The Sinatra Select is available here in Ohio and can be found without too much trouble. It sells for $155 here and usually just sits on the self. It is a really nice looking box and maybe it's worth a one time buy just for collectors value considering it is a 1L bottle.

I have come to love all things Jack Daniel's. Not surprisingly, I go bananas over bananas too! I think the Sinatra Select is best thought of as an overall experience for a JD fan and a must to complete a collection. No way did I ever expect it to beat my SBBPs or SBBP Ryes but it is still a good pour that has a unique profile. It is always the bottle that catches the eyes of visitors and gives me a an opportunity to introduce them to a world other than the Old No. 7 of their youth they would rather forget.

This is really funny because while listening to this while looking for something to have a pour of, I poured my Jack Daniel's single barrel select from 10-20-21

JD Single Barrel changed my mind about Jack Daniels as my only real experience with JD was how Old No. 7 ruined my bachelor party 😅 It's a great value - lots of flavor for a lower proof pour, and you can pretty much find it everywhere for under $50. I have heard mixed reviews on the Sinatra Select, but I happened upon one for about $100 and decided to bite the bullet, though I haven't cracked it yet. Glad to know I didn't overpay! At least the box is nice. Maybe I'll save it as a gift...

I did the JD distillery tasting with all the single barrel products, gold no27, and sinatra... And the gold and sinatra were just not as impressive. They are smooth but lacking depth of flavor that you get from the single barrels and barrel strength, the rye is fantastic

Sipping some JD SB Select now....Flavor bomb.....94 proof. Hard to compare the 80 proof JD flavored water in the Sinatra bottle with this banger... Mix SB Select with Barrel proof for a real treat. The harsh reality here is you are getting regular 80 proof old number 7 in the Sinatra bottle...You're paying for the name and fancy box. It's a collectors item not a drinker. The JD Select is JD select..... Good show! Thanks.

@donnyengell847010 ай бұрын
I really enjoy the Sinatra juice as I was gifted a bottle and had some fun gatherings with it. Even poured some neat for No 7 drinkers with slightly cringy moments when they later mixed Sinatra with Dr. Pepper but to each their own and the guests had a great time.

It’s a great gift bottle for sure! There’s definitely a good market for that purpose given its presentation. We wouldn’t be mad at having one around at all.

The reason why Sinatra tastes a little softer, is because Jack Daniel tries to achieve the flavor the way Sinatra liked his Jack Daniel's

I picked up a bottle of the Chinese New Year, Year of the Dragon. It's just Single Barrel in a nice box. I haven't had JD since I was in my 20's as I quit drinking bourbon until I was 50 and I always thought JD was a cheap drink. I have since educated myself and have found put that they make some great bourbon. I am looking forward to popping this one open. Another great blind guys.

I would be curious what non-high proof bourbon drinkers would think blind. I personally get leather notes I never get on other JD products that endears me to the JD Sinatra. The JD Select I own is a barrel pick and tastes like the typical JD bourbon profile. Definitely some I will have to blind in the future.

I got my Sinatra Select from a Duty Free, since where I live is the only way to get it. I really like the bottle, box, however when I sipped, it was like a smoother version of Single Barrel Select, for the price $180, I got disappointed, since I’m a Sinatra fan, I can’t complain at all.

I have a jd sb barrel at 128 and find it too difficult to drink without adding water. Would I be better off just going with 94 proof?
@stuffandwhiskey10 ай бұрын
Maybe. Some of the barrel proof single barrels can be quite hot (even if they’re in the mid 120s) while others are great (even if they’re in the low 130s). The variance of single barrels means you never really know unless it’s a store or group selection and you know the palates that picked it. That said, the 94 proofer is definitely worth picking up in our book. You could even try blending the two in different ratios to find your perfect proof point.

Because water impacts your palate just as much as going glass to glass, and we take our time off camera in the middle of the video to rinse, wait, sip, repeat back and forth.
@rafaelcapellan41158 ай бұрын
How does water impact the palate? I thought that you taste one then try to cleanse the palate before you try the other so as to try to not have the finish of the first. That's how I think is best I may be wrong about that.
@stuffandwhiskey8 ай бұрын
@@rafaelcapellan4115 a single drop of water in an entire glass of whiskey can change it. A whole mouthful of water and the residual left after swallowing will impact the next sip. Same for letting the whiskey sit on your palate with saliva production. Bottom line is do what works for you. For us, time is the only guaranteed way to avoid influence, which is why we take a break in the middle. Water before, other whiskey before, etc all impact our next sip unless we wait, so we do what consistently works for us and encourage others to do the same. There is no right way. Only the way that works for you.

I've never cared for Frank Sinatra, so I sure won't buy something just 'cause his name's on it. 🙂 But I have learned that Jack Daniel's can make good whisky when they want to - the black label is emphatically NOT their best whisky and I wish it didn't have everyone's attention the way it does. 9:13 I've not had the regular JD Single Barrel, but I love the Single Barrel Barrel Proof. Due to budget considerations the next JD I buy, whenever that is, will be the standard single barrel.
