Weak Jack
Jack Daniel's has sparked outrage among serious drinkers by unceremoniously lowering the proof of its famous Tennessee Whiskey from 86 to 80.

The change — which means the hooch has 3 percent less alcohol — has riled those still smarting from the "betrayal" of 15 years ago when the company lowered the strength of its 90-proof, 138-year-old original recipe, to 86 proof.
--I think departing from the tradition of the recipie is sad. Drink Zima if you want a baby beverage!

I agree with you Lawren. But have to admit I did know the proof. Just checked my bottle that I purchased this summer and I have the lowered 80 proof. Now I feel jilted!

Now why in the hell did they do that? I'm of the 'don't fix what's not broken' mind, and I hate that they made this change. (My usual drink is a Jack & sour).
