Jack Daniel's Single Barrel


Nose: old wood and leather with a bit of smoke.

Palate: sweet spice, leather, and a bit of ash and oak with varnish

Finish: short, slightly acidic, and a mouthful of just whisky.


I actually kinda like this bottle.  Not a fan of regular JD, even the gentleman Jack leave me with a mouth full of ash and smoke. This doesn't do that. It is there, but just as an accent flavor.  It is pretty sweet, but we knew that with Brown Forman, right?  There is a lot of similarity with the Woodford Reserve profile. Not a bad thing for this, but not a ringing endorsement for the price point either. This bottle came to me as a 'liberated' open bottle from a tasting by the Detroit Wine Organization.  Hey, they can't re-seal it and offer it anywhere else, right?
