- Excerpt: While quite tasty, the palate doesn't quite live up to the exceptional qualities of the nose which will keep this out of the perfect score territory I think. My last sip is a bittersweet farewell to a very enjoyable pour. It carries molasses, hay, pepper and hints of tobacco.

- Excerpt: The finish is of moderate length and is somewhat savory with a little smoke, toffee, and fruity note. Serve it with a large rock for maximum effect.

- Excerpt: The bones of Old No. 7 are still there, however, alongside a lot of fruit that emerges from the glass — applesauce, namely, studded with cloves.

- Excerpt: It’s high proof but not hot, it’s soft, rolls over the tongue, and the finish has a lot to say. This small town in Tennessee makes a big impact once again

- Publication: Rob Report
- Excerpt: The 10-year-old is a lovely whiskey, recognizably Jack Daniel’s as Fletcher intended, but with much more pronounced oak, fruit and tannin notes.

- Excerpt: I really want to love this release, I especially admire seeing Jack Daniel's bring in more oak integration, I just think it suffers at the relatively low proof.

Intro:
Distilled by Jack Daniel's and bottled after 10 years of aging, this bottling is the oldest spirit released so far from the distillery - quite the milestone.
-
Nose:
Sweet buttercream, honey roasted peanuts, banana split, apple pie, cinnamon candies and big big tobacco. Decadent, complex, strong oak character. Winner.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium palate, a good deal of oak, toffee, some banana cream pie. The nose is intoxicating, the palate is less than stellar, but still very pleasant. I hesitate to call it simple, but it's straightforward.
-
Finish:
Medium finish, strong oak notes, toffee, a big dollop of cocoa which is intriguing.
-
Overall:
I really want to love this release, I especially admire seeing Jack Daniel's bring in more oak integration, I just think it suffers at the relatively low proof.
