(a) your wife is awesome, (b) I too am a whiskey snob, (c) there's really nothing wrong with Jack Daniels or for that matter with jack & coke, (d) there is something wrong with mixing vodka and cola and calling it a cocktail.

Well, the cocktail in question is called 'Epic Fail'.

there are many things wrong with Jack Daniels.

But the good thing about it, unlike its superior rival George Dickel, is that JD is not owned by Diageo. It's a pity that I have to boycott Dickel because of that, but I'm not giving my money to those assholes.

EDIT: and yeah, rayiner's wife is awesome :)

That's a lot of brands to boycott, including, sadly Guiness.

Unfortunately yes. But there is lots of good stuff outside the Diageo umbrella :)

But those wrong things are somewhat diluted by the Coke, quite literally. Not worth wasting good whiskey on a Whiskey and Coke.
