Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash Bonded
(Credit score: Brown-Forman)
Earlier this spring, Jack Daniel’s launched a brand new collection on bottled in bond whiskeys. One in all these was a revamping of an already present expression, Jack Daniel’s Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey. This one took an already present, one-liter journey retail bottle and repackaged it as a basic launch in a 700ml, Euro-friendly bottle. I’ve taken a while in attending to the opposite, totally new a part of the collection: the Triple Mash Blended.
This can be a mix/hybrid of three separate whiskeys made in Lynchburg: 20% is the acquainted JD Tennessee Whiskey; one other 20% is their American Malt, presumably of the identical inventory because the Particular Launch made earlier this 12 months; and 60% from their rye whiskey. All three shares are bonded, as they should be for the mix to consequently qualify as bonded. So, the whiskey is 4 years outdated (the statutory minimal age), all coming from the Lynchburg distillery and made in the identical season, and all bottled at 100 proof. Additionally, all three have undergone the signature Lincoln County Course of as utilized by Jack Daniel’s: the brand new make whiskey is drip-filtered via a vat of sugar maple charcoal previous to barreling.
The Whiskey
The nostril current as oatmeal cookie dough with a heavy serving to of the attendant spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) stirred in. On the palate, it’s as mellow as one ought to count on from a Jack Daniel’s whiskey, but additionally heavier. The flavour profile takes extra of a flip in the direction of banana bread, albeit one with loads of the aforementioned cookie spice mix and vanilla added. The malty facet, I believe, presents itself extra with the gravity of the pour than in its taste profile, however having not tried the American Malt from Jack Daniel’s, I’m ill-equipped to drag it out from the opposite components. The end delivers a comfortable present of spiciness.
The Worth
That is set at a really cheap $33 per bottle.
