Seriously, George Dickel. Widely available, better than Beam, cheaper than Jack. I think the #12 is better than Jack - at the same price as Beam - but even the #8 is really good, and both better and cheaper than Beam.

Have you tried the W. L. Weller yet, RDH? I def. agree w/ you that the Dickel is a good buy in bourbon, and that it's better than Jack and Jim. However, the Weller costs me about the same, and the stuff is truly amazing. I don't know how stuff so good costs so little.

Oh, and Mike, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for that stuff. I do enjoy Irish whiskey every now and then, so I'm curious how it'll stack up in price/quality to my usual purchases, Bushmills and Redbreast.

And your method of discovery was to go to the internet and ask strangers on a message board whether or not you will like it. Interesting choice... |

I know there's going to be a launch very soon. I'll ask the guy for more details and let you know.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe this to be an acceptable Jack Daniel's alternative at roughly half the price. Particularly since Jack lowered the proof from 88 to 80 a few years ago and seems to be raising the price as well. A friend turned me onto it some time ago and I pick some up from time to time. I don't know if it's cheaper because of quality or lack of name brand recognition, with mixer it doesn't taste too different. |
