Why is it so overrated?
southern pride plus buying shit is my identity and they spend tons of advertising
>>20423746all i know is that primark sell tshirts with it on and theres a funny painting of dogs playing cards and drinking it.
>>20423746Successful marketing
When you first start buying your own alcohol you want to have something decent. This is usually middle of the shelf and cheapish. Gets the job done. You can tell everyone that you drink whiskey and people will be fine with it. If you go for vodka first people will act like you are crazy or trashy. If you do gin people think you are pretentious. If you go for sake you are a weeb. It is just an ez choice
>>20423746Nobody drinks enough cheap whisky to know what the difference between Old Grandad and Old Forester is let alone Jack Daniels vs anything else.
>>20423746Is it? I don't know of anyone that says it's great, just that it's ubiquitous.
I'd prefer Jim Beam over Jack Daniels when it comes to cheap whiskeys
>>20423769This. The marketing is build directly into the product. The simple black label with white text evokes a sense of manly stoicism. The subtle scroll flourishes on the border gives it an air of distinction, and sophistication. The square shape gives the bottle a wide face with which to present its label to you like a billboard on the shelf. Other round bottles may be placed askew on the shelf obscuring their label, but only a retard could mess up the orientation when placing a square bottle on a shelf.
Black label looks classier than Beam's white label. Thats probably the jist of it.
>>20423789>round bottles may be placed askew on the shelf obscuring their label, but only a retard could mess up the orientation when placing a square bottle on a shelf.You clearly have never been inside a Walmart.
>>20424063Are Walmart's not staffed by retards?
Fuck, now I want some Jack Daniels. It just tastes good.
>>20424085>Are Walmarts not staffed by retards?Each Walmart is staffed by a highly curated team of experts who are trained in their area expertise. When a member of the team desires to develop a mastery of their chosen field, they are introduced to what are called "Sam's Modules," which are computer courses designed and created by Sam Walton himself, to help boost each and every staff member to the highest level possible. All this was done because we do not believe that unions have a place in the American workplace. Unions are a creation of socialists, and we haven't forgotten about what socialists (BLM and Antifa) have been up to for the last decade, have we? Do we need that kind of anarchy and chaos? Absolutely not. Thank you, and have a good night.
>>20423746Country music probably. I never liked whiskey though. Only liquor I like is brandy.
>>20423781Evan Williams and Makers are both better and around the same price.
>>20423746Advertising. That's all.
>>20424909This. People shit on makers for being overhypes buts just a nice smooth and fat whiskey, absolutely perfect party booze
Do Amerians really believe this is anything more than bottom shelf?
>>20426237>Do Amerians really believe this is anything more than bottom shelf?It's only teenagers and single women who work at walmart in their 50s as cashiers who drink it
>>20423770I started drinking gin at 13, it's not pretentious.
>>20426237It's not bottom shelf, but you can do better for the same priceIt had a successful marketing campaign 50 years ago where the name became synonymous with whiskey, simply by sponsoring every biker meet and southern sports event. Despite the huge corporate marketing dollars backing it, customers still perceived it as a humble no-frills local brewery thanks to the label. It's like something you'd see on the shelf in a saloon in 1910. If its good enough for your grandpappy then it's good enough for youAnd regional whiskey quality was generally a crapshoot, Jack Daniels at least established a consistent quality in the same way Budweiser did.
>>20423746because of this imageI don't really like liquor. But I'm an alcoholic, I just like beerI also like Led Zeppelinand Jim Page chugging Jack Danielsis why I would choose Jack Danielsbecause I want to be like Jim Page

I've got the opportunity to purchase a $330 bottle of bourbon that I can sell second hand for $650-900. Would you keep it in the chance it'll increase in value in the future? Keep it and drink it? Or just resell now while the bourbon market still exists?

