"Jack Daniels?!! Gasp, I guess I'd better rig up a still out back ... ;)"
Jim Beam is an admirable substitute and costs much less to boot. Beam defintely has a different taste, IMO a more mellow taste. But, a still would make a nice project!
KNOB CREEK is MUCH BETTER than Jack Daniels. Just try it. Wellers aged whiskey is great too. and something new TITO'S handmade vodka made in Austin. YUM! Tastes like the Cachaca that I had in Brazil in my Caipirinha! It was so good. But you can't drink more than ONE! Not if you have to WALK.
