Jack Daniel's
Single Barrel
Tasting Notes
Tennessee Whiskey
Barrel Proof - Non filtered
133.2 Proof
Color: Old Oak
Nose: Oak, Spice, Vanilla, Toasted Almonds, and Cola
Taste: A strong toffee flavor on the front palate that marries very well with a dry leather and mint aspect on the hind palate.
Finish: The burn is a slow building burn that has a grenade type delay of red pepper chili flakes.
Body: Thick
Personality: Larry Bird
Impression: For barrel proof, this Jack Daniel's is very smooth. The finish is a show stopper. We love how this whiskey starts off with a sweet prelude followed by an interlude of leather and mint followed by the epilogue of spice and burn. For the price, this is our favorite Jack Daniel's. This is a must buy.
