NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey is a little less potent these days.
The famed "sippin' whiskey" has lowered the alcohol content of its flagship brand, Old Number 7 Black Label.
The whiskey, distilled in Lynchburg, Tenn., now registers 80 proof (40 percent alcohol) instead of 86.
This has staggered some drinkers.
The editor of Modern Drunkard magazine, Kelly Rich, is so disillusioned he's ready to tie one on.
"I'm sure Jack is spinning in his grave," he said.
The company said most customers prefer the less potent mix. But there are still higher-kick specialty versions on the market.
Some critics allege the company is trying to save money by watering down the whiskey.
An online petition asking the company to switch back has gathered about 700 signatures. |

Ha!
I was sippin' on a bottle of Old #7 Jack the other day, I noticed it didn't have the bite & went down kinda easy. I thought I was just too tough for it.

This reminds me of something I discovered on Citywalk this summer on shared with my friends last night - tequila and gatorade is the best combination since chocolate and peanut butter. |

Now you drink 7% more before you fall over.
