Answer these three questions.
1. What's your budget
2. How much do you love your dad.
3. Would you be willing to prostitute yourself to make more money if the selection is out of your budget limit.

What state do you live in, and do the grocery stores/pharmacies sell liquor?

Price varies by location and restrictiveness of the local alcohol control board.

nsw
no, most alcohol is sold in standalone (or annexed) store rather than made available as a section within a grocery store

I don't know that Jack Daniela Small Batch, but I do recommend checking out E.H. Taylor Small Batch by Buffalo Trace. They're definitely my favorite bourbon maker and the bottle the Small Batch comes in his really cool, and of course it's damn fine bourbon.

Don't be suckered into paying a lot for Whiskey BTW, American Whiskey is still a very young product. You pay a lot of money for imported spirits because those distilleries are either around for generations or are just fucking amazing like the Whiskys Japan produces.

Its not a popular opinion of /ck/ to like Jack Daniels. Perhaps rightly so. For the price you pay, you can typically get something better. I have tried Old No 7 and Gentleman Jack. Id be fairly happy to drink either - there isnt anything wrong with them, but they arent that good value for money.

However, I have also tried Single Barrel on two occasions. Once in a cocktail and once on its own. For me it was the best JD ive tried. I really enjoyed it and Id probably be happy to pay the price without feeling ripped off. I'd be pretty happy to get it as a gift.

the only reason whiskey should be expensive is the sheer time it took to make it........single malts that are put away for decades are worth it..................bourbon is not

Liking anything is not an opinion. It's a fact if you like something.

>>7142755
How it tastes is irrelevant?

>>7142591
Fuck the haters, OP, they don't know what they're talking about.

That single barrel is absolutely delicious, and if your old man likes whiskey, he'll love it.

OP, if you want my recommendation for $150 to spend, I'd buy two iconic bourbons.
