They're both generic shitty bourbons that are too expensive for what they are.

>>11672030
Yea I know. I will only be drinking them with coke and a lime. I'm getting tired of vodka

>>11672028
Evan Williams black label is mad cheap and tastes about the same to me.
That being said, Evan Williams is 1783 is better than both of those. It's been said that Evan Williams is generally swill, but that that is the only good thing that the distillery produces (and that it is tasty as fuck).

>>11672028
I prefer the flavor of jim beam and I usually drink straight or whiskey old fashioned so take that for what you will.
>>11672049
New Amsterdam Gin is stupid cheap and so is Jose cuervo silver

>>11672082
I really don't like Evan Williams. Even mixed with coke.

>>11672082
I wouldn’t mix 1783 if I had it, same with maker’s. Evan black is perfect for a solo cup cocktail on a Saturday afternoon though

>>11672028
>this overpriced over marketed whiskey is too expensive
>I know, I'll switch to this other marginally less overpriced over marketed whiskey instead of something that's actually cheap and probably better tasting

>>11672094
Then you are a pleb, plain and simple.

>>11672030
>Jack Daniel
>bourbon
How does it feel being retarded? Does the constant laughter make you believe that they're laughing with you, or are you aware that they're actually laughing at you?

>>11672304
>jd
>not bourbon

>>11672030

This. Go with Evan Williams for a cheap buzz.

>>11672030
>JD
>Bourbon
Imagine being this retarded, LMFAO...

>>11672382
Whats the difference? Always thought whiskey is whiskey (only drink wodka so I have no clue)

>>11672028
get johnny walker

An alcoholic told me old crow is the best value while still tasting like the shitty bourbon you're used to. He wasn't wrong, makes a great mixer.

>>11672397
Bourbon is made in a single county in Kentucky. Whiskey is generally either trying to be bourbon or trying to be Irish. Whisky is scotch in all but name.

OP, the closest thing to jack daniels on the market flavorwise is old crow, and it should be even cheaper than jim beam. also, if you do want to get bourbon at JD price range go for buffalo trace, it's real shit.

>>11672443
ignore this faggot, he knows nothing about this and posts bullshit

>>11672443
Qualitatively, how is Jack different than a standard bourbon or is the only difference European style placename bullshit?

>>11672456
It's not bourbon at all. Different grains, different mash process, charcoal filtered.

>>11672028
>mixing
absolutely go for an economic whiskey

>>11672030
IMAGINE THINKING JACK DANIELS IS A BOURBON
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>11672028
Ezra Brooks. Far cheaper than JD, and tastes very similar, especially when mixed.
For a good cheap single barrel to drink straight, my vote goes to Evan Williams single barrel.
I don't mix very often, when I do I use Ezra for a sour mash, and four roses straight for more of a traditional bourbon.

>>11672318
protip: they're laughing at you.

>>11672456
Tennessee whiskies use a different mashbill and a different finishing process resulting in a very different flavor. also, its not even made in kentucky, much less in bourbon county.
>inb4 muh eurocuck controlee designee shit
even Jack Daniels says its a tennessee whisky and not a bourbon. pic related, retard.

>>11672443
You're a fucking idiot, bourbon can only be made in USA and has to have a mash bill of 51% corn at least. Also aged in new white oak barrels that have been charred for at least 3 years.

>>11673975
>charred for at least 3 years
You need to take a course in remedial english, yuropoor trash.

>>11672455
Old Crow is purposely made bad as a joke.

>>11672028
Buy this instead of either.

>>11674228

>>11672304
>>11672382
>>11673449
Bartender here. Bourbon is the god-awful sickly sweet American ""whisky"" that few people actually like, outside of highschool students and the odd american tourist.
Get a bottle of scotch or Irish whiskey instead.

>>11673997
*English

>>11672028
Jack is absolute trash but Jim isn't terrible. It's nothing special but it's at least drinkable unlike Jack

>>11674435
jim is completely undrinkable

>>11674228
This.
And when you have money buy Kentucky Spirit

>>11672437
This. Old Crow is great, for the price.

