Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey

COLOR: Goldenrod. NOSE: Not much! Hints of alcohol and spices. TASTE: A rush of warmth & heat to the roof of my mouth (I’d think it would have much more rye in the mash bill). The taste fades quickly & leaves a lingering warmth ~ underwhelming for sure; especially for a Bottled In Bond! FINISH: Warm….. again, underwhelming for what I was anxiously expecting!

Thankfully this was a bit easier to find than many of the new releases over the last couple of years. Of course it's bananas, a stronger Old no. 7 for the most part. It immediately reminded me of Old Forester 100. Where the of is bananas and fruit cake , the JD bonded is more banan laffy taffy. This is pretty good, and somewhat reasonably priced, although I would say there are definitely better values at 100 proof, namely OF 100.

Banana nut bread. Short simple finish. Not bad but leaves me wanting more.

Nose- loads of ethanol followed up with caramel apples, clove and barrel char. Not the most pleasant of noses Taste- pb banana sandwich, dark chocolate and toffee. Old no. 7 dialed up a notch Finish- nice medium warm finish. Spices and black tea

Oak, Vanilla & Alcohol

Nose: brown sugar, vanilla, Taste: nutty sweet, coca, banana Finish: full body. Second best Jack I’ve ever tasted. Falls short of the single barrel cask strength, but a great sipper non the less.

A "must try". Reasonable price. Close to bourbon. A richer, darker version of Jack black. Maple sugar, caramel sweetness with a bit of banana and apples. A nice spice on the end. This is a nice whiskey.

It's good but I enjoy the single barrel more
