Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 2

2015

This 43% ABV expression of Jack Daniel’s Old Number 7 is beautiful. Hard to find, but if you can get your hands on it very much worth the investment. On the nose: Strong and powerful notes of sweetness. Banana, caramel, brown sugar. Extremely inviting. On the palate: Nose elements all present in spades. Beautiful flavour escalates slowly as you move a small amount around the back of your tongue for several seconds before swallowing. Liquid gold. I recommend a first small sip, not held in the mouth for very long. Then have a good sip of water. Palate should be primed for a great experience now as you slowly enjoy this dram. Each taste gets better and better as you go.

Shame. Really wasn’t impressed. Much prefer Jack Daniels single barrel for about the same price.
