Ep 152: We Taste Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select and compare it to Original, and Gentleman Jack

[@amirkini9270]

You guys should do a top ten list of best looking whiskey bottles

[@benjaminsitaud9743]

Yeah, some are really nice this single barrel JD's looks fancy.

[@AidenDesJames]

#Hibiki

[@sejoki1]

“The biggest disappointments based on bottle design (according to whisky lovers)”. To me, jack Daniels single barrel makes the race. It looks fancy, but it’s still jack Daniels.

[@paddymack3224]

I never thought I liked whiskey...then I found out I like whisky.

[@MSaucedo760]

Wanted to be the 100th like.. but I was one short 😐😑

[@andrewmartinez5960]

I used to think I liked beer then I tried whiskey

[@dentjoener]

I never thought I liked whiskey, and then I liked bourbon, and then slowly I liked whiskey :)

[@KJCLIPS1324]

Me to lol

[@bvanquish777]

That’s how it be

[@jerm3443]

Hey Daniel, just put a piece of scotch tape or painter's tape on the bottom of the bottles that you have already reviewed. That way when you go to do a video you can check the bottom of the bottles to see which ones have been reviewed and which ones haven't.

[@WhiskeyVault]

mmmmmm. I'll just cast a spell on each. That way I'll know.

[@NikolaKumPopovic]

Or just take 30 sec and type in search bar on channel to see if you did review already...

[@fire_fux]

A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer. Bartender says, 'Sorry we don't serve food here

[@CheeseTaterson]

Totally agreed on the comparison of the different Jack sub-lines. Big Scotch drinker myself, yet when it comes to JD, most of my buddies are shocked that I prefer the original lol. Extra cost does not always mean better!

[@hellogodblessyou6946]

Single barrel has more taste and very fruity compare to normal no. 7. Normal one is awesome too room temp for me though no ice s cheers

[@stanimirivanov4052]

I'll stick with single barrel. Like 90 proof. Whiskey has to be intensive.

[@RatafakTehPlachta]

old no. 7 seriously rocks. im into islays and love the peat spanking and weird challenging flavors and it might sound weird but conceptually jack no.7 provides that just with a differente flavor profile. its an explosion, the bananas, the barbecuy flavor, the nuts, the dark coffee, the slight detergent-y quality.. there is certainly a lot going on in the bottle and its an absolute bang for your buck. truly rocknroll in a bottle

[@StillIt]

Ah thanks for the shout out to guys! Much love! And purple coffee at school? YES YES YES!

[@StillIt]

Men men men men manly men. Pretty cool to see more whiskey specific glasses popping up. I have been looking around and deciding what to get (im still new to all of this). Perhaps you could show off a few of your whiskey delivery devices? Give us a few options to look out for?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Man, I wish we could get the whisky delivery services. They won't ship to Texas right now.

[@StillIt]

Whiskey Vault ....... Think I missed something there...... Haha

[@dutchpagans]

Get a glencairn glass.. so essential to the experience i got it tattooed on my arm

[@henryhammond733]

Whiskey Vault hey guys he wasn't speaking about actually whiskey delivery like online, he said whiskey delivery device to mean the glass

[@StillIt]

Andrew gets me! hhaha

[@MriPodtouchhelp100]

After two weeks of binge watching every episode of the whiskey vault I have finally caught up. Pretty new to whiskey myself, I decided to pick up my first Islay whiskey. I just got an Ardbeg 10 yr and found that I haven't been really living all along.

[@WhiskeyVault]

that was exactly my experience.

[@WoradonNarasette]

Ardbeg 10 is my 1st singlemalt scotch I buy a bottle and drink it empty in 1 week best experience in my life lol

[@jcorbett1168]

"You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey, you're as sweet as strawberry wine, you're as warm as a glass of brandy"

[@WhiskeyVault]

yes.

