Jack Daniel’s Bonded (90)

Nose starts out as a traditional Tennessee Whiskey. Nothing off-putting. Comes off as very balanced, as I’m not getting pulled in any one direction. More spice comes through on the palate than I thought there might be. The palate of this whiskey reminds me of visiting distilleries. When you are driving up, you can smell the distillate in the air. That’s what this tastes like to me. The palate opens up to fruit and brown sugar as it opens up in the glass. At 100 proof, it actually drinks slightly below its proof, in my opinion.
