Jack Daniel's Triple Mash

Copper, caramel, leather, grains - cereal, excellent controlled oak, spicy rye, swt nose Pal; m body, spicy rye, oak, delicate & well balanced, cinnamon tones, lasting finish

I will definitely by this one again. A better, spicer, more full flavor Bonded. Nose- Grandmas banana bread Mouth- full, bold, good mouthfeel. Spice, caramel. Finish- long & plesant. Dance on the tounge.

Meh...

This one tasted different each time I poured it. Sometimes it had a harsh, astringent taste that overpowered the blend (just missed being a 4/favorite because of this) but overall an intriguing mix of rye-like spice and bourbon-sugar sweet. Not stellar but unique and worth trying at the price - made a good old fashioned and would be fun in a blind tasting.

Nose features cherry cola, banana candy (after all, it is Jack Daniel’s), vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, pencil shavings, a musty barnyard note, and clove. Enough ethanol to be slightly distracting, but it’s far from a deal breaker. Palate opens with dark honey, cherry, and vanilla and then a spice bloom of white pepper, and clove. Some slightly sour tamarind in the mid-palate. Flavors lack a little complexity and depth but what’s here is decent. Finish is exceptionally long given the proof and consists of cherry cola, cinnamon bear, an earthy flavor (mushroom?) and the welcome presence of some soft oak. There is a chocolate malt note after the spices fade, which is nice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. At $40, this is a decent dram. Less traditional bourbon flavor than Bonded, but yet it comes together nicely. I can’t in any way deny it’s a rebuy because I already rebought it once, lol. Just squeaks our a 4.0 rating.

Obligatory banana note on the nose. Then caramel and nuts. Peanut. Vanilla cream. Dusty wood, cedar, pecan shells. Seems a little hotter on the nose than I think it should be for 50%. On the palate, the sweetness of the typical JD profile is somewhat muted, which I appreciate. Banana nut bread. Some fruit, apple, apricot. I can get some of the rye especially on the finish. Cinnamon and nutmeg. Maybe some honey coming from the malt. I like this better than the new Bonded release. More interesting, less sweet. I also like this at the $28 I paid for the liter size bottle. Wouldn't likely rebuy at the normal going rate, which around here seems to be $45+. But I'll enjoy this bottle.
