Old Crow is one of the best whiskeys around for the money. Jack Daniels tastes like turpentine mixed with quinine and it’s supposed to be a premium whiskey
My uncle always kept a bottle of Old Crow in the pantry. It definitely had more flavor than Old No. 7 (which I really don’t care for at all), but I recall it being fairly harsh. The recent repackaging in those flexible plastic bottles hasn’t really led me to think that it may have improved, either. I concede that I may be mistaken.
One other thing - only people who haven’t tasted many whiskies would mistake Jack Daniel’s basic offering as anything “premium”. Shows you what the power of marketing can do.
