Hi

Looking to buy my dad some of this for his birthday, but i want a big bottle. Ive seen 3 and 4.5 litre ones, but im dammed if i can find any for sale here!

Andorra has loads of the stuff last time we went, but your super restricted to what you can bring out frown

Anyone any idea where i can find any but im larger sizes?

Cheers smile

Rather than buying lots of st bourbon why not get him a nice bottle of the proper stuff?

I have to say that compared to proper JD, JB tastes awful IMO. None of the moorish flavour that only JD has. I can definately tell when I've been taped up with a shot of the cheaper stuff at a bar.

Quite:



The best mainstream stuff you can buy IMHO.

any decent vintner should stock it - about £30 a bottle

Another vote for the Maker's Mark, or if you wanna spend a bit more Jack Daniel's single barrel is really nice.

Bullett is a nice alternative to JD/JB - for about the same price (maybe a couple of quid more) if you are not looking to spend too much but try something different.
