Have seen many times where people have posted clearly what amount of liquid is in a bottle only to have others comment on what a crappy deal it is because they have seen better. Then it turns out they are talking about a different sized bottle.

You're right though, going into that level of detail in the title should not be necessary.

I once got a supermarket copy called Jim Bream.

Tasted fishy at first but I became hooked.

You know that if you don't drink it within 48 hours it goes off?

I'm not too sure why you needed to clarify that 70cl isn't 1 litre.

prefer this to jd.

oooh! This is my tipple and I had no idea that it actually came in litre bottles. Fab, thanks OP!

Yeh, don't I know it...

Still got some left from when it was £15 at Morrisons in December.

good find op, heat added

Stocked up on a few litres innit?

Sorry to be pedantic, it's 46 hours

I never beleive those rumoured times, prefer to be safe and not keep it on the shelf more than 24 hours once its been opened, (i book a holiday for the week)

I know 70cl =/= 1l

bought a ltr bottle in canaries a few weeks ago and vanished!!
my favorite budget bourbon, far better than jd for my taste

Oh you've got me licked , I'm in cheers

Ha! This site needs the smallest details for the dumb. I've posted Wild Turkey 101 at the cheapest it's been and it's gone cold with comments about it being wild turkey 81!!

I tried the copy (Western Gold) from Lidl and didn't like it.

Tastes nothing like Jim Beam.

Im a big fan of lidl but that western gold was terrible. For some reason i put it in the freezer and half of the bottle froze the rest was still liquid. Never seen that with Sprit before.

Jim beam seems to always be 13 at asda and is far better

It's Clarkes bourbon, and it's very similar to JD too, I've tested it out on a few guests and they struggle to tell the difference

cheapest you can get bells and 1l bottle size is £15 and cheapest i seen jack or jim at for 1l is £20 so this aint bd i suppose.they do over charge for the jim beams and jacks though don't they really.

Is it not 75cl either? or 1.5l?

we all taste things differently so it doesn't matter if some say they don't like the taste of a certain brand and others do, the thing is its giving us info about different brands that are cheaper if we want to try them for ourselves to see and the main thing is if there's a price reduction on someone's favourite tipple it lets them know so they can stock up.

I always thought anything over 40 wouldnt freeze.

My wife is polish and we have a freezer for vodka. None of it has ever frozen. Made me suspicious that the western gold was poor quality.

Here's a thread on people having Absolut Vodka freezing but not other brands. https://contact.absolut.com/org/absolut-vodka/d/so-why-does-absolute-freeze-when-no-other-brands-d/

In your case I suspect that this is because the Jim Beam is matured in oak barrels, it has many minute particles in it that your vodka doesn't. The ice crystals will only form if there are particles present, in exactly the same way that rain forms on miniscule dust particles in the air. Your vodka(s) will not have been in contact with any dust and is probably bottled in a very pure environment and possibly direct from the still itself. I wouldn't say that this makes the Jim Beam poor quality though, not that I drink it anyway!

PS Are you sure the JB and the Vodka are the same percentage alcohol? One might be 37.5%, one might be 40% or more.

It was the western gold from lidl that froze. But you could be right ive never tried any other burboun in the freezer.
