Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Heritage Barrel (2018 Release)

To start, admittedly, I have NEVER been a fan of JD until now...at least with this one. On the nose, it smells like something else completely; something better with more depth, leather, and charred oak. These scents transfer right on through to the taste. After some initial heat on the lips, a smoothness and full body settled in for some enjoyment. This is definitely not a thin, overly filtered and marketed whisky. Additionally, there is a touch of spice and maybe clove, perhaps. Overall, this was a surprising pour for me and one worth recommending...as a kid, I didn't like beets, but sometimes it's worth giving things a second chance. Cheers!

Underrated. If you don't like Jack period you will not like this. If you have come to appreciate the JD single barrels & barrel proofs that have been launched over the last decade then you will Love this. They have come a longggg way from black label. Sweet but not too sweet with some complexity on the palate. Only thing I can think of that is missing would be a longer finish however at this proof & price its a Must Buy.

Huge surprise! Full bodied and sweet with lots of charred oaky bitterness from start to finish. Very complex and the best Tennesse whiskey I’ve had the pleasure of trying. Would be amazing if this made it into their regular lineup.

Fantastic, best I have had from JD

Simply fabulous dram. Don’t dismiss this because it says Jack Daniel’s on the label. One of the best bottles of 2018
