Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey

One of the best barrel proof whiskies for me, and easily Jack Daniel's at its finest. On both the nose and the palate I get toasted oak, pepper, cinnamon and an amped up vanilla taste. I especially love this one with two ice cubes, as it makes the whiskey a bit easier to drink. Almost as fantastic as the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, though I think is the ECBP is slightly more complex and flavorful.

The nose is amazing w burnt sugar and molasses but with fruity, spicy and woody notes. The palate start hot w spice, cinnamon then tart fruit (green apple) and end smooth an sweet w caramel, molasses and floral.

Barrel No. 21-00249; Rick R-15 Bottling Date 01-12-2021 66.2% abv; 132.4 proof Open 1 month Nose - Ripe bananas, hot cinnamon bun, toffee, molasses, maple syrup, nutmeg, and strong ethanol. Palate - Gooey banana bread pudding, vanilla frosting, gingerbread, cinnamon bun, Belgian waffles drizzled with maple syrup, and noticeable ethanol kick. Finish is long with spicy oak and ethanol, drier cinnamon, toffee, and leftover banana bread. My brother also brought a bottle of this for Thanksgiving, so I had to test whether Jack Daniel's is still good? Of course it is. I haven't had a single barrel that wasn't excellent. JDSBBP remains one of the best "bourbons" on the shelf, and a great alternative to Old Forester or ECBP.
