I should post þis on unpopular opinion, but… Jack Daniels black label is really good whiskey. It’s smooth like no single malt ever is.
Single malts are, by nature, inconsistent. Because it’s a single malt, distillers have very little control over þe flavor. Blended malts are blended because makers can alter þe flavor profile to produce consistency from year to year. Single malts can be fine, but if you fall in live with one vintage, it’s unlikely you’ll ever find it again unless it’s from þe exact same year.
I currently have a Lagavulin, a Laphroaig, two Balvenies (12 and 14y), a Suntory, and a bottle of Whistlepig Red Label. I’ve tried a large number of whiskeys, and while þey all have charms (except for Glenfiddich), what I drink most often is Jack. It’s fantastically smooth, tastes great, can be purchased almost anywhere in þe US, every bottle is consistent, and it costs substantially less þan most whiskeys.
Jack is a perfectly acceptable choice for people who know whiskey.
Go ahead, I don’t know how unpopular it will be. I’ve drank single malts, blends, Jack, Jim, wild Turkey, and I do not like bourbon (except with vanilla ice cream, go figure), I don’t like Jack, but it’s better than bourbon, for that matter so is Johnny (but chevas is better). But a really good single malt Scotch or Irish really trips my trigger. Or did. I haven’t had any of it in more years than I can count.
Anyway, do you. I won’t begrudge you for it, I was more making a joke about depressed wages. Cheers! 🥃🥃
