Tasting Notes

Nose: A familiar Jack Daniel's invitation, but with an intriguing twist. Sweet corn and vanilla bean immediately greet the nose, intertwining with classic caramel and a faint nuttiness. There's a subtle hint of dried apple and a surprising whisper of toasted oak, less assertive than higher proof expressions, allowing the sweeter notes to shine. A delicate, almost floral spice emerges with a second sniff, suggesting cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg.

Palate: The entry is soft and approachable, a characteristic of the 86 proof. Initial sweetness of maple candy and butterscotch coats the tongue, quickly followed by the distinct Jack Daniel's banana ester profile, albeit a bit more subdued than the flagship Old No. 7. Mid-palate reveals gentle baking spices – vanilla and cinnamon are most prominent – alongside a nuanced char and a pleasant nuttiness, reminiscent of roasted almonds. There’s an underlying fruitiness, hinting at cooked orchard fruits with a touch of citrus zest. The sour mash character provides a delicate tang that prevents it from becoming overly sweet, offering a balanced and enjoyable sip.

Finish: Medium in length, the finish is clean and warming, leaving a delightful impression of caramelized sugar and a lingering touch of oak spice. The signature Jack Daniel's sweetness gently fades, replaced by a delicate dry whisper of charcoal and a final, faint echo of vanilla. It's a smooth and pleasant conclusion, inviting another sip without any harshness.
