Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel's
$150
80% corn, 12% rye, 8% malted barley
Nose
Dark chocolate, leather, baking cabinet oak, and ripe cherry with a hint of blackstrap molasses; oak takes a prominent role.
Palate
Powerful and drying with dark cherry, butterscotch, and baking spice; the high proof amplifies intensity and the finish becomes notably tannic.
Finish
Long, dry, and spiced with lingering oak and tannins; sweetness recedes.
Overall Score
3.9 / 5
A full-throttle, high-proof expression that delivers dark fruit and oak intensity but sacrifices some of the sweetness and balance found in younger age statements.
