Jack Daniel's Tennessee Tasters' Selection High Angel's Share Barrels

Love this; classic JD Single Barrel with more leather saddle and Tennessee tea. Happy Father’s Day with Uncle Jack!

Was lucky enough to pick this up at the distillery around New Year’s Eve 2018. If you’ve never been, the tour is nice and is definitely recommended if you are a fan of Jack. Nose: Like all Jack products there is a lot of vanilla and banana on the nose. Also there is a noticeable amount of barrel char and perhaps a bit of smoke. Palate: At the tip of the tounge is vanilla, then banana pudding. Next comes an explosion of those barrel influences found on the nose. Think char and a heavy dose of oak. Finish: Those char and oak notes just keep going and going and going. With the added proof (mine was at 107) it reminded me a lot of the single barrel-barrel proof with more influence from the wood. If you’re a fan of leather/char/wood notes in your whiskey you’re sure to love this. A quality product and certainly interesting, glad I picked up a bottle. Cheers!
