Wow. But i have to admit, JD has surprised me in the past. In a good way.

I was surprised in a good way as well. I think it's going to be in the running with a couple others as my bourbon of the year.... At least right now

Great review, Peter! Never had, nor seen, rheumatoid arthritis JD 10 or 12s, but am sure they are tasty. When starting out, I had some false preconceived notions about JD products. Boy was I wrong! There are some great JD offerings. Cheers!

I had the same thoughts about Jack Daniels. In fact, when I first started my journey, I recall seeing the fancy bottles of Jack Daniels on the allocated counter and walking right by them. I have a sneaking suspicion it may have been the Coy Hill. I won't be doing that again.

Best whisky review channel ever ! Could you review Aberlour series ? Aberlour 18 and Abunadh is my favorite one, but I cant explain the note and the taste of it..!

Great suggestion! Let me see what I can do. I have June and July videos planned out already so it will need to go into August if that's okay. Thanks and cheers!

I am very happy I was able to get one at retail. Very good, but I wouldn’t overpay. Thanks for the review!!

Nice review! I was lucky to get JD 10 batches 1, 2 and 3. Have only opened batch 2. Also have JD 12 batches 1 and 2. Have only opened batch 1 which is fantastic. 🥃
@whiskeyisajourney4 ай бұрын
That seems to be the consensus with batch one of the 12-year-old. If and when you open up batch 3 of the 10 I'd be interested to see how that ranks with you compared to the other bottles. Cheers!

Great video. Jack 12 batch 1 was amazing. Own batch 2 but have not opened it yet but many say it isnt as good as 1. Batch 2 of jack 10 wasnt great. Curious how batch 3 compares.

Thanks. This bottle surprised me. I definitely liked it more than I expected. Could be in the mix for whiskey of the year for me.

Good review! Cool to hear you are doing a Nearest Green video. If you'd like some samples of the premium Uncle Nearest releases (Masters Blend, Uncut/Unfiltered Rye, single barrel whiksey and/or rye) to review I'd be more then happy to share.

Anthony that works for me. We can exchange samples. Send me an email or DM me on Instagram.

A store near me is selling 12 year for $750 and 10 year for $500. I told the guy i would never return and let people know about his store

Nice Video Peter! I have not tried the 10 but I want to. I agree its hard to find at a reasonable price.
@whiskeyisajourney4 ай бұрын
I'm impressed with the batch 3. Like I said in the video I don't have any other batch of the 10 or the 12 to compare it to, but this one is very good.
@WhiskeyCurious4 ай бұрын
Thats a pretty high score. I might pop for a pour but I kinda have a tipping point in my head, if its over $75 I want to get 100+ proof.

I have all five batches. I don't think any of the 10s beat out the two 12 year olds. I liked last year's 12yr over this years. However, now I'm thinking about blinding all 5 soon!

Hi Peter! I was concerned this Jack Daniel's 10 Batch 3 might be too sweet but your review sounds like there are many elements here on the palette! I think I sway much more to scotch and some excellent higher ABV 95/5 or 100% Ryes because I get less of the sweet notes on my palette. I will keep an eye out! Cheers!
@whiskeyisajourney4 ай бұрын
Don't get me wrong it is sweet but not nearly as sweet as I thought it was going to be and a lot better than I thought it was going to be so... Win Win!

This should be called Tennessee bourbon whiskey. As the mash bill is a bourbon mash. Charcoal doesn't really add to the flavor just takes out impurities. Great review and yes it's a shame they are going to the 700ml and still charging what a 750 goes for..
@andrettski86864 ай бұрын
Yeah, what's that all about. The Triple Mash and Bonded are 700's as well. It's not like JD isn't making money. Kind of a slap in the face of their customers.
@whiskeyisajourney4 ай бұрын
It's interesting so see what distilleries are putting out 700 ml bottles or keeping them at the 750.

Trevor's on McDowell had a bundle of the 10 and or the 12 with a gallon of Old No7. I was actually looking for the 10 so it worked out well. When I got there there were out of the 12, but they said I could have actually bought both. There was a limit of one each.
