Jack Daniel's Old No. 7

Ok for a cheap date...well maybe not. I knew that it wasn't going to be outstanding. It made for a below average mixer.

Why??

Despite being the most basic spirit on the market, it is a seriously enjoyable drink at this price point. The nose has overripe banana, crystalized maple sugar, corn. Thr banana is almost overwhelmingly dominant, blending with vanilla. Caramel cream. On the palate, the banana milkshake persists, with vanilla ice cream, major peppercorn, oak, macadamia nuts, very subtle dry almond. The finish is very oaky, toasted grain and nuts, nutty, and has a real cereal character. While light and smooth, it is a bit thin and leaves you wanting a bit more lingering flavour. The mouthfeel is a bit oily, surprisingly smooth with relatively little burn.