[@Kemphis]

As a Tennessee man I've personally always considered your basic Jack Daniel's to be a "I know my friends want to mix their whiskey but they better stay away from my good shit" whiskey. One step above the plastic Evan Williams bottle a bottle of Jack is almost a requirement here... Easy Tennessee sippin' whiskey.

[@englishgent3857]

Do u guys sip old no7

[@elawson1991]

Depends on the setting and the day

[@ZadeMeadowsLittleMouse]

The generic Jack Daniels is my absolute favorite whiskey!! It's what got me into whiskey and it will forever be my go to and favorite whiskey!! 😍❤

[@enginagan9932]

U dont know much about whisky, do you?

[@ZadeMeadowsLittleMouse]

@@enginagan9932 no, but that’s why I’m here! Lol

[@parkerpewitt6054]

finally someone agrees with me about jack daniels smelling/having an aftertaste like bananas

[@fallout6653]

parker pewitt omg yesss

[@hellogodblessyou6946]

Hi two version I think one of them normal one and one of them Banana taste both single barrel cheers

[@wolfmasterchelsiw8151]

Wow I've never tasted bananas but when I mix with coke I taste apples lol

[@niekheurkens3053]

I always taste banana to.

[@mostdope3459]

Try the jack Daniels rye it tastes just like banana runts it’s the first think I noticed and with further research it is a common “observation”

[@themikentimcomedyshow3343]

We think maybe it's the water used to distill Jack that accounts for the difference from Dickle. Just like in brewing beer, water can add subtle and complex changes in flavor and body. Jack Daniels' uses water from the Cave Hollow Spring. Here is an excerpt from their site: 'The water is iron free but does have lots of calcium and magnesium from the natural filtration through the limestone. The water is 56 degrees year round and produces roughly 300 gallons per minute. It’s the sole source of water for the cooking of the mash and fermentation of the whiskey'

[@SaekoSanhotd]

i personally wouldn't call number 7 "generic" its the smoothest and best tasting whisky ive come across and deserves the title of original over generic but thats just my opinion. subbed for life guys keep it up.

[@brandonsmith9724]

My absolute favorite whiskey reviews ever. Thank you for doing such a great job. Every time I get a new whiskey I come here and look for the video that you have made one it. Most of the time I am not disappointed.

[@thebadkyle]

I have several different bottles of this that are barrel proof.... I ALWAYS GET A LOT OF PEANUT BUTTER! YOU ARE RIGHT ON! It makes me so happy you said that; I always feel like a crazy person when I say peanut butter.

[@chinchillaintheheat2641]

regular Jack Daniels happens to be one of my favorite whiskeys.

[@gabix7488]

Opinions and different taste. Single Barrel and Silver Select by JD are the best whiskys i've ever had. Better than Sinatra one too

[@gerhardmohrmann6936]

Just found these videos on Whiskey Vault today, man, where have I been... just about 55 years old and started collecting some whisk(e)y's a year ago. ...... the two NUTTY guys enjoying some very good stuff very pleasant, I'm downloading your Vault Videos and will be playing in my bar at home when we do next Whiskey and Whisky tasting. My personal experience is that I enjoy stock standard Old Nr7 most.... had the Single Barrels, Gentleman's, Honey, Spice, but all roads lead to Old No 7.... I love the nutty taste, have a bit of corn chips, then sip Old No 7 ! Btw. I live in Windhoek Namibia.... that's in Africa ok..... keep up the good stuff....I own a few of the whiskeys form your top 10 list..... so I'm somewhat in the ball park of your clan....

[@jeremywertz7278]

After doing the Jack Daniels Tour today, I was surprised at how much I liked the Sinatra select, however at $150/bottle I had to pass. Loved the angels share Tour experience though

[@mepm]

The trouble with the custom JD single barrel selects is that each one is different - they have 3 different flavour profiles that you choose from when you buy a barrel. I've bought several different ones, and some are amazing whereas others are really quite crap.

[@dannyscott3095]

Man this channel must get more subs.The most relevant, informative and visually appealing content on KZbin till date

[@jmwillsey]

Tried all three of these tonight. My favorite: No. 7!

