Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select

I’ve had standard Jack Daniels and Gentleman Jack. So let’s see how the Single Barrel stacks up. The nose has toasted marshmallow, oak, rye, baked bread and subtle dusty peanut can. The palate has honey, vanilla, oak, rye spice and peanuts. Finish is medium with an undeniable peanut flavor that lingers. There is also an ethanol note that happens right after you swallow following a slight bitterness. This was interesting because I didn’t get any artificial banana notes like I normally do with standard Jack Daniels. This particular barrel had more nuttiness going on, which is not what I get from JD. Obviously your single barrel might be different than mine, but it was a fun experiment and I like this one better than regular JD or GJ.

Picked up a mini to try and pleasantly surprised it’s pretty good. Smooth with that banana runts note to it and a spice that builds slowly and lingers for a good while. Might have to give the barrel proof version a try sometime. 88
