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.
I tried it once. After that I didn't got a chance to taste it. Now I'm in a search of it.
Good
I like it as a reminder of what mediocre is. Makes me appreciate the top shelf a little more.
I feel that smells like nail varnish and highly alcoholic .... sin, once was superb ...
If you honestly think standard JD is good whiskey, you owe it to yourself search this fine website for other bourbons in the same price range. America produces some incredible tasting premium whiskey, it also produces decent value for money whiskey. This is not it. Even if you just want to mix it with cola, or down shots, you can do much better for the same price (or less!).
