Jack Daniel's Tennessee Straight Rye

Appearance: The color on this Tennessee styled rye was a darker tawny. The legs of the inside of the glass were medium sized and pretty oily. Nose: On the nose I picked up a delectable assortment of caramel, oak, honey, wildflowers, and rye grain notes, (The smell reminded me a lot of how Four Roses smells.), with additional notes of black licorice, and dill. After I added a splash of water the nose was ruined and basically nothing but floral. Taste: The palate definitely possessed a rye spiciness, some light dill, ginger, and a touch of cigar smoke and ash notes. But after I added a splash of water the palate also got really dull. Finish: The finish was medium length; it was still spicy but not hot going down. Thoughts: Jack made a good product with this one; and I would recommend this whiskey and would buy it for myself again! I enjoyed this dram! Thanks, Jack Daniel's! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
