As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.
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.
Japanese whiskeys are nice. Suntory and Nikka Days make pretty good mixers but if you wanna sip there's always Hibiki.
Happy cake day! I thought about including Hibiki but most prices I see on it start around $50+ but I totally agree, good sipping.
Have you tried any Australians, specifically Tasmanians. I have a half dozen names I could throw out but not sure how far out of Australia they have name recognition. Well besides the Springbay but that's nowhere near the price range these days.
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!
Solid reccomendations, thank you! I haven't tried about 60% of the list, I'll see what the nearby stores have and get sampling!
How the eff is that even possible? One producer of a vice is criminalising another vice??
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.
I mean and it's terrible whiskey
ewww, what horrid whisky choice. I'd almost rather drink everlcear then touch that putrid stuff.
It all tastes the same after the third glass
At least go Wild Turkey if you're going the whiskey route. Stronger, cheaper, and at least to me tastes better.
I miss 151 ☹️
It's no Lagavulin paired with a steak, but it does the job!
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.
Not going to get enough nutrition like that! You need to get multiple flavors!!
Jim Beam, Jameson, Lagavulin
One of those is not like the others...
Lagavulin, Balvenie, Fireball
It’s for weekends
Lagaluvian is more expensive Jameson is a blend Jim beam is gross
Which one are you talking about
Lagavulin is the superior of the three IMO.
(I still drink the cheap stuff BC I'm poor)
Jim beam is trash.
Bruh gettin scurvy
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.
Everyone's talking about the whisky, but are we not gonna discuss how Maruchan's Creamy Chicken is one of their worst flavors?
Not pictured: the pack of American Spirits in OP’s back pocket.
Have some class goddamnit! You are living like an animal!
Glenfiddich and Nong Shim Shin Ramyun Black, get it now!
[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.
Went from depressing solitary evening, to romantic dinner for two!
You must be poor drinking that swill.
Would you like a shot of Jack with a Jack chaser?
Nope, it would be Signal Hill for me.
Lmbo, ramen noodles so many....memories
