Jack Daniel's 12 Year Old Batch 4
107 proof
12 years
Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel's
Lynchburg, TN
$100
80% corn, 12% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose
Black cherries, raisins, molasses, and darker fruit notes; lighter on the ethanol compared to the 10-year despite higher proof.
Palate
Drier profile with dried cranberry, bitter cacao chocolate, burnt chocolate notes, and a faint green bitter note on the mid-palate.
Finish
Dry finish lacking the companion sweetness needed to break through.
Satisfying
A darker, drier iteration that falls short of previous year's expression, delivering more oak and bitterness but missing the balance and sweetness that made earlier batches memorable.
