Incredibly old for a bourbon, this bottling of Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve was aged for 20 years and retains a beautiful sweetness, a perfect digestif whiskey.
Stewed fruits on the nose, sweet spices, oiliness, white chocolate, walnut.
Rich, soft and sweet oak with custard. The mouthfeel is like silk, and Preston Van Winkle likens this to a classic Cognac, and we reckon he’s onto something. The maturity, smooth/oily feel of this on the tongue, coupled with musty fruitiness sum up what we love about a decent XO, this is sublime.
Good length, with hints of honeycomb, peppery spices and prune.
Heaven!
51% or more corn... Jack Daniels is a bourbon
I have two bottles of the 20. It's smooth and creamy, as you'd expect a good wheated to be, but seriously guys, not worth the inflated pricetag - save yourself £150 and get a bottle of Weller 12 instead, It's almost as good.
Jack Daniels is not a bourbon though .
Jack Daniels Silver Select 100 proof or Jack Daniels Sinatra
