Tasting Notes

About:

Mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. 100 Proof (50% ABV). SRP $29.99/700mL.
Appearance:
The whiskey has a dark, burnt ochre appearance.
Nose:
It has a fresh, vegetal aroma, with hints of mint and oak.
Palate:
Grain and peat hit the palate in a clean, earthy first taste. There are elements of raisin and other dried fruit at the front with cinnamon and caramel flavors developing midway through. There is a nice, mellow burn, not at all harsh, with a smooth finish.
Finish:
Comments:
There is never a bad time to fall back on old favorites, and Jack Daniel’s has consistently been there through the good and bad times. The brand was one of the first whiskeys that I tried when I was just starting out on my whiskey journey, and I’m happy to see they’ve maintained their quality as well as developing new and interesting new expressions. This was a thoroughly enjoyable whiskey that I will happily suggest to drinkers of all tastes.
