What the Distillery Says
High standards delivered at 100 proof
We’ve been making exceptional Tennessee Whiskey since before the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Our Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey is created from our classic Old No. 7 recipe made in one distilling season, aged for at least four years in our federally bonded barrelhouses, and offered at 100 proof.
Aroma: Seared corn and caramel with light hints of vanilla and butterscotch
Taste: Toasted marshmallow and maple
Finish: Oaky, sweet, and slightly herbal
What Gary Says
Nose: Slightly burnt caramel, charred oak, cocoa, banana nut bread and burnt marshmallow.
Palate: Creamy mouthfeel, chocolate, pepper, marshmallow, nutmeg, maple candies and a hint of banana.
Finish: Moderate in length with chocolate and banana nut bread.
Comments: No surprise to me that Jack Daniels at a higher proof is better than the standard bearer. This definitely has all of the hallmarks of Jack Daniels, and while solid it is a tad sharper than I’d expect for only 50% ABV.
