well we have a beer thread, why not one for the fairer tipple? be it your favourite bottle or a smartprice worthy excuse, we would like your whisky/whiskey reviews here please!
no jack daniels/bells/famous grouse/ 'i drink mine with coke!' on pain of flame.
currently drinking: balvenie single malt.
rich and smoky speyside number, goes down like a razor blade in a strepsil, like all the best stuff. compensates with a very pleasant woody sweetness and a gentle hangover.
8.5/10

jack daniels' success is purely down to their advertising.

'Preciate the offer but no thanks. I could give you the number of someone else who's already killed their inhibitions and tastebuds, though?

Glenfiddich, 9/10.
Can't say much more about it as I was disgustingly drunk.

its not bad for a commercial bottle, the 15 year single is a very good whisky actually. chances are you were drinking the 8 blended year at a pub though

Jack Daniels makes a Single Barrel variety in addition it's other lines of fine quality whiskey. While the single barrel is a bit expensive, it is excellent whiskey.

finishing off a bottle of highland park right now. Always important to have a bottle of decent whisky somewhere close to hand.

It was a vintage reserve, although the year escapes me.
Special occasions for the win.

blue wkd makes you feel like a 6 year old with them blur raspberry ice lollies, as well as getting mildly pissed. it's great.

What's everyone's favorite bottle of Jack Daniels?
I like to keep a 200 ml bottle on hand for travel purposes.
But generally, I buy the 1.5 liter size bottle. Does anyone else like that one? Or are you more about the 750 ml size?
