Perhaps, as Jack Daniels has the same parent company as Glendronach, he assumed it would be nice.

I know somebody who loves the stuff. She guzzles huge quantities. I forget how awful it is and try a glass every few years. Although it isn't as tooth-achingly sickly as that appalling whisky-liqueur Southern Comfort, it does leave you feeling as though a whole chocolate orange has been forced into your mouth and the residue polished off with a solution of Vics Vapour Rub and meths.

Jack actually pairs really nicely with twenty Marlboro.

I assumed he just got some sort of deal on it through work tbh!

I quite like Jack tbf. Takes me back to my yoof in metal clubs. Also I'm not really that into whisky - can appreciate and enjoy a nice one but never really caught the bug for hunting down the perfect single malt.

Ahh, the Marlboros first to block off your taste buds you mean?

Don't get me wrong, it's OK as a mixer with Cola and whatnot, but it tastes awful when neat IMO.

It's a bit like cheap tequila in that respect. That Sierra stuff you always get in pubs goes with salt and lime for a reason - because it tastes like crap. However I've had several more expensive tequilas which taste really nice just with a bit of ice and nothing else.

It's all a matter of taste, though. I think JD tastes bad; other people love it. That's fine. I'm not a fan of most cheap blended Scotch whiskys either, but on the other hand, I do like dirt-cheap London dry gin. I'll drink that neat or with mixers. I'm not denying that there are better gins but I feel lucky that I'm happy with what I get at £10 per bottle instead of £40.

I think it depends on the bottle. I'm not a fan of many cheap blended whiskys like Johnny Walker, but I find Famous Grouse to be fine for a cheaper blend, and some of the slightly more expensive blends like the Naked Grouse are genuinely very good! Chivas Regal is also perfectly OK to my palette.

Can mostly say the same for cheap anything, though. Depends what your use is.

Sierra is fine if you're going to mix it with grenadine and orange juice for a Sunrise as the tequila is a background player. But an El Diablo is very tequila forward (if made fairly short with limited ginger ale) and benefits from a good quality tequila.

And for a slammer I definitely want a good tequila as that's what I'm mainly going to be tasting. In fact, we finished off our Xmas bottle of patron gold as slammers last week.

I don't drink many straight spirits, most of them really don't taste good like that to me. There are some whiskies and bourbons I enjoy straight, and occasionally a dark and/or spiced rum, but mostly my spirits go into cocktails. Going to experiment with some sours recipes using the Jack, might tame the sweetness a bit.

When (if!) they allow building on Pavia, I'm curious as to how tall a penis they'll allow me to build. Childish? Me? Fuck, yes!

I've sampled a few single malts and found them generally pleasant but unmemorable. I think I prefer blended, but maybe I'm just a cheap drunk. My fave going on for a few years now is Islay Mist, allegedly 8-yo and blended with Laphroig.

Inland, not far from a lake, adjacent to a miamiesque 3x3 plot owned by one grizzledOil15118.

So, how are things going in Pavia these days - or have you moved?
