Jack Daniel's Eric Church Single Barrel Select

Banana. Slight vanilla. Touch of spice. Very well balanced and smooth.

Uncorking- banana, vanilla and spice all a bit low key. Taste- Caramel and mellow oak on the tongue. Finishes sweet and mellow. Less banana than Gentleman Jack with more complexity. Vanilla and caramel are present but background to the brown sugar sweetness and banana. It's balanced with extra hug and spice to realize it's more than a normal JD but in some ways more mellow than JD SB. I don't know if I would say better than Single Barrel but different enough to be worth a try if you like JD SB and see it at retail. If you don't this won't change your mind. I do know there is no world this is worth $100 let alone the $300-400 I saw people selling these on secondary already.

Pure. Banana. Bread. On both the nose and palate. Delicious

Pleasant mild tangerine smell, almost a very ripe watermelon. Strong Carmel note. Very smooth to drink. Velvety texture, initially cool and sweet. Slight heat (rather warmth)at the end with long finish and after taste. I enjoyed it neat and found it a really good pour.

I enjoyed the whisky. It had banana on the nose and initial taste. Followed by short bread and cola.

First I like JD SB, but this one has a different taste. I think it's the first whiskey that I've tasted with a lingering banana taste. Has a good mouth feel, but nothing to brag about on the front of the tongue for taste. It's smooth with or without ice. It sort of reminds me of those young micro craft distillery whiskeys I've tried. I'd buy another JD product over this EC release. Luckily I found a 55 dollar bottle verus buying the 100 dollar bottle I saw earlier.
