minus-squarefunkless_ecklinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down1·10 hours agoI can’t even smell the stuff it’s horrible. And I drink Laphroaig neat.
minus-squarePlantJam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·9 hours agoAre Jack and Laphroaig on similar levels? I know import vs domestic drives the prices apart some, but I just assumed Jack was more like a “cheap top shelf”.
minus-squareHayduke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·9 hours agoOh goodness me, no. Think Rose Art vs Crayola, respectively.
minus-squareMeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·9 hours agoThey seem like different animals to me. I wouldn’t compare the two. I can’t speak of higher end Jack, but Laphroaig base is far better than Jack base.
minus-squarePlantJam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·9 hours agoYeah that’s been my experience, too, which is why the comment comparing the two confused me.

minus-squareSerinus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoI’d buy some but it’s likely to be 150% more expensive by the time I get to it. I wonder what happens to the US economy if many citizens stop making large or discretionary purchases.