[@alexfarber4746]

I've finally caught up with all the videos and can contribute to the comment community!! I've been waiting for some Jack Daniels reviews, not because I think it's amazing, but since I mainly mooch whiskey off my grandpa and that's what he has all the time.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Welcome to the comments! And well done entering through the mooch door.

[@davetbrunner]

Taste tested different whiskeys tonight at random, alone. When I had standard Jack compared to a 50% 100proof BiB, I immediately thought banana! 🍌 Being such a fan of this channel and covertly watching nearly every video, I contribute the growth of my love for whiskey due to you two. Cheers

[@andrewtrimble480]

Bought this in the Marine corps as gifts because Camp Pendleton has a winery and distillery on base and the ordered barrels still have a few bottles stashed away from 2010,2011,2012

[@haydenholmes1808]

As I've just thoroughly gotten into trying new whiskys. I've marathoned many of your videos as they are very informative. I tried Glen Moray before seeing you're video on it. It's one of my favorites, but I prefer the Heritage collection over the Classic. Try the 12 year as it's affordable, but still great.

[@swavesmoke]

So my buddy and I in college, culinary school, opened up a jack daniels bottle and passed it back and forth and the first note that we got was bananas. I thought my nose must be crazy. That was 10 years ago. So funny to hear you say that too.

[@englishgent3857]

Yes that's what me and my little bro think and gentlemen jack has the same nose

[@kingarthur7255]

This single barrel select might be my current favorite whiskey my friend introduced me to scotch started with glenfiddich 12,14,15,30 years and a few other scotches then he let me try some woodford reserve normal then double oak then a few crown royals then some others i don’t remember recently I bought my own bottles tried makers, dimple pinch my favorite was dimple pinch until I tried this single barrel reserve it’s AMAZING just tried monkey shoulder and it’s meh kinda bland in comparison to this single barrel I got a glass with single barrel select also and it’s fantastic!

[@BrewCityRider]

I was a bit surprised to see you guys review JD...and then praise the regular and ever so popular JD Black label. That is so cool! As many others, it is one of my go-to Whiskey/Bourbons.

[@awesomises]

Wow, Angels Envy port barrel cost about 135USD in Australia... Guess I'm not trying that

[@FEWGEE1]

It seems to be a common theme among a lot of whiskey drinkers that the cheapest No. 7 is better than the more expensive options. I'm honestly not a fan of any JD, but the Gentleman Jack would be my choice if I had no other option.

[@xDoroppu]

Thanks for the review! Nice attempt at pronouncing my last name.

[@WhiskeyVault]

One can only try.

[@victorrodriguez5895]

Different strokes for different folks. Jdsb is one one of the best I own. Also a great gift. The spike is perfect and find it pretty smooth. Fours Rose's sb I my runner up to jdsb

[@stevenjudkins3435]

Whiskey and scotch lover standard jack is the best I love it neat but a splash of water is real gentleman jack and the perfect mixer you still get full flavor when you lighten it up

[@bdcochran01]

I agree with the analysis. When I gift Jack Daniels to relatives, it is the original. However, I have a couple of bottles of the Gentleman Jack that I will be gifting to a couple of millennials in the family. Not having grown up with whisk(e)y, it is a good start because some things have been taken out - making it a bit easier for people not brought up to experience different flavors and notes.

[@340wbymag]

I suspect I have less experience with whisky than anyone that follows your posts and was drawn to this particular post about Gentleman Jack Daniels because I obtained some to compare to my own whisky. My first nose impression with Jack was; flowery, woody... not great, but quite different from my own. After a short time I could detect cherry too... again, not my favorite. After that I began to compare it side-by-side with my own and was shocked when my nose detected that peanut butter fragrance from my whisky. I'd never noticed that before. As to taste; the Jack was just too floral and woody for my taste. My whisky has a sweeter, light vanilla fragrance with a hint of oak... definitely a lesser-aged whisky. It may be a terribly amateur comparison, but it is the first time I have compared one whisky to another, and a very pleasant surprise!

