Tasting Notes
Jack Daniels is timeless. Founded by the legendary Jack Daniels himself in 1864, he learned the art of whiskey-making from a preacher and an enslaved man. He would later hire the man out of slavery to take a spot as the first Jack Daniels Master Distiller.
The nose is smokey and full of spiced brown sugar with undertones of maplewood. The body is nice and full without too much heat. The body leads off with the distinctive sour mash taste, but the notes of singed vanilla, toffee, smoke, and chestnuts shine through. The end is less complex and varied, leaving only notes of young corn whiskey and charcoal.
It’s a timeless and highly popular whiskey, thats for sure. And, for the price, we absolutely believe its a good option for happy hour, your cabinet, and your next soda mixer.
