Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey

The nose on this is absolutely beautiful. I'm getting caramel, vanilla, candied apples, and cinnamon right off the bat. There is a slight ethanol scent (likely due to the proof: 132.7) but in no ways takes away from the pleasant scents that come ahead of it. The nose has the classic JD banana bread note along with some heat and pepper spice. You get a nice oily, full mouth feel and then you get the oak spice for a medium to long finish. Love this one!

Nose: spicy, allspice, licorice, maple syrup Body: caramel, old wood Finish: quick sharpness then lingers pleasantly

I was startled and surprised when this first hit my tongue. It has a dark amber color and an enticing aroma like vanilla. The taste was shockingly a burst of flavors including citrus. It has so many flavors that it's difficult to describe except to say that it is delicious. I didn't get the big burn from the 132 proof that I expected. It is robust but smooth. The best liquor that I have ever tasted.
