Jack Daniels is fucking disgusting. Some people even dare to consider it whiskey, which is a fucking disgrace.
Jack Daniels not being in Canada anymore is a net positive for me because i never accidentally get jack when I ask for whiakey.
Jack Daniels is as close to whiskey as America is close to Berlin.
Well, there's a town in the US called Berlin. Apparently EDM people go there asking around for the Berghain, super funny haha
the US IS A COUNTRY, Berlin is a TOWN. thats Check and a Mate.
Berlin is a state and a city, not a town.
(At least not in Germany)
But they are very close distance wise, as one is inside the other. But if you mean the city of Berlin in Germany, then yeah, far apart in both form factor and distance.
I am talking about relations. a town is no where near a country. Jack Daniels is no where near real whiskey
There are also city states.

I wanna know how you buy just two packets of ramen.
What, do they sell the packets individually at a corner store?
Where I shop, individual packets are your only option if you want something other than basic chicken or beef flavor.

As a Tennessean, drink something else. Because of Jack Daniels legal thca is being criminalized in the state starting July 1.
Fuck them then, I'm taking reccomendations in the price range!
if you are looking for whiskey: Westward, Dickel, Clemens, 6666, Tincup, Heavens door, Westland, Balcones or Bear fight are good options.
If its Bourbon: Highwest, Redwood empire, smoke wagon, Penelope, Remus, Pursuit, Old forester, Michters, Russell's, Dancing panda, Lasso, Hirsch,Four roses, Basil Hayden are all good to decent options
For Scotch: monkey shoulder, Glenfiddich, Drambuie, Aberlour, Brenne, Dewars, Glenlivet and Singleton are good options
for Irish whiskey: Jameson, Writters tears, Red Breast, Slãint, and Whistler are decent picks.
For Japanese whisky: Toki (white or black) kikori and Nikka and Sato Hiki are good Japanese picks
For Canadian Whisky: Pendleton, crown, black velvet, Pike Creek and forty creek are decent options.
I tried going with options I have not seen in the comments and I tried to make sure very few was MGP or other white label distilleries. Also I was aiming in the 30ish to 60ish USD range.
FOR THE PRICE, Buffalo Trace always seemed okay for me, mostly for cocktails, but I'm not a big liquor guy. I remember loving Angel's Envy Bourbon years ago, but it wasn't super cheap.
Buffalo trace is awesome but it's got a huge shortage
Buffalo Trace is a solid option and I agree mainly for cocktails, and most of the Angles Envy around me starts at $60ish. But also good stuff.
Lafroig is great and cheap of you like really smoky Scotch Oban is a step up and less smoky.
Laphroaig tastes like a burnt-down hospital by the seaside.
It was legal to sell in pharmacies during the prohibition because the authorities didn't think anyone would drink it for fun.
Fools
Bullet is also a solid affordable whiskey, coming higher end of take Blanton's over anything on your list

lol poverty and alcoholism
Black Label is the absolute minimum I'll go. When times are better, Aberlour 16 or Glenfarclas 15.
I was in the same boat until I discovered the glory of Famous Grouse. It’s not bad, not great, $32 for a handle and hits about the same as black label. I’d still prefer a nice single malt, but times are tough.
You must be poor drinking that swill.
I can buy cheaper alcohol that is better quality than the swill that Jack Daniels is.
Yeah, when I'm broke I drink old crow

ewww, what horrid whisky choice. I'd almost rather drink everlcear then touch that putrid stuff.
See, the way I like Jack, I like it because its horrible and shitty.
There are many much better, much more well rounded bourbons and whiskeys.
But sometimes, the point is to basically kick yourself in the face, via a drink.

Is that a 375ml bottle? That one is the 2nd worst priced bottle to buy next to the 1 liter bottle. Idk why they price them so awful but they do. Best priced is 1.75 liter then 750ml followed by the pint bottle which is the first bottle pictured here i believe. Source, worked in liquor store for 3 years.
