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.
Why does this whisky have such a strong taste of glue and raw alcohol? Probably the worst whisky I have ever tasted. Nasty stuff - keep well away or drink it with Coke or anything else that disguises the taste.
Love it with coke, like it neat. Kinda like MCDonalds, you know what you are gonna get worldwide.
I have been drinking single malt Scotch for a while and it seemed time to try Jack Daniels. Currently drinking it neat. Perhaps a little water or ice would open it up but so far I am quite unimpressed. This is not a complex whiskey. To me there is a medicinal alcohol flavor and not a lot of depth, especially in the finish. Drinkable, but off my list for the future. What is scary is that this is considered to be one of the better American whiskeys.
Won't kill ya.
not a bad whiskey drinkable none the less.My review short and sweet just like this whisky
