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.

My brother introduced me to this "bourbon" and it almost made me never want to try any other bourbon again. It tasted very sweet like it was blended with caramel but still smoother than most scotch whiskies. Then i read the label and saw it was a Tennessee whiskey! So i went and bought myself some Evan Williams extra aged bourbon and it was 100 times better and not so sugary sweet like jack. Don't get me wrong, its a decent mixer with coke or even pepsi but neat this whiskey is just not for me.
I'm 60 - never tried Jack Daniel's. I should have waited another 60 years. Just awful. It was only about $20.... I tried it twice... poured the rest down the sink. Life is too short.....
Love it
It tastes awfully chemical and sweet, just horrible. A smell and taste of nail polish remover, I'm sorry to say. No intention to insult anyone, but that's honestly how it develops on my palate. Passable to mix with cola.
Breaking news: Jack is not as good as a good single malt. You can name whiskeys (or Bourbons, whatever) that are better. You can also make jokes about stripping paint. Haha. Meanwhile, there's Jack. Lots of people like it. Personally, I think it tastes funny - there's something in there I can't quite place. Mixed with soda or Coke it's drinkable. $20 is good, but you can get Old Forester or sometimes Maker's for that, which I prefer. Hate is such a strong word.
