Same in the U.S. I'm not an expert, but my friends who drink high end bourbon consider Jim Beam good for the price. I have tried their expensive stuff, but I can't tell the difference. I'm happy with my Jack.
Don’t get me started on whisky’s…. I do love a drop of Jack. Some of the high-end JDs are very nice.

That's what I hear. I find it funny that Jack has moved into the high end market. What are your favorite bourbons?
reply
Well, I got gifted a bottle of very drinkable Makers Mark and I do enjoy Gentleman Jack or JD Single barrel on special occasions. Wild Turkey Rare (?) was a nice find recently as well.
I do enjoy a drop of scotch as well.
How about you?

As I was saying earlier, I can't distinguish really good bourbon from mediocre. About 6 months ago I enjoyed an evening with an old friend and a bottle of Bulleit. I guess I did notice it went down a lot smoother than standard Jack.

Guess it doesn’t matter…Good company and ok bourbon beats ok company and good bourbon any day.
