I have been looking forward to getting my hands on Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey. Bottled at 50% ABV) and priced at $29.99/700mL, it promises genuine character.
Nose
It has a fresh, vegetal aroma, with hints of mint and oak.
Palate
Grain and peat hit the palate in a clean, earthy first taste. There are elements of raisin and other dried fruit at the front with cinnamon and caramel flavors developing midway through. There is a nice, mellow burn, not at all harsh, with a smooth finish.
Finish
There is never a bad time to fall back on old favorites, and Jack Daniels has consistently been there through the good and bad times. The brand was one of the first whiskeys that I tried when I was just starting out on my whiskey journey, and Im happy to see theyve maintained their quality as well as developing new and interesting new expressions. This was a thoroughly enjoyable whiskey that I will happily suggest to drinkers of all tastes.
The Bottom Line
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey delivers the goods. It is well-made, genuinely enjoyable, and at $29.99/700mL represents solid value for what you are getting. I would happily buy this again.
