Great price if you like the sugar free version better. New product!
Regular price on the carton is $90+!

Nope, it's listed under the whisky category on the Dan Murphy site.
Lol reread my post
And then reread yours
The OP is right - Jack Daniel's is a whiskey.
Reference to the Dan Murphy's site is not a valid argument. The site lumps all the whiskeys and whiskies under one 'whisky' category. Under that line of reasoning, Dan Murphy's doesn't sell any whiskey at all and all the American and Irish products are whiskies.
Jack Daniel's is a whiskey.
That's what the Americans call it…
We call it whisky
Reference to the Dan Murphy's site is not a valid argument.
Of course it is, that is the product they are selling…
Dan Murphy's doesn't sell any whiskey at all
and this is a Dan Murphy deal, so you agree with me…

@jv:
jv, you are just being absolutely ridiculous. I don't understand why you are starting pointless arguments when you are blatantly factually wrong.
As Gimli says below, look at the can itself - clearly says whiskey. Pretty sure that labeling overrides how the products are group on the Dan Murphy's website.
A whisky is different product to a whiskey based on the grain used and the region it is made in.
You can call every barley, corn, rye and wheat based product 'whisky' if you want, but you'd be wrong. Mate, you may as well call vodka and every other single alcoholic product 'whisky' under your logic. Not sure who your 'we' refers to; I think that's just you. Relying on the groupings of the Dan Murphy's site which has presumably been done for convenience and to avoid confusion is a completely baseless argument. Absolute arrogance to just rename a product that is made in another country because you want to call it something else.
jv, you are just being absolutely ridiculous.
You're entitled to your opinion.
The label says whiskey, but in Australia is called a 'whisky' that is why it is in the 'whisky' section at Dan's both online and instore…
@jv:
jv, I think you're a little confused. Yes, the Australian-made product is referred to as whisky. As is the product made in Scotland, England, Japan and Canada. Ireland and USA refer to their products as whiskey.
Jack Daniel's is not an Australian-made whisky. It is an American-made whiskey. You're comparing products of different grain bases and different national origins.
Other liqour sellers such as Nick's, 1st Choice and Gooddrop have separate subsections on their websites for the different varieties of whisky and whiskey.
Jack's Daniel's is whiskey and clearly is labelled as whiskey on the can. You say you want to call it whisky instead.
Do you call champagne 'champagne'? Or do you say: "Nah, mate, here down under we call champagne 'sparkling'. I don't care if the producers call it champagne, I don't care if it says champagne on the label and I don't care if it is known as champagne around the world, I'm going to tell you we don't call it that here and anyone who says otherwise is wrong."
This is exactly what you're saying in relation to whiskey.
@jv:
We call Australian whisky whisky. We call Scotch whisky whisky. We call champagne champagne. We call American whiskey whiskey.
You can keep saying the same thing over and over again but you are 100% wrong.
Do you disagree with my champagne analogy? Do you not call champagne champagne?
@jv:
You call "all whisky" 'whisky'.
Maybe read up on the difference.
Seeing as how you keep referring to the Dan Murphy's site, maybe you should also look a little closer at its own Guide to Spirit Styles, which clearly distinguishes between Scotch and Australian whisky and Irish and American whiskey.
You never did answer the question about whether you call champagne 'champagne'. Similarly, if you bought a bottle of Spanish sherry would you say that it isn't sherry? That despite it being known around the world as sherry and having 'sherry' written on the bottle, that Australians call the similar Australian product 'apera' and therefore the Spanish bottle must be called 'apera'? No, of course you wouldn't, because that is absolutely absurd. Just as absurd as you saying that we should refer to Jack Daniel's whiskey as 'whisky'.
@jv:
You clearly haven't looked at the Dan Murphy's website in full then, or clicked on the link of my previous post.
There are numerous other retailers that make the distinction clearly on their websites.
In any case, even it were true, the Dan Murphy's argument isn't authoritative - you are absolutely joking if you think that is your argument demonstrating that all of Australia calls Jack Daniel's whiskey 'whisky'. You have not made a single argument against my champagne/sherry analogies. You haven't made a single cogent argument whatsoever. You keep repeating the same phrase despite all of my evidence to the contrary. You are plain and simple wrong.
@jv:
Every single Jack Daniel's product sold by Dan Murphy's is labelled as 'whiskey'.
You base your argument on Australia calling all whisky/whiskey 'whisky' on Dan Murphy's selling Jack Daniel's as 'whisky'. Which it doesn't. Your argument clearly fails.
Every single Jack Daniel's product sold by Dan Murphy's is labelled as 'whiskey'
Yep, but the product, in Australia, is called whisky…
It's like receiving a 'check' from someone the USA, we still call it a 'cheque'….
@jv:
No, the product is called Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey, as it is called where it is made, as it is labelled and and it says on the can. That's what it is.
You can't apply the label of a similar product (Australian whisky) to what is a similar but ultimately different product produced in a different country (Tennessee whiskey or any bourbon whiskey). To do so would be the same as forcing French champagne to be called sparkling, Spanish sherry to be called apera. This is the logical extension of what you are saying when you say "the product (Jack Daniel's whiskey) is called whisky". Do you seriously not understand what you are saying?
As for check/cheque, that is a completely different argument which is also wrong. This is not a case of gray/gray or colour/color - because we are not talking about the same thing. Champagne is not sparkling; sherry is not apera; whisky is not whiskey; and vice versa in all three cases.
No, the product is called Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey
Yep, that's what it's called, and it's a whisky
@jv:
So, on that exact logic, you must agree that a Spanish sherry is not sherry, it's an apera? That Australian must blatantly ignore what the product is actually called and it must be renamed whatever we want to call it? Doesn't matter what is on the label?
@jv:
It doesn't matter; the logic of my analogy and my question still stands. But I assume you are going to keep avoiding answering it because your answer would demonstrate that your whisky argument doesn't hold out.
@jv:
Oh wow, one page showing one retailer that has a single page that groups whiskies and whiskey together out of convenience. That isn't an argument to support calling whiskeys 'whisky'. Especially when it is contradicted on the Dan Murphy's website. See Dan Murphy's Guide to Spirit Styles, Dan's education section, which specifically distinguishes between whisky and whiskey. Maybe you should read it if you are interested in speaking correctly. Do you even read what I am posting or do you just intend to keep repeating the same defeated argument?
These retailers also distinguish between whisky and whiskey:
You also still refuse to answer the champagne/sparkling or sherry/apera question. It's an extremely simple question - do you call champagne 'champagne'?
Why do you refuse to admit that you are wrong and that you have learned something?
one page showing one retailer
This is a Dan Murphy deal and this product is listed under whisky
@jv:
As I have said multiple times, that is 100% irrelevant. The Dan Murphy's website groups whisky and whiskey varietals under the one 'whisky' link on their front page for convenience. Big woop. As I've shown through all my links in my comments, the Dan Murphy's site also distinguishes between whisky and whisky, as do Nick's and gooddrop.
Look at the link the OP gave for this deal.
The product is described and sold as "Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey & Zero Sugar Cola Cans 375mL". The can in the picture says "Whiskey". The Liquor Style is "Tennessee Whiskey". The Varietal is "American Whiskey". Are you seriously going to continue to argue that the Dan Murphy's website describe this product as a 'whisky' when it clearly show everywhere that it is a whiskey?
All of this overwhelming evidence and your blanket refusal to answer my champagne analogy question. It is clear that you are wrong.
As I have said multiple times, that is 100% irrelevant.
And you have been wrong multiple times.
In Australia, we call them all whisky, regardless of what they call them in America and Ireland…
@jv:
Where have I been wrong?
I feel you've just returned to your same initial statement, which I have already proven wrong, and will keep repeating it.
In Australia, we call them all whisky, regardless of what they call them in America and Ireland…
Are you seriously telling me you would go to Spain and drink an oloroso sherry and tell the person serving you that you're not going to call it sherry because in Australia we have a similar product but we call it apera, so therefore that is not sherry and I refuse to call it sherry and I am going to call it what I want, "regardless" of what you think? Like, seriously, do you not appreciate how arrogant this is?
You have not made a single argument that supports your statement.
@jv:
Do you actually have an argument to support your statement or is this just your "opinion" again? Once again you have made a statement with no evidence to back it up. I have given a plethora of evidence to demonstrate why I am right and why you are wrong.
Does the link for this deal describe the product as whiskey 4 times on that page, and as 'whisky' 0 time?
Do you call champagne 'champagne'? Would you really drink sherry in Spain and tell the person serving you that what they are giving you is not called sherry? Or do you refuse to answer the questions?
You haven't made a single solid argument in support of your statement. All you have said is that you call it whisky and that I am wrong. I have provided numerous indisputable pieces of evidence that demonstrate the fact that this product is called a whiskey. I have tried to demonstrate through analogies the errors of your logic but you refuse to engage because you know it was demonstrate that you are factually wrong. No matter how many times you say it is true, you are still 100% wrong and everybody knows this.
Once again you have made a statement with no evidence to back it up.
They're all listed under the product 'whisky' on Dan's site.
@jv:
They're all listed under the product 'whisky' on Dan's site.
I don't deny that. What I do deny is that that supports your statement at all.
Do you actually deny anything I have said in 1 through 5? They are all factually true and I have supplied links in comments above.

