When I bought a couple of bottles at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop before taking a tour at the Jack Daniel Distillery, I had no idea this would be one of the best whiskies I’d ever drink. It’s simply phenomenal. Rich and sweet in the nose, with rum- or whiskey-soaked raisins, vanilla, and oak. Sweet on the palette, with molasses, vanilla, and rye spice, and a bit of burn as it goes down. Finishes a little dryer, with plenty of rye spice lingering on the lips and tongue for a good while.
