Correct, it being bad makes it bad. That said, I don't mind mixing Jack in other things. It's passable enough for cocktails but it's not good straight.

I’d go for Larceny, 4 Roses, or Wild Turkey 101. All around the same price as Jack, maybe 5 bucks more, but all better in my opinion. Or you could just spend 15 more and buy Woodford instead.

mass marketed mediocrity (as is Jim Beam). i don't get down with bourbons that have a store selection of everything from cigars to tee shirts that's almost the size of some of the houses I've lived in in the past. literally no other bourbon in the world will ever compare to ''''tennessee whisky''''. if you want a good bourbon then just go buy a damn bourbon. look for something that's 'bottled in bond'.

This post is correct, Jack Daniels is made from cheap, mass produced GMO grain, AKA, the cheapest, shittiest grain you can get. You are either educated, or you drink swill.

That being said Blantons Single Barrel the best Bourbon but good luck finding it. DEFIANT, was a decent whiskey I tried recently. Buffalo Trace is usually the way to go for me.

I can find it just about everywhere where I live(eastern Missouri) and it's about the same price or a bit less than wild turkey 101 here. I can get practically anything though because I have a friend that owns a liquor store here so if I have no luck with anything he'll order it for me, it's how I ended up with a few bottles of Blantons for my bar, had to go there yesterday because new years did a number on my stash.

Why whiskey so expensive when its made of corn

[Anonymous No.13457901]

>>13457874
Because aging. Vodka is cheap because it doesn't need aged, it's basically pure ethanol cut with water to hit a reasonable proof. Most other liquors aren't as simple but they also require very little to no aging. Rum is a few years, wine needs just a year or two, Port is heavily cut with fresh wine making it quite cheap, outside of the whiskey/bourbon/scotch families, Brandy is the only one that really requires serious aging times. You can drink young whiskey and shit but it's just going to taste of alcohol because like I said, it's basically just vodka still.
