Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey

Absolutely outstanding! Would buy a bottle again. Great price point. One of the few Jack expressions I truly loved.

Neck pour- Nose: maple, charcoal, banana hard candy, a hint of acetone Palate: banana candy, a dash of astringent oak, sugar in the raw, vanilla pudding, some distant strawberry cream candy, a touch of acetone, citrus rind Finish: short and clean, a little vanilla, mild cooling menthol…no barrel spice detected This is sweet, very smooth for the proof, not bad for the price and better than standard Jack. However, after reading all the rave reviews I expected more. Having said that, this is a newly opened bottle and some just need a little air and time to show their true potential (Evan Williams bonded a great example. That got immensely better after sitting for a few months after the first pour). I’ll come back to this and reevaluate.

Nose: tons of banana, banana nut bread Palate: just like I’m drinking a warm slice of banana nut bread Finish: more bready on the finish, tinkling on the roof of my mouth Overall: really impressed with this bottle at this price point. Would definitely buy this again. Very distinctive taste.
