    Jack Daniel's Single Barrel

    Color
    Amber.
    Nose
    Charred oak, sage, honey, wet leather, rye, a wee bit of attack.
    Body
    Medium weight and oily. Soft at the outset, but starts to grind and pry as you swish it around.
    Palate
    Sweet dark sugar to start, then subtle grains of what appear to be rye and corn.
    Finish
    The sugary sweet gives way to a dry rye that muscles in and wipes away any notion that this is anything but a bourbon - never mind the purist definitions! Very long lasting and warm.

    This one oscillates me between JB Black Label with it's excellent rye delivery and Buffalo Trace with its marvelous balance. And so it is that my score teeters between the two. This is a very good whiskey, if even a bit sharp on the nose (and a forgiveable sin at that, given the higher ABV of 47% my barrel #9-1991 bottled on 6-16-2009 provided). Don't dare mix this with anything but a bit of water to open things up.
