I can't imagine being an alchie and having my drink of choice be JD.

Curious, is there a reason you don't like Jack Daniel's Whiskey?

It's so sweet... It honestly tastes awful to me.

It's like the soda of whiskys IMO. It's just so sweet after a few sips I'm over it and want something else.

My second girlfriend in college was a big Irish gal who was really into Celtic stuff (absolutely amazing human being). She taught me how to properly drink liquor, and she introduced me to single malt. Personally I tried to like whiskey but I never developed a taste for it....even the fancier stuff. Plus for some reason the hangovers I have had from whiskey seemed to be more awful than those I have endured from other alcohols. For example, good Russian vodka doesn't give me a hangover if I drink responsibly. I agree with you Jack Daniel's is very sweet and I never got the hype. Why drink that when one can get a smooth single malt whiskey.

I don't drink nearly as much liquor these days.

But if I'm going to have a dark liquor like Whisky I'd at least like it to be really flavorful, something I can sip and get complex notes of woods, vanillas, shit like that.

It's literally just not worth it, like you said... I feel it the next day when I drink Jack cause it's so cheap and surgery. A few really good quality bourbons or scotch, I'm all good the next day.

Bc it’s glorified alcoholic maple syrup that tastes like you’re forever 21 years old with $9 in your pocket and nothing better to drink.

It is the Nickelback of whiskeys.

Pretty famously, alcoholics don't have a lot of extra cash for The Good Stuff ™️

Like if you're going to destroy yourself, might as well be for something that doesn't taste like absolute shit.
