Neat. Neck pour. So happy I got my hands on one of these today. My favorite store comes through yet again.
Damn, this nose is special. Oh my. Maple and powdered sugar. Candy cane. Lemon cake. Cinnamon and clove. Blood orange. Royal vanilla icing. I could just sit here and spew random notes over and over. This is a crazy good nose.
So thick and viscous. Dark on the tongue, brown sugar and cinnamon and slight citrus. Oh come on. This is so good. Yeah the lemon cake and vanilla icing translate mid palate but oh it’s so much more. The maple syrup and powered sugar translate on the finish too. The blood orange lingers. Cinnamon and clove on the legs.
Did Jack Daniels just release the best rye ever???? This is an insane pour. Seriously. My expectations were high and apparently they were too low.

@ContemplativeFox After this praise, I can’t imagine they won’t capitalize and make this standard. This bottle redefines Jack Daniels. I’d buy this over a Willet 4 Year every time if the consistency is there.
Definitely one of the best ryes or bourbons I've had in the last few years, it is seriously incredible stuff.
I heard JD SiB rye was something special, but I found the SiB bourbon to be kind of average, while the SiB BP is extraordinary. "If only they had a SiB BP rye", I lamented. I can't find a bottle of this - why is it not a core offering??
