Imagine if anyone really cared whether it was bourbon or whisky :laughing:

"Jack Daniels meets the US Federal Laws in order for it to be called a bourbon whiskey."

This was said by Robert, who ever the F he is.

This is my favourite Sour Mash. Over priced or not, If I like it, I'll buy it

Most over rated whiskey on the market. Also It's Tennessee whiskey, not bourbon.

This guy......

Good price - seems to do this a few times a year when I stock up. Normally goes to £15 per 70cl at Christmas, but this is a great price for 1l.
Heat from me.

same price for the honey as well £20 for 1 ltr

Good price for a litre, but there are much better bourbons for about the same money.

Most over rated whiskey on the market. Also It's Tennessee whiskey, not bourbon.

Thanks OP

At this price I will be investing! Thanks very much.

Come on man, it's a bourbon. Everyone knows it's a bourbon, don't be silly.

Well, the Buffalo Trace was around £17 in Morrisons at the beginning of the month for one.

Yes! I was going to order some from Asda for £25 but I'm glad I waited. Not had any of this stuff for over 3 months! HOT!

Will wait till Friday and get some from Tesco with the price match and staff double discount :smile:

Top banana fair play

Lidls used to do a decent cheap sour mash whisky (Western Gold I think it was called). Dont know if they still sell it but once added with Coke you couldn't tell it apart from JD. Anyways voted hot for this deal as I'll be stocking up :smiley:

£18 in Morrison's , this JD deal is £14 in comparison (price per 70cl) so I'd rate this as a better deal.

​Bourbon comes from Bourbon County in Kentucky. This is Tennessee whiskey which is why nothing sold by JD has the word 'bourbon' on it.

Correct.

No it doesn't. bourbon county is dry. There are no distillery's there. You're not far off the reason though...

The only state that can be associated with bourbon is Kentucky. you can't have a Tennessee Bourbon or a Mississippi Bourbon. Tennessee wanted there own drink and "Tennessee Whiskey" was born. It's legally classified as a bourbon. It drinks like a bourbon. It crosses state lines as a "bourbon"... It's a bourbon.


No argument it's a good deal, I'm just saying that you can find a nicer drink for about the same price if you want.

Not fussed on Buffalo Trace, tried it but didn't have much taste. However always grab JB Devils cut or Bulleit when they occasionally drop to £16.

what's the sour mash like?

I do like Bulleit. Used to be £15 for 70cl regularly, but seems to be creeping up in price lately.

Il try some of that when the JD runs out

Then you and everyone need to do some simple research.

or wild turkey from Morrison's at the moment but it does work out at £21.50 a Lt

You need to stop believing everything some marketing department tells you.

this is no better than famous grouse get woodford instead £25 in asda

Hot :smiley::smiley:

Just been to Sainsburys in Coventry and It is £23 not £20. Same goes for the Honey.

£18 ltr in the sainsburys near me today!

I still have stock from when Morrissons were selling 1L for £15

Does it works with new account codes?

Bide your time and Morrisons will have it for £15 before too long along with deals on chocolate tubs, Baileys and boxes of beer.

Bulliet Bourbon was £17 delivered on Amazon not too long ago.

This is £23 a litre in York (not £20).

JB Devil's Cut is £16.50 at Asda at the moment. Highly recommend it for that price and it's 45% :laughing:

Anyone tried Aldi's Clarke bourbon for £11.49 for 700ml... https://www.aldi.co.uk/p/63794/0

Anyone tried Aldi's Clarke bourbon for £11.49 for 700ml... https://www.aldi.co.uk/p/63794/0

Imagine if anyone really cared whether it was bourbon or whisky :laughing:

£23 in Swansea and the assistant said they only honour prices on Sainsburys website and nowhere else.

Honey one for me tomorrow! :smile:

online it is £20

It's got great reviews, also mentions a honey version but hasn't been in stock lately. Cheers will be giving this a try. :smiley:

Weird post. The title is overly long ("Jack Daniels 1L, £20" would be fine thanks), and what is that address in the description? "The manufacturer"? I don't think JD is manufactured in London.

