Reviewed May 25, 2022 (edited February 21, 2023)JD BIB *NOSE: Musty, but not musty oak like I get from some whiskies, more like Musty Old Books or Leather found in a forgotten corner of a dank basement. I don't mind it at all. In fact, it brings back pleasant childhood memories of pulling the baseball glove out of the basement after a long winter, or hunting that favorite book to read for the 10th time. That note is present throughout, but does fade to the background with time. I also get Dry Cornbread, Fresh Latex Paint, Banana Peel, Oak Char, Burnt Sugar, and some Light Vanilla. Solid, and a massive upgrade from Old No. 7. *NEAT: That Odd (but intensely likable) Musty Note is front and center on the Palate as well. Also Cornbread made using a recipe that's More Salty and Less Sweet, Leather, Old Oak, and just a Hint of Doughy Sweetness. Like Raw Sugar Cookie Dough. There is not a ton going on here, but the flavors that are here are Deep and Rich and I'm digging it. Just as I was wondering where the Banana Note that I get from JD was hiding, there it is. After a Medium, Drying, Slightly Warming Finish, it pairs with that Mustiness and clings to the palate and layers sip after sip. That coating aftertaste hangs on long after the glencairn is empty. *SPLASH: Not a lot of change, but I do get some Floral and a little Orange Oil on nose and palate. *VERDICT: I expected to, or hoped to, like this one. I didn't expect to love it. Simple, Earthy Flavors with a building coating characteristic that I find in some of my favorite pours. That Musty Book/Leather note is new for me, but man do I like it. I had planned to use at least part of this section to gripe about the reduced 700ML size, but it so thoroughly won me over, I'll give them a pass. Cascade Hollow, watch out. You've got some competition for space in my cabinet.37.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed May 21, 2022 (edited May 26, 2022)Nose: caramel, a little wet oak funkiness, faint rye. Burnt sugar (delicious) and barrel smoke. Very faint wiffs of Tennessee orange starburst. Body: moderate to full Palate: much bolder than the triple mash. Rye spice (like the triple mash), caramel and barrel smoke. Finish: medium to long, much more body and full than triple mash. Long smoke. Note: I like this more than the triple mash, it’s like the triple mash with more bold caramel flavor -

Reviewed May 21, 2022Sweet with a very creamy mouth feel, followed by oak and spice and all the sharp barrel tannins. Nothing complicated, but not bad either. Fairly long finish. -

Reviewed May 20, 2022I like it. Tastes like Jack 7 but stands up with the higher proof. Mixed with Coke was perfect. -

Reviewed May 19, 2022 (edited May 26, 2022)I was looking forward to this, I enjoy the JDBP selections and was hoping for an in between bottle that could be a daily drinker but this is a bit of a letdown. Tastes and smells young with ethanol and sawdust on the nose. I'd say these barrels just meet the 4 year requirement. The flavor profile is a bit flat, not a whole lot going on, some caramel sweetness, a little oak and ethanol. Not horrible but not a home run, add a little more zing to my Lynchburg lemonades.
