Two new variants from Jack Daniels - Blogpost by Jan Laursen

Two new variants from Jack Daniels - Blogpost by Jan Laursen

Everyone, and I really mean everyone, is very familiar with Jack Daniels Whiskey. You've probably had it "On the rocks" or with a generous splash of cola, or like me, for many years, referred to Jack D as cooking cream because it was the classic ingredient, or the cheapest, in a good batch of homemade whiskey sauce. Regardless, you have encountered the classic square bottle with the text "Jack Daniels Old No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey," and that even from Lynchburg.

Now, a lot of sauce has run in the jugs, and Jack D is certainly not a small player in the market. Well, old number 7 is probably the most well-known of them all; nevertheless, they have created a variety of different flavor nuances that have been bottled in all sorts of different variants. Apple, Honey, Cinnamon, and I'm coming for you. In this blog, I have had the pleasure of tasting two releases by the name of Bonded 100 and Triple Mash.

Jack Daniels Bonded 100 proof 50%

The name of this implies that it has been stored for 4 years in a government-controlled warehouse, which means it has acquired a bit more character than most Jack releases. The aroma carries the classic Jack sweetness and a good full-bodied character; the 50% is certainly evident in the nose. If you enjoy the sweet and smooth bourbons... no, I mean whiskeys, then this one can be a bit surprising.

The taste is full-throttle, and the rye quickly comes forward. It smoothly glides down the throat, and the warmth and spicy flavor come quite quickly. If you're into Jack on the rocks, then this is definitely the bottle you should buy. It's rich and character-filled, absolutely not a bad experience.

Jack Daniels Triple Mash 100 proof 50%

While the first one was direct in its raw character, the scent in Triple Mash, on the other hand, is very different. Here, you are greeted with a lot of delicious notes of vanilla, syrup, and honey.
As the name suggests, Triple Mash is a mash of 3 different types of whiskey: American Barley, Rye, and Tennessee Whiskey, primarily made from corn.
The taste here is delicious, full-bodied, well-spiced, and warm. You don't get that kick like in the first Bonded edition, more of a velvety smooth taste that actually warms quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend ice here as it would just dilute the sweet and full-bodied flavor; it should definitely be enjoyed neat.

Conclusion
Jack Daniels is constantly trying to make itself relevant in a market that mostly just hoards an old number 7 on the endlessly long pallets in the dusty stores at the borderlands. If you want a bit more from Jack D, I can certainly recommend taking a look at what they have to offer, and these two releases are definitely worth spending money on. Why follow the crowd when you can stand out with a Jack D Triple Mash that many have probably never heard of.