[@kyleb2044]

When I started getting into whiskey I had a bottle of Jack original I hadn't touched in years, surprised how much I enjoyed it neat, very sweet though. I like dickle 12 too. I had to stop trying different whiskeys once I got to 20 bottles and was going through them way to slowly. I'm still mostly in the $20 - $35 whiskey range looking for good ones to try in that mid budget range.

[@JK-Ruddy]

I toured the JD distillery a few years back. I sampled the No. 27 recipe and it was incredible. I left with 2 bottles and a big smile. Look for No. 27.

[@abbysinthe1860]

I'm not really a big fan of Jack in general but I did enjoy the Sinatra Century release. I came across it in a steakhouse being served in a pre-prohibition style old fashioned and had to have a glass neat after that. Was not disappointed.

[@joeboo1983]

Bet that wasn’t cheap round.

[@txlady753]

In 2001 I was stationed in Germany and we were able to get a bottle of Maxwell House Jack Daniels. It was in a beautiful decanting bottle with a cork stopper. The box referenced a hotel that was named Maxwell House. I didn’t have much experience then and had to quickly consume the bottle before my household goods shipped back to the US. Can’t ship liquids. 😢 I am sure this is an impossible bottle to replace at this point. Have you heard of it?

[@greenejr1984]

I picked up a bottle of the reserve select a couple weeks ago at the navy base for $34!!! It was a birthday present for a buddy but it was nearly gone by the end of the night!

[@MatthewEDrew]

Glad you reviewed this one! I received one as a gift from the Texas Rangers (baseball team, not the cops). Rick # R-17 / Barrel 15-5243 / Bottled on 9.22.15. Some similarities, but among nosing notes, I kept getting dill. HEAVY dill, supported by an unavoidable acetone note. Sub tones were molasses/brown sugar and a slate minerality. On the palate, I keyed-in on candied walnut/toffee, spice, maple, cherry and (this is weird) beer batter. Not a go-to for me, but interesting when I want to switch things up a bit.

[@WhiskeyVault]

When the Texas Rangers give you gifts, you have arrived in life.

[@MatthewEDrew]

Whiskey Vault I realize that I didn't really finish the post with the underlying questions I had while watching the review. First, does receiving a bottle as a gift count toward one's mooch factor? Second, shouldn't all of the bottles of this whiskey theoretically taste the same? My tasting notes were completely different from yours, leading me to wonder whether different batches varied to some degree in terms of flavor profile. Or is this just another example of different people tasting different things?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I would say, (first) yes a mooch moment. 2. Taste and smell are two of the most subjective realities that humans encounter. All analysis will be based on the prior brain patterns that you have in your own personal history. Although, very often I get different notes based on time of day, what I've eaten, and what I drank before.

[@chaj47]

well just got back from a visit with Fils Du Roy Distillery and i have seen how they make there whisky and its great. they have a limited batch for a festival in August called L’Eau d’Août and there first single malt in January 2018 along with other types being ready later in the year. they also have a batch ready in 2023 for a 15 year age for the 250 year anniversary of New Brunswick.I hope to get samples to send you soon

[@WhiskeyVault]

That would be amazing! Thanks Jason!

[@thalmonlima]

Hi Guys. I'm from Brazil. I Love black coffe/no sugar. I love Wine. I love IPA Beer. I don't drink Whiskey YET. I'd like to know where your shop is located just so i know where to go whenever i want a nice wheskey and nice talk! Thanks!

[@WhiskeyVault]

We don't have a shop! Just a kickass KZbin community. find a local bar with people who aren't snobby about whisky. You'll be right at home.

[@StrainsYT]

Just opened a bottle of the single barrel select from my local whiskey club. So much banana, I actually really like it

[@christiandaldy1967]

hey Guys, really great channel you guys have put together. I have enjoyed every episode so far. Love the dynamic that you two have. Here's a question, even though I am very familiar with Scottish and Irish whiskies, the whiskies of the Americas have eluded me so far. Could you guys do a top 5 rye and bourbon whiskies for those with a developed pallet?

