Crown Royal > Jack Daniels

I have always liked jack, but What would you recommend that is around the same price point +/- $5-$10?

Try George Dickel white label. A bit cheaper than JD, actually.

This...is actually true. But if I want a Canadian, I go more for Pendleton.

When if I'm drinking it neat, I like Jack or Crown, if I'm mixing it with coke or dp I'll go Crown or Jim, if I'm cooking with it or using it in a cocktail, I'll head straight to the plastic bottle of KD!

Those aren't comparable. At least recommend the man a bourbon, which is remotely comparable.

Correct, not comparable...better

You can always fall back to gin and vermouth. Biggest bang for the buck, fwiw.

+1! and when the palate classes up a bit, Jameson 20+ year. Never liked scotch, always hated the harshness, until I realized it was the cheap scotch that have good scotch a bad name lol

For wherever reason the single barrel is in an entirely different league.

It isn't blended and proofs higher. The use less water to bring it down from the 160 proof that sits in the aging house. The aging houses are 8 stories high no climate control. There are 80 of them scattered a across the county. They typically get single barrel from the barrels up by the rafters from the higher elevation houses that experience the most extreme temperature changes throughout the seasons. The action of the wood soaking so deeply into the barrel and then being forced back out is key to the process. there are 13 million gallons of JD aging in the hills.

just find a buddy with some moonshine and be done with it.

FWIW, Jameson isn't Scotch, its an Irish Whiskey.
