Tasting Notes

About:

A more unusual whiskey combination of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 and an apple liqueur. This was a pretty knew idea in the world of whiskey liqueurs but Jack has very much dominated the field with this wherever it is sold.
Appearance:
Dark Gold
Nose:
Much like it’s sister bottlings of honey and cinnamon, if you love the smells of slightly sour, tangy apples then this is right up your street. I must say that the smells is very nostalgic, it reminds me of green starburst and sour apple sweets as a kid. This time the fun addition of alcohol. You do still get some touches of the classic Jack style. Some toffee and caramel creeping through which pair really well with the apple aroma.
Palate:
This is probably the sweetest of the three Jack Daniel’s liqueurs to drink, the texture is a little thinner than the other two. However, it keeps to its guns and fills your mouth with this bright, green apple flavor. All of that baked up by a gentle warming of Tennessee whisky that again brings through some really nice caramel, toffee biscuit flavors. Because of the contrast of sweetness to whiskey, the oak of the whisky comes around a little quicker on this version.
Finish:
Gentle, sweet, and still very fill of childhood nostalgia of eating an entire pack of starburst without looking at the colour of the wrappers. The lingering finish is apple, caramel , and this little swell of dryness on the sides of your tongue from some classic Old NO. 7
Comments:
This sits in the middle of the Jack Daniel’s liqueur range for me. It isn’t as ubiquitous as the honey, but not as dividing as cinnamon can be, either. Apple is something that we have all tried and at some point loved, but the transportation back to childhood on this is quite remarkable. It can only leave a smile on your face.
