As of today I havn't had a drink in seven years. HooRah!

But a buddy of mine who is beginning to explore the pricer whiskey/scoth, etc asked me to ask some friends about this particular drink.

So can any of you folks tell me if this stuff is any good?

Thanks.

Congrats on your 7 years!!!!!!!!!!

Cant help you with the answer to your question though.

Dan as an avid scotch drinker. and not a huge fan of blended scotches, I would personally tell your friend to go with the green label. the gold and blue to me are over-hyped. this is just me. I personally drink the Single malts, and you can get quite a few for the price of Gold Label. this is just my word which means nothing.

and congrats on the seven years you're a better man than I.

My father in law and I have done taste tests with all the JW blends and we've found that the Gold is really, really, really close to the Blue at 1/3rd the price.

It's extremely smooth and well blended. But because of it's price, I savor it only on special occassions.

The Green is what I'll drink neat or with one ice cube. However, if you're going to have a party, go with the Black - since most people mix it anyway.

I was lucky enough to get a bottle of gold for about $40. I had some and thought it was good but nothing outstanding. when i was at the store the other day they were asking $90 for a bottle. i quickly put it down and walked away. If they can get it at a good price it is worth trying.

Congrats on the 7 years.

... save your $$$ - JW Red is just as good imo -

... now Gentleman Jack is worth the extra coin ... but a totally different drink altogether ...

... see if a local carries: Laphroaig - it's a single malt, aged either 10yrs or 15yrs ... not the typical 12/18/26 ...

- you only need 2 shots to make an incredible over the rocks ... then swich over to a cheaper bottle for anything more when your tastebuds are numb ...

Thanks guys!

Decent scotch, but as already noted, go for the single blends ..... lot's of good ones for less than the cost of the JW Gold, and better, IMO.
