Absolutely amazing neat. Does not need anything added. If you sometimes add a bit of water to your dram try a smaller sip and roll in your mouth longer with this one before adding water. Nose: Rich nose, caramel, brown sugar, vanilla and banana all present in spades. One of the best Jack Daniel’s noses I have experienced. Pallet: Full flavour, nose elements all present and extremely satisfying. Long rich finish that is rewarding and relaxing. Overall one of the best Jack Daniels products available. Highly recommended. Almost too drinkable!
