My next choice at the diner with whisky arrangement was this 40% Jack Daniels gentleman Jack. I only had old Jack no7 so far, so I'm curious about this one. Nosing is so straightforward 'bourbony', that every blindfolded whisky lover immediately knows this ain't a scotch. Very smooth with sweet corn and strong vanilla notes. No alcohol burn at all. A hint of fire and charred wood complement the sweetness. Much sweeter and milder than old no7 at this point. The palate is watery sweet with a lot of honey, vanilla and toffee caramel. The woody spice and smoke keep this one interesting and balanced. The medium finish has a surprising sharpness at first but soon a citric (slight bitter) sweetness joins the party. The similarities with old no7 are there, but where old no7 is best used as a mixer, this one is very drinkable neat. A nice 78 points expression by Jack Daniels.
