Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye

Banana on nose and taste Little bit of vanilla but just on nose Spice and pepper also on taste

Another beautiful dram i had at Jack Daniel's Distillery, was this Single Barrel Rye. On the nose, red fruits and maple syrup. Dim strawberry jam. On the palate i find it very light and sweet. Strawberry. Aftertaste is all about red fruits, ginger and rye spice. Overall, a solid, very balanced dram, that i can describe as the standard of what to expect from a Rye whiskey. My score for it is a honest 88 over a 100.

Color/Presentation: 5/5 Nose: 21/25 Palate: 29/40 Finish: 13/20 Value: 8/10 Total: 76/100 A unique rye in an amazing package. Sweet with spice on the back, this is perfect for those who aren’t the biggest fan of overly spicy ryes (or any spice at all). This rye falls flat with the disconnect between the nose and whats brought to the palate. I found my nose was glued to the glass taking in all of the fruit, spice, and caramel that creates one of the most enticing aromas I have encountered. Upon taking a sip, those notes are found on the palate, however in an aggressively light manner. It almost feels watered down. I’m assuming a BP offering would fix this. However it does make for an incredible easy sipper, always enticing you to drink more and try to pick out the bold notes encountered on the nose. All in all, this is a good rye at an excellent price in an amazing package. I don’t think I will run out and grab another, but I can hardly say it wasn’t worth the price.
