This whiskey was released in 2016 to celebrate Jack Daniel's 150th anniversary. According to the distillery, it was aged in "slow-toasted" barrels after being made in the usual Jack Daniel's process: 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye mashbill, filtered through 10 feet of maple charcoal. According to Jack Daniel's the barrels in this blend were pulled from the "angel's roost," which is one of the oldest barrelhouses on the Jack Daniel's campus. Bottled at 100 proof, this bottling has a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 1-liter bottle.

  • It doesn’t all come together quite perfectly, its tannic notes lingering a bit, but it’s an altogether impressive bottling from one of the biggest names in American whiskey.

  • The mouthfeel was good, the flavors were unique and well balanced. Sometimes I am surprised and this was definitely one of those cases.

  • This is certainly a very interesting spin on the traditionally mellow and easy drinking virtues of Jack Daniel’s.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Oddly corn forward - almost smells like a corn tortilla or tortilla chip. Very distinctive. Banana, vanilla, mild wood funk, toffee and something that can only be described as peanuts. Its inviting and its not like Beam Peanut Brittle funk but this smells like a new can of Planters peanuts being cracked.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouthfeel, this is definitely better than Signature, another 100pf Old Forester product. Thicker, sweeter but more balanced. There's more peanut here, typical BF bananas foster, toffee and some nice spice and clove. I'm actually enjoying this.

  • Finish:

    Medium and warm - grows more spicy and there's a good deal of complexity here. Lots more honey roasted peanut and banana split sundae (banana, light cocoa, vanilla, some caramel)

  • Overall:

    I love to hate Jack Daniels and I have to admit I'm pretty impressed that this wasn't terrible. In fact, I quite liked this compared to the normal No.7 or the other Old Forester Products I've had. I'm giving this a Rank 6. The mouthfeel was good, the flavors were unique and well balanced. Sometimes I am surprised and this was definitely one of those cases.
