Picked up my first bottle of Jack in a long while heading up to Mille Lacs last weekend for some fishing and forgot how good a simple Jack on the rocks can taste relative to the more expensive and/or heralded bourban/whiskey/single malts/blends one can purchase. I was content.

Should have bought Evan Williams. I too love Jack, but Evan is half the price, and identical in all other aspects.

Dude, I've had Evan and that wasn't really the point. :)

Oh, I know the "name" game. I don't order a shot of Evan at the bars. ;)

But hanging with friends? I won't think twice. :)

And yes, I also understand the sentimentality of a certain thing. However, didn't realize that was the whole point of your post. :p

Actually, I did. I was pre-occupied with other things at the time, and read your post at face value: beer and booze "snob" drinking a commercially accepted/snob snubbed booze. :D

So, how do you like the apples of THAT particular variety?

Underwhelmed by the new Crown Black. Glad I only got a pony bottle.

It's like it can't decide whether it wants to be Crown or Kraken rum, and the result is a mediocre mix of neither.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Yeesh. I'm still holding out hope for my bottle of Cask No. 16.

For what it's worth, I've heard very few complaints about the No. 16, other than its cost. ;) (lucky you getting as a gift)

I have a theory that after about $100-$150, you really start to get a HELL of a lot less bang for your buck. For instance, the difference between a $20 bottle of bourbon and a $40 bottle is much much greater than the difference between $100 and $150.

I've read many whiskey reviews in the last couple years, and most would tend to agree with you.

Well sure. The 20/40 is 2x the difference. The 100/150 is only 1.5x the difference. You get .5x more bang for the buck in the former case.

The same is true for many products/services. The difference between a $5 whore and a $50 whore is much bigger than difference between a $50,000 whore and a $500,000 whore.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

I wonder if there's a rule or law stating this theory... If I could only think of its name. Something obvious. Oh well, I give up.

Yeah, except if you're paying $500,000 for a whore, there's a good chance she's not a whore. Rather, she's probably a sex slave. We all know how that ends:

Don't buy Liam Niesen's daughter. Good rule to have.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

For tonight and the SB I picked up NB Abbey, Deschutes Black Butte and Tallgrass Oasis Ale. I'm sure most recognize the first two but I have never seen Tallgrass before. Comes in pint 4-pak cans and dare I say it gives any of Surly's hoppy brews a run for their money.
 
Re: Official Drinking Thread: I'm Having A 6-Pack Attack!: Part The Sixth

Unless you like really sweet beers, like Baltika 9 sweet, avoid the Grand Teton 2009 Weisenbock release. I'm probably pouring out the other half of the bottle. Yeah, a sad day.
