Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey has been made at its Lynchburg distillery since 1875. The branding and original label, sometimes referred to as No. 7 or Black Label; has made its way into pop culture, with merchandise sold the world over and a history of association with music. Frank Sinatra was even buried with a bottle. The Tennessee whiskey makers use a mash bill made up of 80% corn, 12% rye, and 8% malt to create Jack Daniels whiskey, which is then filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal to produce a mellow, slightly smoky character. A method known as the Lincoln County Process, it means this is not a bourbon, but instead meets the legal definition of a Tennessee whiskey. Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel ( c. January 1849 – October 9, 1911) was an American distiller and businessman, best known as the founder of the Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey distillery.
Light with plenty of sweetness. There are hints of dry spice and oily nuts, a touch of smoke.
Quite smooth and soft with notes of banana milkshake, a mixed nut note, a touch of caramel with crème anglaise.
Sweet with a little cereal sweetness and toasty oak.
This is good whiskey that is way to expensive in the UK considering how low the cost is in the US.
This is my whisky of choice when chilling at home. With coke in a JD and Coke this is absolutely delicious.
Smells nice but has a flavour profile best described as 'road tar'. Why anyone buys this stuff at the price they do instead of a decent straight bourbon like Beam, Trace, Maker's, Blanton's etc is beyond me.
Not anywhere close to my favorite whiskey but for the price it's good. Sweet nose and a simple sweet taste. I don't get the "glue nose" or the "disgusting taste" that some have seemed to experience. In the end just remember you get what you pay for. This is not nor is it meant to be a top self whiskey so don't expect it to taste like one.
So its not Highland Park 18yr but it really is quite drinkable if simple and uncomplicated. Yes its produced on a larger scale than pretty much any other Whisky, but its popular for a reason, namely because its drinkable and uncomplicated. The snobs will tell you otherwise but overall this is a pretty decent product.
