Like they mention in the article, I also recommend the Uncle Nearest brand.
Uncle Nearest (his name was Nearest Green) was a slave who worked with Jack Daniels to create his famous whiskey. He was (I believe) the first black Master Distiller.
His descendants have created their own distillery. His great-great-granddaughter is now their Master Blender and man are those blends good. I went on the tour last year - highly recommend if you’re ever in Tennessee.
1, thats awesome. 2, they note gluten free specifically - which if they test for it (I really hope they do when they make the claim, because distillation does not guarantee gluten-free) means I've got a new whiskey to enjoy!
... and nothing of value was lost.
Good. Canada pulled it off the shelves. Jack Daniels also funded the anti-suffrage movement in the 1900s they have a long history of being on the bigot side of history.
They had two options:
These are the one who make the honey booze, right? I'm just coming down with a man-cold - I rode the train without a mask, serves me bloody right - and my supply of elixir is really low. Now what am I gonna do?

Ooh, this just got real. I'll report back.
Thank you for being dicks, JD !!
Bärenjäger! Hard to find sometimes, but fuck me is it absolutely delicious! And it's not affiliated with bigots.
Note that Brown Forman also owns the following bourbon/American whiskey brands:
They also own the following European distillers:
Jack Daniels is obviously their highest volume brand, but some of these other brands are pretty big, too.
Noooo I think that’s illegal! Somehow!!
I'm just imagining all those "illegal" boycotters receiving bills
the beginning of Trump's second term, before The Camps, and The Disappearances, when there were still LGBTQ bars.
This reminds me of when practically every bar in NYC pulled Bulleit off the shelves after it was revealed that the owner of the distillery was some homophobic asshole.
Even now, there are a lot of bars in NYC that refused to carry it.
That’s why I developed an appreciation for Jim Beam. Less expensive, and I like it better.
And fuck Jack Daniels. They stole the recipe from Jim Beam and ran over the river into Tennessee and started their own distillery. That shit isn’t even bourbon.
Bulleit used to be my at-home go-to until that news broke out. Since then, I've started preferring smaller and local distilleries' whiskey. It costs a little more by it tastes way better and my money isn't going to some giant corporation.
Basil Hayden is a solid bourbon, and it's a Jim Beam product.
That shit isn’t even bourbon.
It is. It meets all the legal requirements to be called bourbon (at least 51% corn in the mashbill, distilled in the United States, distilled at lower than 160 proof, aged in charred new oak barrels, barreled at lower than 125 proof, bottled at between 80 proof and 150 proof, no added coloring or flavors).
They just choose not to label themselves with that name.
None of the gay men I know would drink that swill anyway. But, I respect the right to peacefully protest.
Cuts down on their overhead
All bars who support "having sex for fun" should do this.
I don't support sex being limited to marriage and procreation and otherwise shamed.. and even outlawed.
Where my Canadian Club enthusiasts?
CC and coke is so damn good. Especially the 12 year aged one. And now I want a rye and coke
They even sponsor the vice president. Or why else would he be called JD Vance?
I thought it stood for Jorken Dapeanus
Remember, there's lots of bourbon from places that aren't awful:
I doubt most of them are in cities, and I have some bad news for you about rural Washington State and Oregon.
Isn't there more left leaning voters than right. The right only wins through Gerry mandering. So maybe this is reality catching up with the shitty fake reality we've been living.
Politics skewed people's view of who exists out there. The majority of people are common sense, we all just live within a block of each other. So politically the consensus looks like it's trump supporters. Reality is people are more common sense. But the skewed political view made the everytime executive private school class get too comfortable that they started showing their lizard skin and now we see them for what they are and have to pay
Are there any (liqor) companies who have the ovaries to keep DEI policies? Please dont tell me its gin :'(
My understanding, though, as a Canadian, is that refusing to sell Jack Daniel's is over-stepping, and that they have the unalienable right to be on whatever privately owned shelves and sold in whatever privately owned facilities they wish, regardless of threats made to autonomy or safety.
Dear god, not the smoke flavored sewage
Great news
Keep boycotting poor behaviour 😉
Good. It's a crap bourbon anyways. It's like turpentine mixed with ear wax.