>>20424909>Jim Beam and Wild Turkey are both better and around the same price.FTFY
Latched onto by ostentatious testosterone-performative types. "If I drink it I'll be badass and art of manliness". I'm more about cognac when I drank. Which is what nigs drink when they want to do ostentatious class-performance. "if I drink this I won't be a hood rat".
>>20423746For something so closely associated with tough hardcore rockstars it sure tastes a lot like a girldrink.
>>20427623Turkey absolutely mogs in that price range
It's way too overpriced nowadays.
>>20427652Kek.>surely this Hennesy won't associate me with those ghetto ruffians
idk it tastes good with cola
>>20427808It has an incredibly distinct flavor profile that is hands down the best with coke.
jack daniels has a distinctive taste that sets it apart, i don't know what it is, maybe the charcoal filtering. it's enjoyable to drink neat. i don't see it in the same league as something like jim beam which is best described as generic
>>20427819Jim beam is super fucking genericOne step up from bottom shelfIt's young, it tastes young, but it's cheap, it has a little bit of that beam peanutty thing, but very forgettable generic cheap bourbon tasteAnything JD that's not black label is actually really good. They really just fucked up when they watered black down to 80
>>20423770Gin is hardly pretentious, it's just vodka with flavour, some pretty drinkable. Anyone who buys "top shelf" vodka is a worthless cunt. You are paying for the bottle and bragging rights and literally nothing more, whisky at least has difference in quality you can taste
>>20427349Drink it man and have some fun, post some pics too.
>>20427908Stupid girls like it, they're programmed into it, and guys are programmed into girls, there's the marketing / advertising swamp.

>>20429103>drunk dullard does/says something stupidAnd if I check my calendar... yep, day ending with 'Y.'
>>20427908Many, not most, but damn close, use gin as a base spirit. The juniper and botanicals mesh with citrus well, and is easily improved with a bittering spirit. Try a gin gimlet. It's easy; 2.5oz dry gin, .5oz fresh lime juice, .5oz simple syrup, shake and strain.Delicious!
>>20428466I would rather have 12 $100 bottles of bourbon. I imagine the difference in quality from a $100 bottle to this is not as great as you think. Shit like this is almost as retarded as Louis XIII cognac for $4300.
>>20429300Well it's not super easy to sell it for that price, I'm thinking more realistic to sell it local is more likely to see ~$700-900. And I've gotta pay $330 for it to start, so that's ~$300-600 profit.
>>20423770>middle of the shelf and cheapishIt's bottom shelf, and frequently a house spirit. >>20429300The best whisky I've ever had was like 3k a bottle (Indie CS 30y/o Springbank). Honestly it's like 5 or 10% better than $100 bottles. And there's a lot of worse shite out there bottled at 40ish% for 10x as much.
>>20423746Well damn, it's not that bad. Mostly based on one hell of a marketing campaign, but it's drinkable.
>>20423746it's slightly better than jim beam, but beam is almost always 20% cheaper and when you're a broke loser, all those extra dollars add up each month. I havn't had the balls to try ballentine's, old grampa, or any of the other bottom shelf shit. beam is about as low as I'll go even in the bleakest of times. Trader joes has wild turkey 100 for 20 bucks rn and that's been good to me.
>all these pretentious fags itt pretending to care about / like the flavor of liquorlmao, lmfao even. all liquor with an alc % > 20% tastes like shit. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Yes, some tastes less shit than others, but that's usually with regards to vodka tasting better than whiskey, or gin tasting better than scotch, etc. Within the same family of liquor you're fucking retarded if you're really caring about something that tastes like poop, tasting maybe 5% less like poop.Alcohol is for getting drunk. Get something mid-range, take a shot, and chase it with an actually good tasting beverage (soda).Fucking alcohol always brings out the "hurr durr I'm a sophisticated adult because I'm an expert at drinking and tasting alcohol hurr durr". Pathetic cringe.
>>20429809Maybe try out Evan Williams, I've heard on good regard that it's a respectable whiskey.
>>20429889yeah ive heard this same thing by like ten different irl people but like i said, i dont have enough balls...yet...but i'm getting more desperate these days so ya never know. I'm drinking beam rn btw on the rocks with water
>>20429867i am just glad dogs like you will continue to suffer by your own stupidity
>>20430634They're the morons protesting and preventing people from going to school, they should be ashamed.
>>20429941I don't understand why it takes balls to buy one of the best like Evan Williams over some girly swill like Beam? You do know that anything from Beam is from hookers and high school kids, rah rah rah.
>>20429941It's ok with coca-cola, the coke is the only redeeming factor.
>>20427623jim beam is fucking terrible you mong, it's the worst bourbon ever fucking produced. don't even get evan williams. you start at wild turkey and only go up.

