Excerpt: It’s bold and citrus-forward on the finish, with notes of spiced almonds and chocolate, and it surprisingly drinks fairly easily even at more than 65% abv.
Excerpt: Knocking it out of the park here. Jack Daniels delivers a long time ask from me this year in the form of a powerful rye that manages to remain complex and enticing, even in the face of 60+% ABV.

House Review
Intro:
A hotly awaited release, Jack Daniels has finally released a Single Barrel, Barrel Proof, release of their rye whiskey, after years of offering their bourbon.
Nose:
Rich clove, honey, brown sugar and a hint of clove. Light on the banana, heavy on dessert notes like that brown sugar. Heavy and decadent.
Taste:
Sweet cream, clove, rye spice and brown sugar. Spicy banana notes - like pepper, banana runt, some cinnamon. Pretty balanced, and the rye spice integrates so nicely against the brown sugar and banana.
Finish:
Long finish. Heavy on molasses, clove, white pepper and a hint of tropical fruit.
Overall:
Knocking it out of the park here. Jack Daniels delivers a long time ask from me this year in the form of a powerful rye that manages to remain complex and enticing, even in the face of 60+% ABV.
