Jack Daniel's distinct taste comes from mellowing the freshly distilled whiskey drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. The distilled whiskey is subsequently matured in American Oak barrels hand-made by Jack Daniel's themselves. The only major distiller in the world to make their own barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Nutty and roasty caramel, vanilla, and roasted oak, followed by cinnamon, clove, toasted banana, red apple, and hints of licorice, grain, and grass.
Finish: Long spicy-forward whiskey with a little body and roundness
