Jack Daniels

[Marty63]

Part of my Bucket list is to try this drink.

For decades have seen characters in films drink the stuff

not a whiskey drinker, more vodka

foe some reason thought it was going to be a similar to Southern comfort experience.

So just had a can of Cidre and have two fingers of Jack Daniels (ooh err)


have been supping away at it for ten mins and it is fking awful,

have been pulling faces like a bulldog licking piss of a thistle

another bottle at the back of the cupboard never to see light again.

just thought i would share in case anyone else is inquisitive

Dont

[Podie]

It's dirty, and not in a good way.

Coke was invented to disguise the taste.

[Stedman]

Like seeing tub girl for the first time - grotty.

[BertB]

You must be doing it wrong

Is it an old bottle you've had laying around?

Try it over rocks, or with a dash of coke, by the sounds of it you probably need more than a dash

[jjones]

awful stuff

[Fishtigua]

The stuff stinks like cheap perfume.

OP, I'd try moving away from JD, and try some of this:



If you still don't like the flavour, then stick to your distilled potato juice

keep on reaching for those rainbows

When my ex called me to tell me she was pregnant, I bought a bottle from the bar and proceeded to get incredibly drunk at a table, on my own. I pretended I was celebrating.

It's alright, not my tipple of choice. I tend to get it bought by a sibling for my birthday, and will have a 'jack and coke' if i want something to sip slowly in the pub. Heavy marketing more than anything is keeping this drink prominent.

That said, has anyone tried Gentleman Jack? Is that any better?

[hornetrider]

What else is on this bucket list?

Trip to Burger King?
Take a ride on a train?
Mow a lawn?

[Stu R]

Gentleman Jack is a lovely tipple, not a huge fan of regular JD but it's OK. If you're not a whisky drinker it'll probably all taste and smell the same though.

Much prefer Kentucky Bourbons to Tennessee turps, Elijah Craig, Woodford reserve, Maker's Mark, Wild turkey, all wonderful.

After one infamous night at Spa, when three of us drank two litres of the stuff between us, I haven't touched it since.

Even the smell of it makes me feel ill.

[Cheese Mechanic]

The last bottle of JD I had, literally tasted of soap , never again.

[davepoth]

I used to drink it to punish myself.

Well, I will break the mould here and say that I actually like it.

4 cubes of ice in a glass, and pour until the tip of the ice is just covered, then leave for 5 mins.

Sip slowly, and I think it is very nice. There are nicer whiskeys out there - Makers Mark, Gentleman Jack etc, but I find the regular stuff is just fine.

Just don't put coke in it!

it reminds me of being a fresher. drank way too much of it, threw up a fair bit of that, and whenever i get a whiff i'm instantly reminded of our halls bar.

as kiteless suggests, makers mark is a far better drink and is very nice on it's own over ice, something you could never say about JD.

Can't touch this or Southern Comfort without gagging, thanks to my misspent youth.