[@FightStealDrink]

ooohh thats interesting. a top 5 list with a twist. of course, that'd make the whiskey snobs turn rabid, but meh. I'm up for it if daniel is.

[@christiandaldy1967]

Thats would be great, look forward to it appearing in due course. Would I be right in equating say, Islay whiskies to American Rye whiskies?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I think the comparison works as far as dramatic end of the spectrum, but not really on the actual flavor lines. But I think you were referring to the dramatic differentiation. So ... YES!

[@hellogodblessyou6946]

Very tasty I still have the 2016 and 2017 single barrel sealed cheers

[@Drivingwithjames]

What is the top wisky u guys have tried that's your favorite like even if it cost a lot what's the number 1!!

[@brandonmcginnis7369]

i bought my first ever bottle of the single barrel a few days back. the first sip nearly took my breath away.

[@JacobBradley00136]

I don't know about that new rule... the more whiskey the better of course, but Daniels already made it way too easy for Rex to mooch. I think for every glass that is mooched, Daniel should get to tell us a Rex story while Rex drinks the free whiskey.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I like this one.

[@FightStealDrink]

Nope. I already suffer through stories about the whiskey / distillery / techniques / etc. So I'm EARNING these whiskies. The only question that remains is how to punish daniel for his dad jokes. Bonus moochings. That's how.

[@GunnySGT1911]

Rex So if you're Earning these whiskeys, wouldn't that require you to be penalized some mooch points?

[@FightStealDrink]

you send me a whiskey and you can penalize whatever you want.

[@dustyblack5048]

first time i had something on hand that you guys were talking about. i'll keep watching, love the content.

[@foodquig]

I recently got a bottle of the Single Barrel Select, but it will probably taste a little different from the one you have... I don't like Old No. 7... To me it tastes like cherries and kerosene. I also had the Gentleman a very long time ago, and it did not impress me. Here's hoping the Single Barrel Select is more my speed...

[@bigzach322]

I've always thought JD was overpriced so at $57 in NC for the single barrel I just avoided it entirely. However, the 375 mL was on sale for $27 so I took the plunge. It is a fine bourbon for sure. Much, much better than Old #7 or Gentleman. It tastes like double maturation, lots of oak and toffee influence that I've only gotten with some bourbons that are either really old or double casked. But in no way is this single barrel worth a $50-60 purchase when there are so many other great bourbons in the $30-50 range. I do rate it 3.75/5, and I'm tempted to get the barrel proof in the near future.

[@Backroad_Junkie]

Jack Daniels has the best factory tour, hands down. They explain all the differences between bourbon and Tennessee whiskey, and what their different brands are and how they're produced. Just go during a weekday, since Lynchburg is closed on the weekends. Don't go on a Sunday, since the stills don't run on Sundays. Edit: Gentleman Jack is filtered through charcoal twice, regular Jack is filtered once. The filters are these huge containers, maybe 8' in diameter and 20 to 30 feet tall. The raw whiskey is dripped through the charcoal. (When they discard the charcoal, they wash it with water and it's put back into the still...

[@bourbon_ern8941]

Be-careful guys, there’s a recall on those glasses... Laceration Hazard Recall...

[@tallica4life81]

I’m a whiskey dipper and don’t like shots. The gentalmen jack is soo smooth that I only prefer to take shots of it and honestly like it that way.

[@imangus247]

I did a Bourbon and Butchery class a while back sponsored by Brown-Forman. We didn't learn a great deal about butchery but they were very generous with the whisky. I have to say I prefer the standard Jack as well. However, I think their Woodford Reserve holds up. Quite a nice drop.

[@StillIt]

LOL sounds like my kind of butchery class ;)

[@imangus247]

It was "good value for money" as we say here in the UK. However, there was one really irritating thing about it. Some of the folks that turned up were clearly in the wrong place. "I'm a vegan and I don't like whisk(e)y" aren't things you expect to hear people say at a bourbon and butchery class. W T actual F?