>>11673873
Jack Daniels meets all the requirements to be called a bourbon. Jack calls itself Tennesse Whiskey for marketing purposes. Also the thing about bourbon needing to be made in Kentucky or Bourbon county is false. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the US.

>>11673844
Ezra Brooks is such a great liquor. I should get some for new years, thabjs for reminding me anon.

>>11674228
Heh.

>>11672082
Evan Williams is usually complete garbage, but a long time ago I found some "Evan Williams single barrel, double aged" I think it was called? For 15 bucks It was actually pretty fucking good. I haven't seen another bottle of it since then though

>>11674650
If you got $35 to Shell out they have a 7 year cask strength now that's amazing.

>>11674674
I'll see if my local ABC store has it. If not, then I can see if they can order it and I'll get it for the Super Bloodmoon in January.

>>11672049
get George Dickle, you can find it for $18

>>11674350

>>11674689
Yes, anon should get a little bit of George's Dickle

>>11672028
Evan Williams Black Label is cheaper and better than Jim Beam.

>>11674228
A little in your air fryer and you’re off to the races

>>11674666
>$15
damn
I want to try this>>11674674

>>11672382
>>11672443
You are the retard.

>>11674666
nice trips satan
they just released the 2011 >>11674983 and it's actually really fucking good for a lighter style whiskey, plenty of distinct woody and nutty notes

This tastes freaking good for the price. Wheat adds honey like sweetness to it.

>>11674643
George Dickel is the other major Tennessee Whisky. Notice how it also avoids calling itself a bourbon. Curious. Perhaps you should write Jack Daniel and George Dickel and inform them of their error. I'm sure they'd be appreciative of your wisdom and unique insight in this matter.

>>11672028
>switching from THE overpriced meme whiskey to another slightly less overpriced meme whiskey
Yikes
Drink Evan Williams you frickin doofus. Why would you spend anything more than bottom shelf dollar to mix it with fuckin coke for gods sake? Youre not even drinking a proper mixed drink

>>11675893
Friend of mine in high school was from Kentucky and this is what we drank. Feels good to have friends with good taste. I hear horror stories about md 20/20 fueled nights and bouts of awful nausea and diarrhea and I simply can't relate to the feel.

>>11676504
crazy rich kids drinking Maker’s in high school. Absolute madmen

>>11672028

Tastes like frenching your syphilitic mother. Mixing Whiskey and Coke tends to - good whiskey should be drank by itself. Bad whiskey shouldn't be drank.

Y'know, rum and coke is also a thing. Rum! It's like whiskey you can mix, for people who don't hate their taste buds and/or spouse.

My recommendation is 'if it has a stupid name and survived to 2018, it's probably decent'.

Mount Gay and Pussers both follow this rule. Good brands.

Myers Rum is pretty great too. It tastes like an elderly man who's been smoking for the last thirty-five years non-stop just crammed his mouth with Worther's Originals, swished around some rum in there, then spat it into your mouth.

Cannot recommend highly enough.

>>11676566
good post. rum is superior to whiskey in every way.

what is a decent bottle of whisky that I can gift that isn't jack or jim? not scotch either, maybe kentucky

>>11672028
Beam is good on it's own. But beam gives me bad memories.
God i fuck everything up

>>11672028
Kill yourself up
Drink Evan Williams
>>11676566

Sailor Jerry you faggots

>>11676587
Reality

>>11676583
maker's
most single barrels
any wild turkey select

>>11676644
Jerry is good but i prefer darker. Hell I like Bacardi Black better than Jerry, its cheaper too. Cruzan is trash.

>>11674819
Heh.

>Jack Daniel’s chooses not to call itself bourbon, but the historic brand applies for federal label approval under the class of bourbon and Tennessee whiskey is listed as straight bourbon in the North American Free Trade Agreement. And if you actually pull a high ranking Jack member aside and really push them on it, they will confirm that “technically” it is a bourbon.

>>11673997
>I can't provide a counterargument but I can point out a spelling error. That'll show him!
Nigga u dumb.

