Description
Experience the boldness of Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye, a robust offering from one of the most iconic names in American whiskey. Crafted with the same commitment to quality that defines Jack Daniel's, this rye whiskey carries the bonded designation, meaning it's bottled at 100 proof and aged under government supervision, guaranteeing its character and authenticity.
Color: Dark Caramel.
Nose: The nose starts off with notes of fresh cut wood, herbal tea, agave syrup, and underripe fruit. Then comes a splash of toffee, vanilla, and candied cherry to help fill an unexpectedly vibrant and robust nose. The nose is bright (in a good way) and livelier than the sweet, musty, more classic Jack Daniels profile you get in their Tennessee Bonded expression. This is a great nose that punches way above its weight.
Palate: Where the nose is big and lively, the palate starts off soft and gentle before transitioning to flavors of vanilla, green tea, toasted hazelnuts, and dried fruits. There is a touch of herbaceous-ness here, but never feels piney. This is still closer to a barely legal rye rather than a 95% rye like Bulleit, so you will find a few more bourbon notes than you might expect. This doesnt have the same dessert-like character than you might expect from Jack Daniels other expressions but has a fantastic mouthfeel full of body and weight. It dances across the tongue and envelopes the sides of mouth. The mouthfeel here is truly excellent.