Cold.

Hmph can't use a new customer voucher on spirits

It's made all over the place. The stock image says Tennessee, I've had bottles made from all over the UK.

Fosters is made in the UK too

No it isn't, all JD is made in Lynchburg, Tennessee.

Still have the full bottle from when it was £18 for the 1 litre at Morrisons a while back

Absolute textbook example of a hipster.

Are you kidding?

I'd rather drink Domestos.

Buffalo Trace is so much better (imo)

That'll be the importer not the manufacturer

Buy and bottle and check the back

Buy a bottle and check the back

If it says "imported by ....." I'll apologise for my comments. But if it's says "produced At .... brewers in England" the you can all send me a bottle of JD

Go on, get it down you. :laughing:

My daughters favourite. Personally there are many much better and cheaper. Cheap if you like it.

Please do.

8 years old Scottish whisky from Aldi is better then this. And for £12

Why do people have to say i'd rather drink bleach, so and so is better. Same comments all the time.

If people like JD then its a good price. Go buy and enjoy it.

Eh? I don't need to buy a bottle thanks. It is common knowledge that ALL JD is produced in Tennessee?! That's why it's called a Tennessee whiskey and says distilled and bottled by Jack Daniel distillery on the front in big bold writing.

You are right. The back just says the London address

Voted hot as good price although give JD a miss usually. If you get a chance sample a bottle of George Dickel instead, that's the stuff actually drunk by those that know in TN (and always a bottle in my bag when I go out there

Saw this thread..... thought id take a look inside to see if anyone had drawn the distinction between bourbon and Tennessee whisky. Was not disappointed, would read again.

It's actually a bourbon not a banana. Get to know what you're talking about...jeez.. :stuck_out_tongue:

double discount on spirits?have sainsburys staff discount and cant use on spirits,was told other supermarkets dont accept staff discounts on spirits?

If you really want to save cash, keep the £20 in your pocket. You get to save £20 AND avoid having to drink sour mash/bourbon/whiskey, etc.. it's all clearly foul.

£30 in the sainsburys opposite Holborn station.

​Dry county means nothing. Lynchburg is a dry town and the JD distillery is there. Dry means you can't drink it. Nothing stopping you from making it.

£20 in Torquay today

My mother charges the same

I can't believe I'm actually posting this, but, it's definitely not a bourbon.

Any whiskey can be a bourbon as long as it meets this criteria as established by an act of congress

Must be made in the United States.
Must contain 51 percent corn.
Must be aged in new oak charred barrels.
Must be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125 proof.
Must be bottled at no less than 80 proof.
Must not contain any added flavoring, coloring or other additives.

Jack Daniels is specifically not a bourbon, not because it's made in Tennessee but simply because it's charcoal filtered through sugar maple which I assume impacts the statement 'Must not contain any added flavoring, coloring or other additives'.

Jack Daniels themselves pass this of as 'Tennessee Whiskey' to in some way suggest it's different but also better than bourbon.

Good girl

​In general staff discount is applied to spirits but with some exceptions

Got a 1 litre jack Daniels honey tonight at sainsburys @ morecambe £20 thanks original poster

I have that at home now. Tastes better that JD IMO - less sweet. Its £11.99 and well worth a try.

Its bottled in the UK (or EU) as we have different bottle sizes - 70ML UK, 75ML US. Still distilled in Tennessee though.

You've assumed too much. JD is a Tennessee Whiskey, this is a subset of Bourbon, much the same as a Kentucky Whiskey is still a Bourbon.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_whiskey

Thanks got 2 bottles. Started one already tonight...... Oh well tomorrow is Friday....

Got the sour mash. Loads left.

Just as I'm running out this happens , so awesome. Hopefully Morrisons do it for £15 a litre at xmas again
