Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Coy Hill Barrelhouse 8 (2024 Special Release)

I would say this is pretty perfect. Balanced and might even prefer this to the 2021 release as it is a bit tamed down for me. Not so in your face. Only flaw to me i could pick out is to maybe have the palate not be so one dimensional from a flavors side but that might be a stretch as this is great. Nose: Incredibly rich, big cherries, maybe a grape note. Palate: sweet, viscous, a little heat but not too much. Has some peanuts to it for sure but again just so balanced. Finish: medium to long just keeps going and going.

Nose: seasoned oak, apple pie, molasses, ginger snaps Palate: explosion of apple pie, cinnamon stick Finish: seasoned oak comes back, dark chocolate, espresso, leather Never thought id say this but neck and neck with the 2021 release. Lower proof doesnt hurt it. Oak is perfect, not over powering and shines in the finish. 8 on the t8ke scale

A bananas foster and mint chip explosion. Nose: Cinnamon, Red Apples, Honey, Molasses, Bananas Foster, Mint Chocolate, Luxardo Cherries, Pecan Pie Palate/Finish: Bananas Foster, Mint Chocolate, Maple Syrup, Rum Raisins, Honey, Toasted Vanilla

I love this bottle! Big, bold, and rich! Give this some time to air out and make a quarter ounce last 4 sips to really savor it. It's essentially very rich JD dialed up to 12 that just hangs around. One of my all time favorites.

Nutty? Maybe a bit of banana, good amount of vanilla and oak. Very good, very hot. Surprisingly smooth straight, but needed to put it on ice to be able to taste it lol

Can't get much other than fumes on the nose. The flavor is... Not great. Syrupy, tastes artificial. Lots of proof, sugary sweet. Burn tail. Not for me at all.
