Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof

  • December 13th, 2023

My Notes

👃 Nose: Maple syrup, sweetness, tree bark, leather, and tobacco.

👅 Taste: As you take your first sip, you'll be greeted by the rich flavors of wood, leather, a hint of vanilla, and a touch of tobacco. The alcohol heat adds a pleasant warmth, while the dry crystalized maple leaves a lingering sweetness on your palate.

🎯 Finish: The caramel, wood, charred oak, leather, and a slight bitter citrus come together to create a good finish.

💪 Proof: At a massive 129.1 proof, this whiskey packs a punch from that single barrel strength.

💰 Price: $65

⭐ Rating: ★★

🔖 Summary: Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof is a pass from me. Its a hotter, slightly more complex version of the routine JD and doesnt offer much more than heat for the majority of drinkers.

How to Taste
With your whiskey at room temperature, put the glass near your nose and close your eyes and inhale. What do you smell? Drink a sip, just enough to cover your tounge and swish it around front, left and right. then down the hatch. What do you taste? If it burns a little, maybe try to add a couple drops of water. Otherwise, try again - usually after the initial burn, you may get some of the flavors you are looking for.
