Jack Daniels Single Barrel 45%
Tasting Note
Barrel No. 8-3277 09-12-08
Tasted: Feb 2009
A sweet and slightly syrupy opening with thick, caramel and vanilla lace grains. Slightly earthy with a violet note, A pleasant depth with a slightly orange note.
Surprisingly light in the mouth with no shortage of pepper and spices complimented by natural caramel, oak and lively grains. A touch short but it has a wonderful, pure vanilla pod note in the finish. Good intensity though.
A drop of water emphasises the soft, caramel graininess of the nose and relegates the sweetness somewhat. On the palate it subdues the intensity and homogenises somewhat but doesn’t tame the pulsating spices and wood notes. It also brings out a touch of toffee coated banana in the after taste.
