Reviewed September 27, 2022 (edited October 1, 2022)Nose opens with…yup there it is; banana Runts candy. Luckily there is a little more here as well as we also get caramel, vanilla, shoepeg corn, black cherry, cola, and a light touch of oak. Total lack of ethanol for a 100 proof is almost wizardry and you can literally almost snort it without catching a nasal burn. Palate opens with the banana from the nose, but then takes a nice turn with candy corn, cola nut, flan, and grape. This is definitely a sweeter whisky, although the notes are light enough to keep it from falling into the “dessert whiskey” category. Flavors come off a little delicate, which I’d say is a feature not a bug, but your mileage may vary. Tasty. Finish is a slow, subtle shift (a plus for me) and is quite good but oh so short. The black cherry from the nose surfaces and mixes with the cola from the palate giving a cherry coke note, along with cinnamon and more soft sweet oak. Mouthfeel is thin bodied, and while I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “watery”, I definitely wanted a more robust body. There are some adjectives to describe this: Crushable (it is very easy to keep sipping and next thing you know you 3/4 of the way through your pour). Unchallenging. Comfortable; the whiskey equivalent of an old tennis shoe. So, I’m not going to lie…I like this. I know it’s not great whiskey, but the mouth likes what the mouth likes. Kind of like Jack In The Box tacos or Pizza Rolls. Why do we like them? I don’t know, we just do. At $30, this holds its own or beats other major players in the price range (Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace) but falls short of the depth and complexity of say a Wild Turkey 101. That said, would I buy it again when in the mood for something different? I could see that happening.30.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed September 16, 2022 (edited December 29, 2022)Fine expression of the Jack Daniel’s flavor profile but seemed severely muted and almost too easy to drink. Great bottle to drink with people who aren’t whiskey people.40.0 USD per Pour -
