YOU! YOU BETTER NOT BE SOBER
Slick:
Wait, you are knocking on Jim Beam White while touting Johnny Walker Red? I'd rather have the scotch than the bourbon in that case, but seriously, Johnny Red is not that great of a whisky. Try black label of either the above and re-evaluate your existence.

There are some good Jim Beams, believe it or not. The over the counter JB White is pretty terrible but the JB Black is an unoffensive and versatile spirit. Better than a few other brands of Kentucky Straight out there, believe me. I'd drink it over Jack Daniels too. Never saw the appeal of JD. I guess I can tolerate it if there is no alternative but I'd sooner have any genuine Bourbon. Anyhow - Jim Beam Green (Charcoal) and Yellow (Rye) are more than acceptable whiskeys.
More importantly, Jim Beam also make Booker's (considered by most people to be the definitive over-the-counter Bourbon), Baker's (a mild and highly enjoyable sipping Bourbon) and Knob Creek (actually amazing for the modest pricing).
Jackie Blue:
I didn't say Johnny Walker Red is the best scotch in the world, I'm saying it's what I prefer to drink, and part of that is factoring in price. Johnny Black is seriously overpriced.
Gentleman Jack is good for the money, as far as American whiskey goes. Regular Jack Daniels is good but overpriced for what it is.
And yes, Knob Creek is a solid buy for the price.
Slick:
Don't take this personal or anything, but my view on Gentleman Jack's is that it's the whiskey for people who don't like whiskey but wan't to be classier than the riff-raff.
It's like a sweetened JD that comes on slightly smoother but finishes just as harshly, thus making it a palatable whiskey for people who don't like straight liquor to drink straight and pretend to be badass.
My opinions, of course, are, as always, seasoned with cynicism. And too many commas.
I like to drink less of the good stuff than more of the bad stuff.