It doesn't matter where the product this post is about is grouped. It is a whiskey.
@jv:
Well done. All you have established is that the Dan Murphy's website uses a whisky category. You haven't answered any of my questions or attempted to rebut any of the evidence I have presented or the logic I have argued. I accept your omissions as confirmation that I am right and you are wrong.
It's World Whisky Day today. I hope you enjoy a whisky or a whiskey today, whatever tickles your fancy.
:)

yep, because they follow what we call them in Australia.

Nah i haven't yet. I've tried the Jim Beam ones and they are OK but for that price. I'm not a mathematician but could work out cheaper than bottle price (drinks wise?)
I'm sure someone on here can confirm or deny this.
Normally have coke zero with my Jacks anyway. Definitely cheaper than buying a carton of coke and a bottle.
24x1.5 = 36 std drinks.
Jack Daniel's Old No.7 Tennessee Whiskey 1L ($56) = 32 std drinks.
Thank you OP!
Got this Last week, Really doesn't taste much difference from the normal one, and you don't have to worry about the stupid amount of sugar :P Its pretty good
It's been this price since the start of the month.
Grabbed a case last week, good value as far as premix is concerned. Not bad at all.
its pretty good value for premix and for convenience. Diet or artificially sweetened soft drinks can taste pretty terrible though. Id rather they just left the sugar in, but cut it by atleast 50%.
4-packs are $10 if you don't want a case of 24.
Yuck…
Have you tried this ?
I don't mind a diet coke, but not with whisky…
