This review was transferred over from the Barreled App:
I have a hard time rating Jack Daniels. I used to drink bourbon exclusively mixed with Coca Cola. I was never much of an on-the-rocks guy when I was younger. I really loved JD before switching to the cheaper Jim Beam when I drank B&C's. Now that my focus is on scotch whisky and the occasional neat bourbon, I have a hard time seeing what the fuss was ever really about. I'm trying to appreciate other whiskies, it's just taking a bit longer to get with the program.
That said, this is a fantastic (albeit expensive) version of JD. I'm glad a friend brought it to the whisk(e)y tasting tonight. I never would've paid what this bottle costs for a chance to sample it. It's ultra smooth and that makes it a fitting tribute to Frank, I suppose. If you really like Jack then I'd say seek it out, but if you have moved on to more adventurous whiskey you should maybe skip this and put those funds into something that might give you a more interesting experience. Cheers.
