Been a lot of hype on this one and ran into a friend of a friend with a case so I was able to snag a bottle.
Nose - vanilla bomb, some oak, some banana.
Taste - more vanilla, this is heavy vanilla, very candied and sweet. I think of the oak here as a toasted barrel type finish. You get some of that jack banana and dr pepper as well, but the underlying flavor is all vanilla. The abv comes in about right but I guess a bit soft vs the double barrel barrel proof.
Anyway, really good dram from jack, showcasing their over the top sweet profile in a very nicely made and drinkable version.
3 stars, well above average whisky and an impressive job by jack.

@AntonioSchmid I have had the sinatra and I'm not sure they do. Sinatra is JD's for sure so there's that but and i had a LONG time ago but there's more oak and more cherry as I recall. This is so so so much more vanilla and candy to me. And this from a brand that imo is a candy maker more than whisky maker on their better offerings.
Do you know how this one compares to Sinatra? (My favorite JD so far.)
@PBMichiganWolverine had both last year's was a tad richer but both were very similar
@dhsilv2 I did the same thing—expected it to be around for a while so I passed. I did buy this year’s immediately. Hey @dubz480 , I’m guessing you probably tasted last years?
This was my first tast, i saw last years and I passed thinking it would be around a while....totally wrong and a huge regret.
Did you have last year’s? Wondering how it compares
