It really is amazing how Jack manages to keep a single barrel barrel poof bottling as a part of its core range, can’t think of another distillery or brand to do so. This is from barrel number 18-8757 and is bottled at 67.20% Nose: As you would expect the alcohol punches you in the nose at first. Once you get past that I found some brown sugar, but that signature banana note is most dominant. Palate: Tip of the tongue produces that signature Jack Daniel’s banana pudding. A hint of vanilla is there and barrel bitterness shows up on the back of the tongue. Didn’t pick up an alcohol note here, which I found amazing considering the proof. Finish: Maybe the driest finish I’ve ever experienced. Bitter oak is the dominant feature here but that banana note pops back up here and there. It has all those Jack signatures but with more intensity and higher quality (missing that glue nose and rubbing alcohol palate associated with No. 7). It is much more expensive, but is certainly worth the premium for me. The best Jack product I’ve ever tasted. Cheers!
