Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey

I was told that if you can’t land a stagg Jr this is a great Comp. Well I still haven’t found stagg jr but this is fantastic. I’m no expert but this is exactly what I’m looking for in a great whiskey.

Good stuff. Raised to a 4 🌟 after the second go around.

Nose: Big, ripe bananas are the first thing that come through on the nose. Banana bread, banana pudding, banana runts, anything that involves sweets and bananas can be found in the best way in this whiskey. A wonderful rich caramel and maple note can be found underneath the fruity notes. There’s a peppery oak and heat on the nose as well. Palate: Heat is the first thing that hits from the high ABV, but behind it we find the nose matches the palate. The palate actually outdoes the nose here with SUPER flavorful bananas bread covered in burnt caramel sauce, banana pudding, Nilla wafers, and a finish of sugar maple wood and black pepper. Very oily and palate coating! Over all: This is a FANTASTIC whiskey at a great price. The density of flavor is through the roof and you don’t have to search for anything as it jumps out of the glass and explodes on the palate. I will always keep a bottle of this stuff on hand. One of my favorite whiskeys, and the best part is you can find it just about anywhere. Rating: 8.9/10

This is incredible - one of my all time favorites on my shelf. Don’t write off Jack Daniel’s because of Old No.7. Their barrel proof selections are phenomenal. Barrel number 20-20137 from rick R-20 bottled on 3-9-21 at 131.0 proof. “Info: Barrel #15-C-26(#12) Notes: Caramel, clover honey, faint cocoa, light banana, rich toffee. Dusty, musty, dank, tobacco. Rich on the palate – plum and honey initially on the palate followed by custard, cherry, brittle and caramels. Delightful and decadent.”