>>11676482
They know of their "error," retard. It's a marketing thing. Kill yourself stupid faggot.

I wouldn't spend more than $15 on a bottle of whiskey if you're just going to douse it in Coke like a child.

Jim Beam is a nicer whiskey. It's amazing what marketing can do.

On that note, I've been seeing ads where Chivas Regal tries to use the fact it's a blend as a selling point. Madness.

>>11674228
Based and redpilled.

>>11678636
This. Just use Evan Williams if you're mixing it with Coke. You won't notice a difference.

>>11672030
>expensive

I swear this whole fucking board doesn't have 1,000$ combined. Yall should actually work and make money

>>11672397
Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey are very very similar, in that both have to be made with at least 51% corn. Bourbon can be made anywhere in the USA, Tennessee Whiskey can only be made in Tennessee. Also Tennessee Whisky MUST be filtered through charcoal before ageing.

>>11674350

You're not worth what you're being paid.

Evan William's and coke

>>11674637
Old crow reserve was actually good, but I havent seen it in years now.

>>11676576
Depends on the criteria. If it's about grams of sugar added prior to bottling, rum is clearly superior.

>>11672030
>too expensive
dunno, last time i paid €6.75 for a bottle of jim beam + glass gift set.

>>11679934
No wonder Americans are alcohics.
A 700ml (approx 24 fluid ounces) bottle of Jim beam white label in Australia is about $40 dollarydoos.

>>11672030
I'm not even gonna read the replies but I know you got BTFO for this stupid post

>>11679959
>€
>americans

>>11679982
My bad, I missed that. Even so, I assume it'd be even cheaper in the US.

>>11679971
The only thing he was attacked for was calling JD bourbon, not for whatever reason you were thinking of. If you think these JB and JD are anything but generic shitty bourbons you are a complete tastelet.

>>11679992
It's at least double the price in the USA.
Which i find pretty amusing.

>>11674228
This.
It's the GOAT cheap bourbon. Perfect for mixing or sipping by itself. I have a bottle on my shelf as i type this

Both are garbage. Drink Henry McKenna instead.

>>11679971
Maybe you should you ignorant fuck.

>>11679286
stop using y'all you stupid retard I bet you aren't even from the south

>>11672028
coca cola or cocaine? if you actually need a chaser for your whiskey you're a faggot lmao

>>11674350
>Retard here

You're an absolutely adorable little faggot if you don't think there's bourbon that rivals scotch.

I personally prefer Irish whiskey but I'm laughing at you if you call yourself a bartender and don't think bourbon can be good.

>>11672028
Do it. I did it almost a decade ago.
I usually get the Jim Beam traveler.
I live in TN and love Jack but I sure ain't paying that international price they want.

>>11672235
Beam is better than Williams.

>>11680802
>I am as retarded as OP

>>11678603
Try holding your breath until you turn blue, maybe somebody will take pity on you and pretend you're right.

>>11677346
Shill your shitty blog someplace else faggot.

>>11672437
old crow is literally jb aged less

I love how we pretend to prefer liqs "for the calories" but it's obviously just because it gets you fucked up quicker

>>11681029
"We" aren't women/faggots

>>11679286
He’s not saying 20 dollars is a lot. He’s saying 20 dollars is a lot for the garbage swill in that bottle and he thinks it’s worth less.

>>11679286
shit's literally $50 a bottle.

>>11680974
Try not being retarded. Maybe you'll not be a retard. It's a long shot though.

>>11680809
Said nobody ever.

I drink Evan Williams black label if mixing with coke.

For sipping on the rocks, I get a few. If I'm trying to be budget-friendly I'll get Buffalo Trace or Four Roses.

If I'm getting more expensive bourbon I'll grab Maker's Mark or Eagle Rare.

>>11684605
I'm a cheap bastard, by necessity and nature; I buy what ever is on sale among Old Grandad 100, Wild Turkey 101, and Elijah Craig small batch. Convince me to buy something really spendy, anons.

>ko's you in 13 seconds
nothing personal kid...
