Any good??

It ain't easy bein green

Why don't you go buy a bottle, drink about a third or so of it and then post to tell us what you think about it and any other threads that you find interesting at the time.

Be sure to keep drinking and posting, so we can get an on-the-fly taste test report.

It's the Cbid way.

not as good as black

Sorta reminds me of Hog . . .

marc - just a technicality but Jack ain't bourbon, bub. It's Tennessee whiskey. To me, Jack doesn't hold a candle to any self-respecting bourbon. Much harsher on my palate.

I did drink a boat-load of it at one time though, carried a flask of it around when I was young and stupid......er. It was the black label though as you can't get the green in my part of the country, at least you used to couldn't. Not sure anymore. I would always grab a bottle for my self and one for a buddy of mine whenever I went south but we both lost our taste for it. Back then, we thought it was better. Seemed smoother even though it's younger.

Hog doesn't have an exclusive on drunk posting around here.

Not going to name names, but it's a long list, not right to single him out.

I used to like Jack, black label. I heard hoyodude didn't like it. Then I started hating it.

Lot of good sippin' whiskeys out there...not many are the cheapest on the shelf. Good rule of thumb...if there are two versions of the same product on the shelf, and one is cheaper, there's usually a reason for that.

My $.02.

Does seem a little smoother and has different, perhaps mellower taste than Black Label.

I mix it with Coke (as in Cola, I can hear you jack*sses now). Pretty much have to, for both JD varieties, although I haven't had the single barrel, Gentlemen Jack, or any other higher end JD. All of them is too sweet for me not to mix. To me, it's not sippin' whiskey. It's drinkin' whiskey.

But yeah. Gimme sixpack of Coke (see above), some ice, a bottle of Green label, and I can catch a decent buzz.

fret

"...I heard hoyodude didn’t like it. Then I started hating it."

pac, I knew you were a smart man.....I wish the lawyers around here were that smart.....

Thanks for the advise guys! I went with the #7 and its treating me pretty well(as usual! Ill pick up the bottle of the green at some point and let ya know how it goes.

#10

I like sippin on Gentleman's Jack but its a little out of the price range for everyday...

Hoyodude is right about one thing, Jack ain't Bourbon. By law Bourbon is only made in Bourbon county Kentucky. Other than that they are the same, but like all whiskeys there is great variety in taste and flavor.

Personally, I like the a number of other whiskeys and Bourbons better than Jack. George Dickel and Evan Williams to name a few. I like my whiskey smooth and without a lot of bite; sour mash, or sipping whiskey as its called.

I used to get this at a local PX This went down soooo smooth. Don't mix it drink it straight. I'm glad to see the local stores carrying it now

Jack. George Dickel and Evan Williams ...all are Sour Mash....

Knob Creek...... Bulleit.....Dickel 12......Maker's Mark.... all better than Jack IMHO... but I still drink alot of Jack...

too much according to the wife!
