- Excerpt: The impact of that maple barrel is profound and, frankly, a bit too intense for everyday drinking, culminating in a whiskey that ends up dialed a bit too far to the sweet side of things for may tastes. That said, rabid Gentleman Jack fans may want to pay a bit closer attention to this release.

- Excerpt: And while the maple notes were enjoyable, the wood notes dominate the pour and prevent other flavors from fully developing. The result is a relativity dry, tannic experience that left me wanting more.

- Excerpt: It’s good overall but light, thin and really sweet. Right for the right kind of drinker, and makes for an easy "relaxing dram" - something light, flavorful, and doesn't require a lot of work to break down. No off putting notes.

Intro:
Filtered twice, aged in American oak barrels and finished in maple barrels, Jack Daniel's No. 27 release is a limited edition priced around $80. It's worth noting here, orthogonal to the current maple syrup barrel finishes some producers are releasing, that Jack Daniel's is using barrels made from maple wood for finishing - not oak barrels that aged maple syrup for some period of time.
-
Nose:
Sweet banana runts on the nose, maple candies and honey.
-
Taste:
Thin palate but sweet and enjoyable. Honey roasted peanuts, banana foster and caramel.
-
Finish:
Short unremarkable finish. Sweet honey, bananas and cream. Sort of wisps away - very quickly. Would not use for cocktailing.
-
Overall:
It’s good overall but light, thin and really sweet. Right for the right kind of drinker, and makes for an easy "relaxing dram" - something light, flavorful, and doesn't require a lot of work to break down. No off putting notes.
