Tried this at the distillery on a tour and cant get enough of it. No need to mix this with anything.

16th October 2018

We did the tasting tour at the distillery, I liked it so much I bought a bottle. But I just had a glass, neat, after mowing in the Georgia heat. My oh my, what a whiskey. All of my whiskey snobbery over the years has earned me a bunch of overpriced bourbons only fit for mixing because of their tastebud burning qualities, but this, this is a sipping whiskey worth celebrating!

When I was just starting out going to pubs I thought "JD & Coke" was a cool drink. Then I started learning about single malt and stayed away from it for decades. In recent years I have bought No.7 a few times, mainly to drink neat with an American friend and have been quite happy with its lively, charcoal-infused, messiness. Not a patch on Maker's Mark of course, but "honest" and considering it is only 3-4 years old, I can understand the decision to blast the stuff with burnt oak, to force-feed tannins down its throat. Certainly, few single malts would taste much better at that age.
The No.27 is however a completely different beast. I assume that "double matured" means 6-8 years old. I have had a couple of measures over the last two days and this whisky is not straightforward. It doesn't have the blue-collar/muscle-car appeal of No.7, nor does it have the complexity and multi-layered sweetness/lemon/smoke/peat/sherry of a single malt or Armagnac. It is the only whisky I have ever had which is dry. Actively, very, dry. I can taste the Rye. I can taste the Maple. But overall, the effect is astringent, somewhat thin and a bit, well....unusual. Whilst drinking it, I am reminded of the Black Russian Rye bread I used to buy. It almost makes me crave pastrami!
I reserve judgement at this point, but do feel that potential buyers should know
1. This is a distinctive product which you might either hate or love.
2. This is not a smoother and richer No.7.

tried this a couple weeks ago at a friends house. This is one of the absolute best from Jack Daniels.

I've been drinking JD for about 30 years now. This is the best Jack i have ever had. The Sinatra was also excellent. Ordered 3 bottles so far 1 of which i gave to my Dad who is a Squire like myself. Going to order more. The shipping is worth it.

I bought a bottle while visiting the distillery in Lynchburg Tennessee and left me wanting more. Unfortunately only place in the USA to purchase so far is at the distillery. I’m glad Masters of Malt is here to help get me my fix! Very happy with purchase and arrived in California in just a few days! I would recommend all whiskey drinkers to try Jack Gold and can’t go wrong ordering from Masters of Malt!

27th November 2016

I spend around $150 a bottle for this Jack. It is not sold USA . I like it better then some of the scotches I drink.. Well worth the price and shipping

7th November 2016

By far the smoothest Jack Daniels I have ever had. The double mellowing has left nothing but awesome flavors.

7th November 2016

its very smooth but seems to have lost a bit of its JD flavor. I definitely prefer Single Barrel or even Gentlemen Jack

3rd November 2016

Just purchased in cozumel, mexico last week. Took my first sip tonight and ...wow! I love orig. JD and this is a smooth, refined sipping version of the original. Even my husband, who is a scotch drinker, was wowed by it. He doesn't like to drink Tennessee bourbon but was impressed with how smooth no. 27 gold was. I am so glad I splurged in the duty free shop and brought home a bottle!!

Good whisky

11th December 2015

I found this to be somewhat disappointing. On the one hand, JD have done a fantastic job at creating what I would consider to be their most refined whisky yet, and so for this reason I do not think its price is unreasonable. However, its mellow flavour and smoothness really leaves it too far removed from what I consider JD to be. It is almost flavourless compared to the full flavour one expects of JD, and the fact that it is so smooth also detracts from the JD brand. I like a smooth whisky, but I want just a little roughness when I drink JD.

In summary, JD have done a masterful job at creating a smooth, mellow whisky. I just think they've done too good a job - very easy to drink, but just not enough character left to know this is JD once it is out of the bottle.
