I only drink normal JD (No7) when theres nothing else left at the bar!!!
Single barrel (94proof) is great and can stand next to any whiskey, imho. Its my preferred drink. (I have a real barrel too!!)
There is also silver label which is my fav at 100 proof but can only be purchased in duty free shopping so i stock up when traveling and also have friends/family bring back when traveling. Then theres the barrelproofs, they’re around 130proof and special.
As for Sinatra, its got a unique hint of vanilla which is nice, though yes its pricey. Its best enjoyed neat like a cordial.
Also, gold label No.27 is great too, its more pricy than single barrel but less than Sinatra, also great neat as a cordial.
