Would try again, as soon as I regain my bravery.

Old crow is okay too, I really like bullit rye, but it's kinda expensive.

Old Overholt is really the only cheap rye on the market that is available just about anywhere. Fortunately it is good drink at a reasonable price.

Evan Williams actually pre dates Jack Daniels.

It's great for such a cheap price. Great mixer, passable on the rocks with a dash of bitters. Keep some around for old fashioneds.

Why the hell you guys would want to drink a cheaper version of Jack Daniels is beyond me. poo poo is nasty. Get yourself some JimBeam. It's still great even if it's owned by the Japanese now.

Also Seagram's is good.
Jack Daniels has only succeeded on the back of its strong marketing campaign, it tastes like hobo balls and is inferior to the cheaper Evan Williams - a fine poor man's whiskey. Jim Beam isn't great but will do in a pinch. Seagrams lacks character but very cheap and very drinkable.

The only bottle of Old Crow I ever bought I dumped 90% of it down the sink, poo poo was rough.

We are going camping together this weekend, I don't drink every day, he does, and I might just be the best friend he has so...

Yeah I blacked out on wild turkey 101 a few months ago too, this never seems to happen after 18-30 beers, I need to sip it in a glass or start mixing, I'm getting too old for out of the bottle directly.

On the contrary, I love whiskey. I just usually drink middling brands like Wild Turkey or Bushmill's. Seagram's 7 if I'm feeling cheap. I will forever stand by JD being poo poo.

Jack Daniels is perfectly respectable if simple for its price. And I'm a guy that never buys or even orders it.

If you wanna talk rotgut, that'd be my beloved Black Velvet or LTD.

Read the fine print on the bottle sometime. It's not whiskey, it's "grain alcohol with whiskey flavoring"

e: McCormick's that is; Evan Williams is decent

afaik it's like 40% whiskey and 60% grain alcohol, or at least that's what the label said when I would buy it years ago.

As a retail slave who is stuck in the Kafkaesque nightmare of liquor store management I'm going to have to agree with Evan Williams black as the best cheap whiskey.


Seagram's 7 is a neutral spirit blend, by the way. Not actually whiskey.

straight bourbon is not allowed to have caramel coloring in it

Any "Blended Whiskey" is mostly cheap vodka and food coloring, with I think the last 20% being actual bourbon whiskey because it's the number required by law before you can't use the word whiskey. Kentucky Gentleman is 51/49, I think, so it can call itself Bourbon Whiskey instead of Blended.
