemmy.world 2 months 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.
