Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack is a smooth and sophisticated whiskey, perfect for enjoying neat or on the rocks. It has a distinctively rich flavour with notes of vanilla and spice.
Gentleman Jack is a premium version of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey. The main difference is that it enjoys a 'double mellowing' as it's filtered through charcoal before being filled into the barrel (the Lincoln County Process) and once again before it's bottled.
Gentleman Jack is undoubtedly good enough to enjoy on its own. In his book Whisky: The Manual, Dave Broom also suggests that Gentleman Jack actually works better than the regular Jack Daniel's Old No.7 in a Jack and Coke.
In addition to its smooth flavour profile, Gentleman Jack is also known for its distinctive and elegant packaging. The brand's signature bottle is designed to look like a flask and is decorated with elegant, hand-written labelling that pays homage to the brand's heritage and tradition.
Spicy nose with caramel, charred oak and a little aniseed.
Liquorice-led palate with oak and cinnamon, a touch of banana too.
Roasty and toasty finish, plenty of spice and citrus too.
Smells like glue or paint thinner and taste like bubblegum-infused vodka. Sorry Jack...
When I drink whiskey--and maybe I mean Rye or a spicy Bourbon--the last thing that I look for is a healthy dose of banana that not only hits my nose, but buries my taste buds. Granted, the banana flavor/nose ultimately ebbs into a bit of spice/pepper finish, but the banana kind of morphs into a gummy resin kind of flavor, which is not to my liking.
I drink scotch and whiskey on the rocks...this one is very childish. It's super sweet and tastes like bubblegum with some fruit mixed in. I'd say it's good for beginners/children/man-children but it's way overpriced. Makers Mark, Jameson, JW Black, and even Bulleit is...more manly. I'd compare this to one of those syruppy Samuel Adams beers, like the cherry wheat. Anyone saying it's anything more than what I said is a noob; I'm especially talking about the "Best of the BestSour Mash Whiskey" guy. He must work for them.
An outstanding taste which is mild enough to be served neat but also is strong enough to be a good mixer for ladies. The smell is satisfying to the nose and pleasant to the palate. A Smooth drinking and satisfying mixture of only the best grains and Tennessee limestone water and aged in Charcoal barrels of white oak which dates back over 100 years and twice filtered through a charcoal bed. An outstanding whisky which can be enjoyed by everyone.
I've just recently started drinking whiskey in general, this is the 4th brand I've tried between this, woodford reserve, Bulleit Bourbon, and Knob Creek, this is definitely the worst one. Still pretty drinkable on the rocks and whatnot, Pretty strong charcoal taste for me, and pretty corny in flavor.