[@StillIt]

Ahhhhh.........now that is beyond weird!

[@JimmyLeg]

No one is dumber than people.

[@billl1451]

Being from Tennessee and I drink Jack and George mostly Gentleman Jack now in my older days--if the single barrel wasn't so high I would drink more of it

[@ryintheburg]

Hey, Guys. I'm glad you actually said that Dickel 12 smells and tastes sour (I actually like Dickel12 a lot, but it's definitely different from a lot of my usual whiskies). Anyway, I was so glad to hear you describe it as sour, since a lot of reviewers mention how it's sweet, with caramel and honey. I think some reviewers may be full of horse***. At any rate, I try to drink Dickel 12 before I drink other whiskies, as it seems to enhance the sourness. Try it by itself. It'll change everything.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yeah, anytime anyone (except us because we're G#$damn geniuses), it's always going to be a relative comparison.

[@ryintheburg]

Lol! It is definitely all subjective. It's definitely not as sweet as other whiskies. And geniuses? Well, evil geniuses, but geniuses all the same.

[@thecivilsavage2695]

Just in case y'all missed it on your spreadsheet, still waiting on your review of black bottle. I bought some after watching the Bunnahabhain video and I love it, and I'm just curious to learn more about it and hear more of your thoughts on it.

[@WhiskeyVault]

It's still on the list!

[@coreyjoyner1372]

Just bought a bottle of the single barrel. For sure tastes better with a drip of water. Solid whiskey tho. Got the bottles engraved and a free glass for $40

[@jacobzachary5631]

The single barrel barrel proof is night and day difference And I can find the sbbp for $35 in the wild all day everyday

[@freddieslaughter1107]

Have you reviewed Jack Daniels Single Barrel (Barrel Proof) Tenessee Whiskey? Everyone agrees it is a 92 point whisky, what is your opinion?

[@justanotherparatrooper7098]

i have to agree the regular Jack daniels is probably the best bang for the buck.

[@englishgent3857]

Cause gentlemen jack is only £5-10 more costly than no7 I'd day there the best 2 for quality and value

[@chandlersoccerdude]

how do u guys not have at least 800k subs.. for sure the best whiskey channel there is

[@chacehawkins4708]

I've been into whiskey for a while now, but have never had Jack Daniels. Should I? am I missing anything?

[@captcan78]

"Nobody but Tennessee does the charcoal filtering..." I recently got my hands on a bottle of Jim Beam Choice. The Label says "charcoal filtered" as well. Not sure however, how this compares to the process of Jack Daniel's.

[@nabiscokrundy5317]

Most bourbons are charcoal filtered. Tennessee whiskies differ because they're filtered with sugar maple charcoal and can't be considered a bourbon for that reason

[@nabiscokrundy5317]

To break it down a little more. Bourbons are filtered using activated charcoal, which is entirely flavorless. Tennessee whiskies use charcoal from sugar maple which has a major effect on the flavor of the whiskey. Thats the only true difference between Tennessee whiskey and bourbon, outside of that they're made entirely the same way.

[@friedenstone4739]

Given that I absolutely hate bottom shelf Jack and dislike Gentleman's Jack, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked Single Barrel.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Me too!

[@JoseLopez-pm7xt]

I was watching your video while testing that Jack Daniels. I was comparing it to Uncle Nearest 1884 and Grand old Parr( whisky). Unfortunately by the time I finished I was just drunk so I forgot what the difference amongst them was. All I remember is that all were good. I will try some other time

[@mattmcvector]

Hey guys, aspiring whiskey somm in training here. I love your channel and your approach to enjoying whiskey. You guys should do a video on Hillrock, my new favorite go to bourbon from Dave Pickerell.

[@brandonderr4337]

I mostly drink aged rums and Irish whiskey and was wondering what would be a good beginner scotch for me to try.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Try just about any Speyside!

