JACK DANIELS BARREL PROOF SINGLE BARREL 750ML TENNESSEE WHISKEY

History,

“Here’s what’s hard to believe: Jack Daniel’s has never released a barrel strength whiskey. That’s changing, with the release of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof, the company’s first-ever cask strength offering. The whiskey isn’t a terribly complicated idea: Take the JD Single Barrel Select and don’t water it down. Single Barrel is a consistent 94 proof, but these are bottled at whatever the cask gives you, ranging from 125 to 140 proof, depending on the bottle you get. The nose offers maple syrup, caramel sauce, and a little barrel char. On the body, it doesn’t drink like something that is 2/3rds alcohol. In fact, it really needs no water at all to be approachable, though less seasoned whiskey drinkers may want to add a splash.

Tasting Notes,

Nose:The char isn’t overly evident here, which lets the sweetness really shine.

Palate: rich with more of that caramel, butterscotch, a touch of cloves and a lengthy, vanilla-fueled finish.
