Jack Daniels Sinatra......anyone tried it?

[ABNAK]

Goes for $130-150 per bottle (a liter, 90 proof). Supposedly VERY smooth. Was looking for opinions before I'd even think of dropping the $$$ on something like that. The HK of bourbons?

Hell, for that price it ought to come with a pair of lips!

Whose?

...Sinatra's?

Personally, I've always been of the mind that any fifth costing over $35 was more "marketing exclusivity" than discernible quality. But I'm just a mechanic, not a whiskey connoisseur...

No, not Sinatra's lips.

Oh I'm far from a connoisseur. My boss told me about it and I read up on it. Asked my wife if she had gotten my Christmas present yet and she said "No, why?" I replied "I think I have an idea!"

Found a place not too far away that has it but it's behind the counter; you have to ask for it. Obviously not something you mix with 7-Up or Sprite or Coke. Apparently it's a snifter glass, maybe some ice, and sip it.

The reviews I’ve read recently have been glowing but I swear I read some a year or two ago saying that it was just average thus not making it worth the dive.

Can't speak for Sinatra brand but like everything else quality matters. Raw, materials, water, barrels, storage...etc.. I like scotch and whiskies but more into tequila. If you try a no name $10 bottle of corn liquor that passes for tequila and Don Julio 1942 $110, Real $420 or something similar you'll see a big difference between the 3.

Most of the large brands add coloring, flavoring, speed up processes..etc. Like buying a frozen steak from the supermarket or one from a steak house that's been aged for 6 months. Real home made food vs microwave dinner. All have their place

Well said.

Being expensive in and of itself does not make it good. However, if you want really good, it'll cost you. Really good is never cheap to make.

I've got a bottle. It's good. More gimmick and charm than anything. You can get much better whiskey in that price range.

If you're buying it for the Sinatra angle or just to have that specific bottle- go for it. Otherwise find someone who knows their whiskey and tell them what you like and ask for a recommendation in that price range.

See this is one where you don't necessarily have to go crazy. You can get a great bottle of American whiskey for under $50 at most liquor stores.

It's not bourbon, it's Tennessee Swill. With that said it's very smooth and mellow JD. The only Jack Daniels I will tolerate. But there's several Bourbons under $60 that taste better in my opinion