[@lockguy2652]

Those glasses are awesome.... pretty much all I use these days. 20 bucks for set of four from TW.

[@lockguy2652]

TW = Total wine and more or just go to Libby online and order through them.

[@str8opticroyal]

So my freind is a fan of jack daniels and jameson but doest realy seem to find a lot of enjoyment in things with tons of complex flavors like scotch but wants to start a whiskey cabinet and I want to get him something for Christmas. What would you recomend to broaden him but still let him enjoy it

[@katrinahockman5561]

Well, I have been convinced to expand my whiskey tasting skills now (total novice here - I have had Jim Beam, Wild Turkey and JD, all originals, and that's about it). Currently watching this video after finding nothing but cherry in a glass of original JD. There was a weird sweetness I couldn't place, I'd had some caramel earlier and thought it was that, but then you said banana - sure enough, I go back to the glass and the weird sweetness was banana, 100%. No wonder I like it!

[@JavierMedinaImagery]

I highly recommend Jesse from Still It. He has a great channel with lots of helpful tips. It's also cool to see things that may not be so legal in the US. ;)

[@StillIt]

Thanks, dude :) haha yeah, man. New Zealand sure has its perks. It seems Daniel is officially a hobbit now too, which basicly makes him an honorary kiwi!

[@WhiskeyVault]

We agree :-)

[@WhiskeyVault]

Sweet! Honorable Kiwi!

[@StillIt]

Basically . . . .. ;)

[@StillIt]

LOL @javier I feel pimped!

[@seanscheng]

Hey look, Tommen left a toast for you guys at the end.

[@expel2354]

I know this is an older video, but I had to let rex know that I also get peanuts in whiskey. It usually happens in Tennessee whiskey (Dickel 12 is a good example) but I will find it in a bourbon every so often (Evan Williams 1783 is an extreme example with Jim Beam products coming up behind that). Not a fan of peanut flavored whiskey :( Tell Dan high for me.

[@alexnewman8793]

Thought bourbon wasn't allowed additives, would the charcoal mellow be considered an additive???

[@jeanlafenglish1961]

You guys probably got a bad batch. I've had two bottles of Single Barrel in the past. One was just incredible. Pure bliss. It completely changed my mind about Jack Daniel's. The other one that I purchased later was so-so. On the label they warn you that every bottle will have a unique taste and from my experience, I found it to be quite true. Don't give up on it just yet. Try another batch and see for yourself.

[@Morecommon]

I love Old No 7, but I’m looking to try other stuff. Maybe something will top my current favorite.

[@Ze-Germanzuk]

Just got a bottle for £23 ($29)... I really like it. I'm slightly ashamed to say JD is my go to drink and this just tastes like a slightly spicier, more upmarket version. JD for mixing Gentleman with ice Single barrel neat

[@lawlini1979]

It's on Amazon(UK) at the moment for £30. Still a pretty good price. Looking forward to it.

[@thelastyoutuber9090]

The jack daniels legacy no.3 is awesome sourmash and distilled with cave water

[@williamgarred438]

Visited the Auchentoshan distillery in Scotland. Can you please do a review of some of their Wiskeys? Have had the Springwood and Heartwood ones afterwards myself.

[@WhiskeyVault]

They're amazing! We've reviewed a few, but will do more

[@HIMcules2112]

i think Dickle chills their store house and not sure if they char their barrels or not but I've heard other than the charcoal filtering the way they make their Whiskey is very different then Dack Janiels

[@WhiskeyVault]

They both use charred barrels and charcoal filtering at different points in the process. Also they both use the same grains. Dickel does chill filtering though. Makes it a bit smoother, but also removes some of the flavor components.

[@PwnageEngage]

I get a lot of chocolate in the Single Barrel Select. The empty glass just smells like fudge when i'm done with it.

