Tasting Notes

About:

100 proof, 50% ABV. Jack Daniel’s No. 7, finished in Jamaican allspice wood for 180 days and is the sixth in the Taster’s Selection Series. Available in Tennessee at $40 per 375ml bottle.
Appearance:
With the wood finish, I would have thought that the whiskey would have had more color. However, this one presents with hues of a lighter amber or a pale orange. In the glass, found some spaced, but slower legs.
Nose:
The first whiff was loaded with notes of flamed orange peel and white pepper, with a medium heat. There wasn’t much else to the nose, save for perhaps a hint of breakfast tea elements in the background.
Palate:
This was a really balanced whiskey. I was expecting it to be heavier, but alas, more medium bodied, which I appreciated. Much akin to the nose, there’s the pepper element intermixed with honey and orange spice tea.
Finish:
Comments:
Over the years, I’ve had a variety of experiences with Jack Daniel’s. But then again, a lot of us have. Be it that first Jack and Coke at the ripe age of 21, liquor store samplings, or service industry tasting seminars. As with many brands, some selections are better than others, and that’s the name of the game.rnrnI was pleased with this one. The balance of fruit, spice, and a little extra flavor at 100 proof was spot on. For the price point, I’d say the quality is worth it. If you are a collector of whiskies, I would recommend buying two of these, cause sometimes a 375ml bottle can go pretty quickly and that way you can stow away the other on the shelf.
