A point of interest (albeit limited...) is that JD isn't a bourbon (doesn't meet the criteria) though it's widely misunderstood to be so. The Shining film didn't help with that.

It's interesting that Jack Daniels (a "Tennessee Whisky") meets all the definition of bourbon;

At least 51% corn mash bill
Aged at least 2 years
Matured in first use American Oak barrels
Bottled at at least 80 proof.

The only thing that sets JD apart is that it's charcoal filtered.

For me though, I would agree that there are far better whiskeys for the money. Buffalo Trace, Wild Turkey 101, Bulleit & Woodford Reserve (esp the double oak) to name a few.

I ordered one of these on Sunday and it arrived today!

On first impressions it seems incredible value.

I've needed to get one of our boys a small light head torch for cubs and camping for a while and so your post came at the perfect time. We're actually off camping today and I had just enough to charge it. So thanks again.

Glad to be of service, mine arrived today too :encourage:

Anyone still going on about waiting weeks because it’s from China needs to take note, the shipping is quicker than a lot of U.K. sellers.

I bought a 4000K and 5000K, I haven’t had a shine to see which I like best yet. One will end up as a gift.

Temu have blade sharpeners aka ferro rod strikers going for 81p

One of the images says the edge is "high hardness alloyed steel" so probably not carbide of the more expensive versions, but should be good enough.

Slightly unusual, but for my Bourbon drinking friends, Buffalo Trace is £17.84 right now on Amazon special. Lowest price since 2021.

Just ordered myself a bottle too after seeing your post British Red. I also grabbed myself a Kraken Black Cherry and Madagascan Vanilla Black Spiced Rum 70cl https://amzn.eu/d/hPlanBT to fill the hip flask for autumn/winter evenings around the fire, similar deal 31% off.

It appears this is 'half price' several times a month, I'd be suspicious that the full price is artificially inflated there to be honest.

but still its a good looking tool, HVAC channel on youtube reviews a lot of the clones, surge clones are quite a new development...i got my surge for £115 but some places they are £160

I have a surge and I've recently got one of these, that sale price is quite common. I've seen it have good feedback and while it's not a leatherman for that price it's well worth a punt

I don't know if it's quite 'bargain' worthy, but it's a pretty good price, £815 for a Hilleberg Nallo.

I bought a Hilleberg Akto yesterday from them with £100 saving and it arrived 11am this morning!

Nallo 2 Green

Very lightweight single vestibule all-season tent that offer excellent strength.
