Jake’s Tasting Notes: Jack Daniel’s 10 Old Batch 002

Color:

Nose: Vanilla custard, cracked pepper, hints of citrus that are mellowed out by charred oak.

Palate: Just like the 12 year-old Whiskey, this 10 year-old whiskey is absent the traditional banana notes that have become infamous with Jack Daniel’s. This whiskey is vanilla and oak forward that coats the palate. Full of traditional bourbon flavors that are enhanced by the charcoal mellowing process.

Finish: Crème Burlee with a nice long finish  

Closing Thoughts

This did not disappoint, it comes in at such an approachable proof point and carries an affordable price point. If I were to see this on the shelf it would be a must buy. It is a solid pour with good complexity and rich flavors!
