Jack Daniel's 10 Year (Batch 1)

Nose: ethanol and butterscotch, Vanilla and maybe a hint of some orange zest. Palate: easy to drink, light and little to no ethanol burn. “Smooth” I know y’all whiskey drinker hate that but that what it is. Super smooth. Finish: this is the crux of the dram in this case. It has no finish. It’s nothing, gone as soon as it came. That’s the difference in this expression getting higher marks. It’s just not there. Overall: a damn good pour but it’s more hype than anything else. If this finished like there barrel proof this would be a hitter. Ok I’ve come back to this bottle two days ago. It’s got some air in and man is it a hitter. I gave it a 3.5 originally. It’s easily a 4 out of 4 now.

Medium bodied but rich. A step above the single barrel. Premium while undeniably Jack. I’ll buy more if I can.

Good, but not $370 a bottle good
