Jack Daniels No. 7
80 proof
What more is there to say other than is the quintessential American whiskey for better or worse. There are many devout followers and just as many who will deride it, but no one will argue that it has a distinct flavor all its own. Despite the common mistake, this is another Tennessee whiskey not a bourbon due the the charcoal filtering. Despite sharing a region of origin, Jack Daniels could be no more diffrerent from George Dickel than it is. Where Dickel is a light boddied almost fruity pallette, Jack Daniel's is a heavy, oily, sweet drink that you can't ignore. Because of this, I personally find Jack a great mixing whiskey because I never worry about losing the flavor. Once 90 proof, and now reduced down to 80 so it could be sold in more states, the whiskey has definately been hurt by this dilution. Don't believe me, try the single barrel.

Jack Daniels Single Barrel
94 proof
What happens when the Master Distillers at Jack Daniels take the time to pick out the most distinctive barrels from the most prime aging areas in their warehouse, and bottle them individually? You get a bottle of whiskey that truly captures the essence of Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. It wasn't until I tried a bottle of this that I could truly appreciate Jack. Of course they say each barrel is uniquely different, but I doubt my pallete and nose are that good. Either way, this bottle brings to mind vanilla, oak, caramel, and toasted banana esters.

Gentleman Jack

Jack Daniels charcoal filtered twice for an extra smoothness. I use this when mixing such drinks as a hot toddy, whiskey grog, or eggnog. why? I don't know...because it's there maybe? It is definately nice in that it is not distracting in these drinks, but certainly adds flavor as well. It's okay, but nothing special in my opinion.

Jack Daniels Green Label
80 proof
Now that the black label is also 80 proof, there has been some confusion as to what the difference between the green and black labels is. Some think the two are differentiated by professional tasters and the better barrels are used in the black bottles, but in actuallity the difference is in the number of years aged in oak. The black label is aged for about 5 years, while the green label gets 3-4 yrs. This difference results in a fruitier and less oaky whiskey. It's very subtle, and I'm probably just projecting what I think I should be tasting.
