Jack Daniel's Scenes from Lynchburg No.3

Jack Daniel's SB Barrel Proof

The reviewed bottle was opened one week ago Nose: this is Jack Daniel's I can believe in. This is a very sweet, very caramel-y, very high-pitched extremely intense nose. Lots of vanilla. A little hickory wood. This is like molten caramel poured over cotton candy. It is beautiful and clean. Water added lowers the pitches more to the medium range...

Score 90/100

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel

I don't like the No 7 to which I would probably give a low 70'. But I tought I should give another chance to Jack since so many loves it. So I went for the single barrel at 47% ABV. The review bottle is from rick 2, barrel 14-5188 and was bottled on 9-10-14. This bourbon could be compare to a lot of good bourbons! On the nose, you have a saw dust...

Score 88/100

Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack

This is definitely a step up from the run of the mill Jack Daniels but it was nothing I could get really excited about. I had two fingers with a cube of ice and it was still a bit rough on the edges. Jack in my mind is a mixing whisky and it was not easy to drink straight, even the higher end Jack. Money could be better spent elsewhere...

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Silver Select

I had the regular Old No 7 from Jack Daniel’s before and now tried the big brother, the Single Barrel Silver Select. He has a lot in common with the Old No 7 (sweet corn, vanilla, coconut and oranges with a tiny bit of banana), but the higher ABV (50% instead of Old No 7’s 40% ABV) does give an extra kick. In fact, I took me by surprise. Ouch! On...
