Green Label

Paris". It occured to me that I have no idea what "Green Label" is.
I know that I posted this question a few months ago, but nobody came up with
a good answer. The best guess was a British Liquor, or Jack Daniels.
Last time I needed the answer before it got to cold in Indiana.
Well now it IS COLD. So someone please tell me what green label is
so I can drink it and imagine that I "live in the islands/fishing the pilons"
instead of freezing my ass off in W. Lafayette.
Thanks for the help in adavnce.

This discussion has occurred before, but it has been a while.
I believe the final decision was that "Green Label" refers to the
"Green Label Jack Daniels". I don't remember the distinction between the Green
Label and regular JD.

Well, I had always been told, by a parrothead elder (my brother), that
Green Label was a kind of scotch. However, a few Coconut Telegraph
issues ago reference was made to Jimmy "wiping away the foam from his
Green Label" (or words to that effect) which would imply that
Green Label was a kind of beer.
This is not conclusive, by any means, but it is the strongest evidence
I have seen/heard.

Alchohol content, length of aging, and price. Black label packs more punch,
is aged longer (and is therefore smoother) and costs a bit more; but is well
worth the extra couple of bucks. Life's too short to drink cheap booze or
to dance with ugly women (or men, depending on your preferances)

I've watched this 'green label' discussion with great interest over the past
few months. Apparently, most of us think of green label as being the Jack
Daniels product. However, this never sat well with me - if I lived in the
islands, fished on the pilings, etc the last thing I would want to drink
daily in the hot sun would be bourbon (just my personal preference). It
would be a cold beer I think.
BTW the scotch whisky yoe are talking about is Usher's green STRIPE not
green label! Someone with Delphi access should settle this once and for
all - I understand Bubba's wife (and very occasionally the man himself)
checks in on the JB newsgroup there. Please post this question there, who
knows you may come in contact with THE SOURCE!

Although I gave it up 15 years ago , as I recall There is Black Jack Daniels
and Green Label Jack Daniels , differing in how long they were aged. Black
Jack being age longer. - See you 'round - jp

Nit-picking mode on:
Jack Daniels is not bourbon, it's whiskey (with the 'e'; Scotch whisky does
without the 'e'). All bourbon comes from the great state of Kentucky, from
which I proudly hail. JD, fine product though it is, is made in Lynchburg
Tennessee.
Nits off.

Here is my thought. When I was in St John this past summer the locals
drank 'greenies' . If you arder a greenie you order a heiniken. This
would put more emphasis on the beer theory.

Phil, I vote for a beer, too. I keep hoping someone who's been to
"St. Somewhere" will say, "'green label?' No problem, mon, it's a
[name here] beer." I may have to go charter there to find out! <g>

Bubba did check into Prodigy a couple times while a bunch of us
frequented a Forum there devoted to Him. And His daughter maintained an
account on Prodigy for awhile. His wife doesn't care too much for our cyber
world. As of yet he has not checked into Delphi, but he does have a couple
of employees that are regulars in our forum there. BTW, it is Custom Forum

The beer that is ubiquitous in the Caribbean and the world with a "GREEN LABEL" is Heineken. If you are way down island, my favourite with a green label is Hairun lager.
Also I am not sure why anyone cares where it is 5 ockloc as down island i was brought up on elevnzies.
