This is one I buy often, but not always. A pint usually. Maybe a 750 if it comes with some barware I like. I not-so-secretly detest the profile of regular no.7 so I dont really ever miss not having Gentleman around. Gentleman is 'double mellowed' allowing you to get double fu--I mean enjoy the distinct sweetness of this particular whiskey twice as easily. It gets the Tennessee Maple charcoal process twice instead of once like standard Daniel's expressions. Nose MAPLE charcoal. Caramel, the extra sugary kind you dip or coat apples with. You can practically touch the 'banana' palate note with just your nose. Extremely sweet charred oak. SMALL hint of vanilla, faintest hint of raw turbinado sugar freshly toasted. It disappears quickly and is small, but I get a grassy/lemongrass thing all the way at the end. A big pile of candy but it's not as saccharine/artificial as I remember it sometimes being in the past. Palate Maple, banana milkshake, unsalted/unbuttered grits, honey. Somewhere right before it glides down your throat effortlessly theres the QUIETEST little peck of spice from stewed apples intermingled with peppery oak tannin. The double mellowing is showcased in the swallow but you would be wise to pay attention to how the liquid itself is still generously flavorful for being extra-filtered and straightforward/one-dimensional. Mouth DANGER, DANGER. It goes down without trying. It's so sweet and balanced the ridiculous oily oil-overload somehow works. I personally think the oil mouth is what makes regular no. 7 undrinkable so that says a lot. It is easily 10/10 outstanding in this specific aspect despite being relatively 'bleh' in other sections. IMO Jack seems to have been improving this one over the nearly 20 years I've been consuming it. The only real criticism here is how just truly devoid of anything besides easy drinkability it is--something that truthfully feels like another compliment. Drink it neat, rocks, lemonade, straight from a pint, etc. Its good.
