August 18, 201214 yr It's not black and white for me. If I'm in the mood for a mixer, then it's Jack & Coke. If not, it's Jim. Actually Makers or Buffalo Trace, but if out of those, Jim.
August 21, 201214 yr Only drink Jack Daniels if someone bought it for me at a bar or its the Groom's wedding drink. Any bourbon over Jack. As some have said, its not just a matter of Kentucky pride, I just like the taste better. My cheap is Ancient Age 90 proof.
August 22, 201214 yr It's like picking between Don Henley (Jim Beam) and Garth Brooks (Jack Daniels) -- Beam is only slightly more redeemable than JD. But both are wholly awful, and not recommended for human consumption.

August 22, 201214 yr I watched a program on the History Channel about a year ago, and it stated that the only thing that makes Jack Daniels a whiskey instead of a bourbon is the charcoal filtration process they use after aging the whiskey. To be a bourbon, it has to 1) be made of a grain mixture altleast 51% Corn, 2) distilled to no more than 160 Proof, 3) entered into the barrel at no more than 125 Proof, 4) bottled at no less than 80 Proof, 5) no coloring or flavoring added beyond what the barrel provides, 6) aged in a new, charred Oak barrel, 7) aged for atleast 2 years, 8) and made in the US. Along with the charcoal filtration (which some will argue does not disqualify as a bourbon, not sure about this one), I do not believe Jack Daniels uses charred barrels.
August 22, 201214 yr If you want a better Tennessee Whiskey, go with George Dickel. Not marketed near as well as Jack but tastes better.
August 22, 201214 yr Also, Bourbon does not have to be made in KY but 96% is made in KY due to the Lime Stone Water which gives bourbon a better taste.

August 23, 201214 yr Dickel Barrel Select is very good. Hmmmmm. My have to grab a bottle along with a few of the mentioned bourbons on a thread earlier about Bourbon favorites.

August 23, 201214 yr Pounded many Jack and Cokes as a 20 year old but give me Beam but at least make it 7 year. 4 year is way too immature for my liking.