>>20434385
>>20434399That was the 1 liter size and we have goofy prices here in New York state and I can it get delivered in about an hour. Prices are gonna vary between states and counties within states.
>>20434440Yeah but Evan williams is shit compared to highland park.Not to say highland park is worth $65, but they're not exactly directly comparable taste-wise.
>>20434447Understood but I can't justify paying 66 bucks for a little bottle like that.
>>20434459Quality > quantity
>>20434500I've known that since I was in HS yet import taxes and fees do not equate to quality.
>>20434500You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
>>20434581I have 2 bottles of e.williams bib. I panic bought them in January of the COVID panic. Haven't touched them since because I don't have any reason to drink cheap booze when I always have something tastier. Forget that specific bottle of scotch and try to understand for some people alcohol is not a commodity product where price trumps all other concern.

>>20434292scotch prices have gone bonkers after 2019
>>20440868Good. Maybe people wouldn't poison themselves as much if it was more discouragingly expensive.
>>20440936There aren't too many people buying $50+ bottles and drinking them every few days.Most people buying $50+ bottles are drinking a few shots worth a week at most.
>>20440941Like I said, poisoning themselves.
>>20440948
>>20440936People who want to poison themselves will just buy something other than expensive scotch.
>>20440967Whether they want to or not is irrelevant, that's what they're doing.
>>20440976Do you consider someone drinking half a bottle of wine once or twice a week with dinner to be "poisoning" themselves?
>>20426419This is the only real answer. It was considered low quality in the US in the 60s, but some influencial British rock bands became vocal fans of it because it was a novelty when they visited the US. American rock bands started copying them and Jack became even more popular. It was like the official drink of rock bands and it had a certain cache because of that. Rock is basically dead and zoomers like whatever rappers like now, so JD isn't really popular with anyone but poors and rednecks now like it used to be.
>>20440987If you can "feel it," you've had too much, in the same way that feeling sick after eating salt means you've had too much salt.

>>20440997You didn't answer the question.Do you consider someone having 2 glasses of wine with dinner twice a week to be "poisoning themselves"?And by the same metric, how is having 1 shot of whisky twice a week any different?
>>20441002>You didn't answer the question.You're drunk.
>>20441008I haven't had a drink in 2 weeks, and my last drink was a single shot of ardbeg wee beastie.Some of us have self-control and simply enjoy the taste of an occasional good whisky.
I don't understand how people can stomach shit like Jack Daniels. No one would drink this shit if ''Jack Daniels'' didn't sound like some cool Western name. You actually drink it and it has this slimy oily texture and tastes like lipstick, just straight up lipstick. It doesn't taste like whiskey at all, just this strong fatty chemical taste. Compare it to any regular whiskey and it's just baffling. Regular whiskey has the consistency of water and has a strong taste of alcohol and muh notes come after that. Jack Daniels hits you with the oily lipstick taste and texture and when you swallow it lingers in your throat like the fat is coating your entire mouth and throat.
>>20440967I'm surprised no one has tested how much extra microplastics/nanoplastics/forever chemicals leach out from plastic jugs and bottles when they contain alcohol. It's gotta be several orders of magnitude greater.Plain neutral-pH water in plastic bottles already has a shit ton as it is.
>>20441182They stopped making those after that pic went viral and they got a ton of negative feedback.
>>20441203There's still plenty of liquor that comes in plastic bottles - they may not be that kind of jug and may look like glass until you pick them up, but they're still plastic.
>>20440941750ml is only 25 oz. keep your pours to 1/2 oz and you can pour it 50 times. if you only pour it once every other month you get years of use per bottle. sure some stuff you will want to pour more often but if you do it only 1 oz every 3 months you should average about one bottle per every 3 years. get some mid shelf "guard bottles" and put them at the front of your storage to keep you out of the good shit outside special occasions.
>>20423746just popular, nothing more. very mediocre
>>20424909evan williams gets me sick
>>20424909Very true.>>20427623Also true, but Jim Beam tastes too corn-y for me.
>>20423746best whiskey for a whiskey sour. I hold the egg white. lately I’ve been making what I call a “sweet and sour” which is half a lemon and half a navel orange instead of a full lemon because drinking 8 lemons in a night can get rough on a guy

>>20444979Yeah and Yamazaki 18 used to be $100/bottle.Times change.