[@wimbledonfc9576]

PwnageEngage I love the smell of the empty glass after any whisky, leaves a nice residual smell

[@FPTanky]

i am not a whiskey collector, or even a big whisky drinker...but i enjoy your videos anyways 😅 you two are just some genuinely funny dudes

[@WhiskeyVault]

Glad you're watching!

[@cletus_carnage2795]

I was just curious if either of you have ever tried Jack Daniels green label. I enjoyed it more than any of the other but they discontinued it when they added the honey and fire.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I haven't tried it!

[@musicISlyf1]

CletusCarnage 86 it's not discontinued, just not as widely distributed any more.

[@cletus_carnage2795]

musicISlyf1 I had one of the main guys at a big liquor store tell me they stopped making it. Thanks

CletusCarnage 86 He was just misinformed. I was just at the JD distillery in Lynchburg for their tour. They pointed out which were more widely distributed and which were not. Green was one of those not widely distributed. They actually had more whiskeys that I've never personally heard off myself.

What's the best $50 bottle you would take on a hunting trip in the beginning of November to Colorado?

[@orange_bike]

The biggest problem I have with Dickles is that it's always on the shelf surrounded by more tasty whiskeys.

[@labandablancosyazules]

jajajaja i mentioned in a comment before that my favourite moment of all was that transition from the singing to "vainilla.." ajajajaja keep the videos coming, and still waiting for the live chap !

Evan Williams bottled in bond is charcoal filtered.

[@steveb5632]

Just found your channel, huge fan and whiskey drinker love what you guys are doing and well done.

[@locdasmoke]

Good video as always, but I do disagree with Daniel, I love both Dickel and JD. Dickel is however my favorite Whiskey out of everything I've had so far. Also regarding Charcoal filtering and Bourbon, Evan Williams Black label is also filtered with charcoal and that's a Bourbon.

What is it with JD Gentleman Jack? Tried it for first time few weeks ago and it's horrible! Very rough/harsh/ tasteless. Very surprised.

[@nightaudit2835]

You guys should compare the Libbey glass vs the Glencairn and compare how each does with both bourbon and scotch each!

[@WhiskeyVault]

We did that on a Biscuits episode! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3PHgI2VereFabc

[@Questionable_Talent]

Needs to be bourbon trail vs glencairn in somm (whiskey nerd style), not mooch (shenanigans) style.

[@tattuaje]

This may sound like blasphemy but JD single barrel is best over ice. The ice brings out the sweet flavors and makes it an excellent summer drink.

[@QueenHibiscus]

Thank you for saving me some money. I had planned on trying some of the other Jacks but if you say the base model is the best I know I will hate the others. I tried regular Jack for the first time neat not too long ago and hated it. All I tasted was peanut butter and only peanut butter. Being someone who is allergic to peanuts can't say I liked a whiskey that tasted like death. I tried Jim Beam the same day and only got lawn clippings. Has anyone else experienced this? Also both were in the small bottles, can this affect the taste?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I basically agree with you on Jack and Beam. I'm not a fan of either really. But it's not the bottles. It's just the basic flavor of a mass market bourbon

[@joeboo1983]

The Single Barrel is lot better than number 7 and Gentleman Jack is. Base your opinion on your experiance.

[@joeboo1983]

Yeah Jim Bean is truely terrible, chemical chemical with hint of sickly sweet vanilla.

[@r.savage1283]

I really like the bite of Jack Daniels single barrel. However. I don't drink it out of the standard Glencairn. I have a set of Canadian Glencairns. It tastes better in my opinion. Regular Jack Daniels tastes better in my opinion in a regular Glencairn. Now there's a subject for a show you guys. I know I tried Bruichladdich Port Charlotte in both glasses. I preferred the port Charlotte in the Canadian Glencairn. If I remember.

[@ottototo8]

How about a review of Old Heaven Hill. A true Kentucky bourbon but also charcoal filtered. Let the bottle breath for about 20 minutes. First hit is pure wang.

[@LawnD4rt]

Soooo, did you get the double chamber Jack Daniels glasses?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I did! Got one online. Trippy
