“If we can’t use what it takes to make Jack Daniels I suspect we won’t make Jack Daniels until we get all the ingredients we need,” Hamilton said.

I remember that bit of Plato, striking it's similarity to today. But since you asked for some humor...

The opposite of Plato is Bluto!

Cheer up! What happened to the delta I used to know?!

How long does Jack last before it goes bad? Does it get better with age?

Actually a very good item to stash for bartering after TSHTF IMHO.

Hey guys,

This collapse thing is beginning to hurt.

Poor John Daniels. It costs about €30 a bottle here in Ireland. I prefer Jameson but JD definitely has a place on my drinks cabinet.

Stop the presses! This is news of the worst kind, an environmental and personal catastrophe.

Guess it's back to moonshine, eh, folks?

Seriously, with the drinkable WATER problems the world is starting to face, and will be overwhelmed by in short order, this story should be setting off alarm bells in people's heads. Instead, there'll be tons of "guess it's back to moonshine" jokes--until the joke tellers mouths go dry and no water can be found to fix that....

I live not too far from the JD distillery, and can tell you it is ubelievably dry here. We have been looking for land where we can start a farm, but honestly everything is so parched that it doesn't seem feasible. All the local farmers are scratching their heads and tilling under their stunted, failed crops.

The irony is that our property near Forks, Washington gets LOTS of rain -- but it's too gloomy in the PNW for my wife.

I am getting very, very concerned. It feels a lot like we're playing musical chairs, and soon the music is going to stop.

jdumars,

It's like playing musical chairs but there's 20 kids and only one chair and the music has gone on so long that the kids have forgotten what game it is they're supposed to be playing.

Good, Jack sucks, who wants to drink bat shit anyway?

Get some Basil Hayden, it'll do you right.

Irish scotch is an oxymoron.

The best most affordable Irish whiskey is IMO (no contest).

Jameson 12 year old.
