Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Whiskey

Tennessee Whiskey — Tennessee, USA

Reviewed November 20, 2023 (edited November 22, 2023)
4.25
4.25 out of 5 stars
I got a pint for $32.99 at the Uptown Total Wine store here in Albuquerque. I wish it were cheaper, but I'm not sorry I spent the money. Of course single barrels vary, but this bottle is 128.2 proof. There's no age statement. Jack Daniel's uses a mash bill of 80% corn, 8% rye, and 12% barley, so it's a low rye whisky. In the glass it's deep copper. NOSE: Right off I got a rich smoky caramel. Then came musty corn, oaky smoke, cinnamon, and finally buttercream icing or cheesecake - I couldn't decide which - at the sides of my mouth. There's a lot here I can't sort out. MOUTHFEEL: Creamy and oily - this may be the best mouthfeel I've ever encountered. TASTE: Cinnamon, brown sugar, black pepper, a tinge of oak that increases but never becomes very strong, butter and honey, and finally waffles with cinnamon. FINISH: This is medium, consisting of oak and black pepper. If anything in this whisky were going to disappoint me, it would be the finish, but in fact it's not a disappointment, though it isn't as long and complex as I expected. SUMMARY: This is a superb whisky. It's plenty hot, but it's delicious, and complex enough that I could spend considerable time sorting it out. I can't afford to buy it often, but I will buy it again. RATING: On my hick scale it comes out as a 7, which is next to the highest level - I call it Right Fine. That is equivalent to 4.375 stars, or 87.5/100 or 8.75/10.
