minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•3 days 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•3 days agoOh goodness me, no. Think Rose Art vs Crayola, respectively.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•3 days 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-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•3 days agoYeah that’s been my experience, too, which is why the comment comparing the two confused me.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•3 days agoSomeone commented that it was the smell they were comparing… not the taste. I like peaty smell so didn’t make sense.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•3 days agono the joke is I like something that smells debateably awful.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•3 days 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.

It’s one of my favorites!

I don’t know either, but it can’t be good.
