Jack Daniel's Distillery Series Selection #13 review

Tasting Notes

About:

A Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey twice barreled in new, charred American white oak barrels. Bottled at 107 proof and priced at $41.99.
Appearance:
There’s a lovely darker amber color, reflecting the twice-barreled consideration. Light legs and viscosity exist within.
Nose:
A deep rye cereal note on the nose is supported by a smokier banknote, likely from the double char exposure. Other notes to take in here include peppermint, cherries, a bit of caramel, some ripe bananas, and a nice hit of oak.
Palate:
This is bright and poppy on the palate, offering an initial slight smoke and a bit of bubble gum supported by bananas foster. Letting it linger brings forth further notes of cacao, nutmeg, black pepper, and oak.
Finish:
The finish is bitter and sweet, lasting a moderate amount of time.
Comments:
The Distillery Series from Jack Daniel’s always produces interesting one-off experiments, putting this behemoth distillery on par with some of the more unique offerings from its craft kin. This is one to consider getting a bottle of, especially if you like a bit of smoke in your rye whiskey.
