Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey

01/29/23 Tasting

The banana bread in the original is replaced with similar sweet notes with a little bit hardier spices! After the caramel coats your tongue the charred wood comes through! Fantastically smooth! Whiskey Advocate made JD Bonded the 22 Whiskey of the year.

🍾 Uncorking. 👀: Light amber notes with sunset in the background; legs; 👃: Smells a bit of acetone at the outset, which gives way to kettle popcorn and cherry pie, grape laffy taffy; 😜: Immediate corn and ethanol, some Ghirardelli dark chocolate 72%, whoa this shit burns, strong alcohol at the ending, melted caramel; 🏁: Lingers quite a bit also, might be better off diluted a bit, finish is "corny."

Great stuff. Not sure it’s worth the price diff - I wish regular Jack was this.
