Received a sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Dark fruit, caramel, vanilla. Palate: Cinnamon red hots, with some baking spice and oak. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: Some fruity notes return. Overall: 8.5/10 - At MSRP, I could see this being a weekend dram. Sadly, I never see these for MSRP.
About this bottle
Batch 3 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 2025. (SRP $94.99/700ml)

Perfect proof for it. The oak is strong but it is balanced. A slight hit of red fruit and then it fades to brown sugar and molases. Medium finish and worth the orice IMO 9/10
Good Flavor and finish. Quite tasty however not quite as good as the JD10 this year
