yea, the JD is a couple bucks more and it's not as smooth. They are both pretty much the same % but i get a lil more drunk off the JD personally. The best though is Wild Turkey's American Honey. Its definitely the best tasting and the most smooth. It should be about the same price as the jack. Im just really cheap :p
Before all the honey liquors became popular i used to make this drink called Honey Badger. It uses this polish stuff called Spiritus which is 96-fuckin%, so it's basically the European everclear. Mix it with lemon juice and honey then let it sit in a freezer over night. It tastes pretty good and will put some hair on your balls. Best part is it will royally mess anybody up in a couple of drinks. For $15 It makes a pretty good amount of liquid to.
Problem is the spiritus is kind of hard to find.
shit seriously smells like rubbing alcohol before you mix it but its definitely worth a try.
