As promised I’m here with another whiskey post. Almost everyone has something to say about this Lynchburg product. Some say it’s among the best things money can buy, some say it’s total crap and I don’t know any other whiskey that has been subject for this much debate. JD has a reputation of being THE rock ‘n’ roll whiskey and it’s true that rockers such as Nikki Sixx has consumed massive amounts of Jack and helped it gettin as big as it is today. To me that’s not really a bid deal if the drink I choose to drink is considered to be though or whatever.

Jack Daniel’s has maybe the most famous bottle shape and label of all whiskies in the world. A square shaped bottle with black label covered with white writing. It’s belivied that Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was only sixteen when he became a distiller, more about the history can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Daniel’s. Jack is a Tennessee whiskey, which is almost like bourbon with one exception. It’s filtered through charcoal. To my knowledge there is only one Tennessee whiskey and that is Jack Daniel’s, but don’t quote me on that.

The liquid has a golden color amber color. JD has a mellow taste with vanilla and fruity parts. I don’t know how to describe the taste really, except special with a lot of character. It’s way smoother compared to bourbon whiskeys like Jim Beam and Four roses due to the charcoal filtering. Well that’s about it.
Rock on!
