Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey (80 Proof)
80 proof
NAS
Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel's
Lynchburg, TN
$27–$30 (handle)
51% corn, rye, malted barley
Nose
Simple but nice with caramel, oak, and pepper. A bit of honey and black tea. Earl Grey with honey and orange zest. Not much alcohol burn on the nose.
Palate
Goes down real easy and smooth with no sharp edges. Sweet tea, honey tea, and brown sugar. Peanutty or nutty taste, possibly peanuts rather than almonds. Just enough bite to confirm it's real whiskey. Not viscous.
Finish
Smooth finish that doesn't linger heavily.
Disappointing
An accessible, everyday Tennessee whiskey that's smooth and easy-drinking but not particularly distinctive—perfectly suited for cocktails and highballs rather than neat sipping.
