    Jimmy Bedford, Jack Daniel's sixth Master Distiller, has been making whiskey a long time. An official taste-tester and the man who decides which barrels should become Jack Daniel's Single Barrel, he has a gift for detecting the subtle differences a barrel brings to his or her whiskey. Each bottle of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel is hand-labelled with its barrel number, giving whiskey connoisseurs the opportunity to compare the tastes from different barrels. So, when you try Jack Daniel's Single Barrel for the first time, note the barrel number. Try to detect the different nuances - a strong caramel or vanilla presence, perhaps; or maybe the toasted oak flavour or fruit drawn from the barrel wood captures your tastebuds.

    oak/maple smokey and spicy. On the sweeter side.
    Body
    Full body with a pleasant little bite.
    Palate
    Fruity spice, hint of smoke
    Finish
    sweeter spicy and warm. Long finish that is very relaxing.

    A gift from my wife. One that will be with me a long time. A wonderful drink to relax and feel good about. Not a mixer, a slow sipper.

    Very full bodied.
    Palate
    Maple, caramel, vanilla, charcoal.
    Finish
    I poured this over a few ice cubes and let it mellow and open up. Absolutely amazing taste, you can taste the maple, vanilla, and caramel very well. Very smooth also.

    This is my favorite whiskey to date, I wish the price was a little cheaper, if it was I would always have a bottle in stock.

    nice long finish, very sweet

    Didn't think I would like it, but was pleasantly suprised, add a little water and it will really open up this whiskey. I will definately buy more of this stuff. It's great.
