The Best Darn-Tootin Whiskey

Being of the legal drinking age, I have tried many types of alcohol. I have come to find that I do not like the bitter taste of beer and my stomach can’t handle the sugary fruity drinks, so hard liquor became my last option. I then realized I still had a dilemma because there are many different selections of hard liquor. After careful test tasting, whiskey has won me over; specifically Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. It has been around since 1866 and has added other delicious members to its family.

            Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel is the top shelf of the family. It tastes so smoothly incredibly that it does not need a mixer. Just pour it on ice or serve it Neat and the flavor will naturally take its effect. It’s about 90 proof, but in my opinion, it’s not over whelming like its original member. The original member is 80 proof, but has a severe after “bite” if you’re not used to drinking it. For me, I did notice the strong taste of alcohol and that harsh whiskey taste, but I think that specific taste is what attracted me to it.

            I like to think of myself as a “whiskey girl” and I’m proud to admit it. If you haven’t tried whiskey or Jack Daniel’s, I would suggest taking a test taste of it. Just make sure you drink one of the members of the top shelf because to be deprived of that caramel smooth taste would be a shame. I always like to joke that Jack is my man and he is the only man who knows my tastebuds.
