Jack Daniel's Old No. 7

I've been working my way through a roster of inexpensive whiskeys that have banana bread notes. So, I picked up a 50 mL bottle of Jack and just opened it up. I get the expected aroma of banana bread on the nose. On the palate, the banana bread is there too along with some ethanol. The finish had a slight bit of a burn but nothing off-putting. In comparing this with Gentleman Jack, Old No. 7 beats its more expensive and twice-filtered sibling by a mile. Gentleman Jack was too smooth for me. Also, the banana bread notes were much more subtle in Gentleman Jack. Old No. 7 isn't quite good enough to be a permanent part of my whiskey stash, but it's good enough for me to buy once in a while. It's good enough for me to order at a restaurant or bar that doesn't have many whiskey options. There are certainly better options out there, but Old No. 7 will do just fine for me.

Is old 7 whats there not to like i still think its a great Whisky with a great price overally hated by whiskey enthusiasts but i still find better then alot of more expensive Whiskys

Nose comes across like cereal, but also a little spicy and ethanoly, after airing out also hints of vanilla and apple or pear freshness. Sip initially with a hint of charred wood, but immediately after swallowing intense apple and acidity, almost like stomach acid or barfing apple schnapps back up. Truly vile. The impression fades as quickly as it comes. With coke it's more rounded with hints of vanilla and wood but an ever-present astringent off-taste.

Chat its still quite nice but i prefer scotch to it maybe because its less sweet. Still a solid drink. Jack and cola is not as hype as youd think but its nice woth a scoop of ice cream
