Nose - Loads of honey vanilla and cinnamon. Very lovely jack nose. Some banana lingers as jacks typical nose/palate. Very lovely nose nice, complex but in a complimentary way. Palate - Honey banana very light oak. Thats kind if it. Its a solid palate and a fantastic nose but the palate doesnt compare as well to batch 1. Finish - Some cinnamon oak and leather, very classic whiskey finish. Some vanilla and banana creep back up to finish it out.
Jack Daniel's 12 Year Tennessee Whiskey (Batch 2)
About this bottle
Batch 2 of this 12 Year Tennessee Whiskey is the latest release in the Jack Daniel's annual Aged Series. While previous batches will have slight variations, each was made with the same mash bill recipe (80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye). They were also charcoal mellowed and aged in toasted and charred American white oak barrels. Initially, the barrels were placed in the upper floors of the barrelhouse before being relocated to lower racks to extend its maturation. Available in limited quantities across the US beginning February 2024. (SRP $94.99/700ml)

Overall a fantastic pour, nose is a very familiar sweet Jack Daniels banana accompanied by burnt brown sugar and oak. Palate is complex, sweet, and oily in which all elements of the nose follow through to the palate with the additon of candies nuts and a slight hint of cinnamon to provide a truly unquie flavor.
Nose is deep and rich charred old oak with a banana molasses sweetness Taste is big and bold up front - oak / molasses punch. Coats the palate like no other with a wild butteriness. Finishes long with a barrel char, powdered-sugar banana fosters, molasses, and a charred-almond tang. Really good
Proof dominates fist taste. But give it time. Carmel toffee maple dried fruit start to come through. Very good. Not sure it lives up to the hype or the price.
Strong char. Trademark Jack Daniel flavor. Pretty high octane. Unique, but not necessarily aomething i would look forward to as a regular sipper.
