Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Copper
Nose:
Strong vanilla and caramel are balanced by fruity apricot, cherry, and orange. There’s a solid underpinning of leather.
Palate:
More vanilla opens the palate, along with maple syrup and some baking spice. The palate isn’t cloying by any means, counterweighted by substantial oak and more leather. The finish is nice, although what lingers is a faintly medicinal aftertaste. Mouthfeel-wise, it’s note-perfect, tannic but not drying. Final Thoughts: All in all, Jack Daniel’s 150th Anniversary is a pretty good whiskey, well-balanced with a good texture. Is it a $100 whiskey? I don’t think so. If you only ever drank Old No. 7, might this taste like the best whiskey on God’s green earth? Perhaps. Score: 88/100 [Jack Daniel’s 150th Anniversary]
