Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack

Better than I expected. Smooth - perhaps too smooth. But a great expression of Tennessee whiskey in the sense that the white charcoal is super prominent, giving this a taste very much foreign to a traditional bourbon or really any other American whiskey. I wish it was a bit more complex but for a mass-produced whiskey from a major distiller this is very solid.

"subtle", for lack of a better term. You're better off buying the original, or one of their single barrel offerings
