You don't think most whiskey drinkers can tell the distinct taste of JD between other whiskies, or after it's mixed with coke?

Like most that went to college, I used to drink Jack & Coke because I couldn't stomach whiskey unless I was shooting it with a chaser. Now that my palate is more sophisticated, I drink my whiskey neat with the occasional splash of water if it's higher proof. But I don't look down on those that prefer to drink their whiskey on the rocks. Sure, *I* don't prefer it that way, but it doesn't mean it's wrong.
