Jack Daniel's "Bottled in Bond" Review

[@androkles04]

The editing has indeed been awesome as of late. I especially like it when Daniel slaps the cork into the bottle after it's been opened. Part of me wants Dan to add blushing cheeks to the bottles whenever Daniel does that.

[@jonstorm1484]

You just nasty 😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@dylanvickers7953]

Rex, just to explain and I hope Daniel will back me up here, the reason “10% more alcohol” gives more than 10% worth of flavor is because it’s not 10%, it’s 25%. The whisky is at 40%, then 10% higher proof represents ¼ of the total original amount. So with 10% more alcohol you get 25% more flavor. This is legit my whole theory for why 100 Proof is so much better than 80 proof, it’s a lot more dramatic of an increase than it seems from the numbers.

[@jonstorm1484]

But they don't HEAR YOU THO?! Maybe more money

[@THEPHYSICALSPIRIT]

Concur with your hypotheses and the math is correct.

[@1218Draco]

Fuk Math, Gimme Whiskey

[@67L48]

Math is hard. 50 is 25% more than 40. Seems simple enough … and you will NEVER get people to understand that. Ever.

[@williamburke8954]

Greatest production thus far! The fighting story reminds me SO much of myself when I was in school. Good on ya Rex!

[@sabinfigaro7334]

You guys are pumping these out Good job and thanks!

[@jonstothfang3800]

a quick Math Reminder for Rex: 50% abv whiskey is 10 percentage POINTS higher than 40%, but it actually has 25% more alcohol in it, which makes a considerable difference in the potency.

[@CameronLestagez]

wow good point, they just released it as a main stay in their line up today, im excited, only $12 higher,im in love with it

[@lukewo5067]

Wow what a time 2020! These videos of them apart will time stamp 2020 forever

[@Zeonnz]

I've been sitting on a bottle of this for over a year. Perfect time to crack it open and taste it with you guys.

[@THEPHYSICALSPIRIT]

How do you sit on a bottle?

[@djdragongod]

Here's to fighting, smelling, and drinking! If you fight, may you fight a friend of a linebacker. If you smell, may you smell a lover's fart. If you drink, may you be able to taste it after your nose gets broken.

[@MrLawjet]

My whiskey of choice is Jack Daniels no 7. I have seen many of your videos and I don’t think either of you have mentioned going on the Jack Daniels distillery tour. I went on the tour last year and it was so cool that it changed my out look on whiskey. At the end they give you a taste of several versions of the single barrel to try. It was so much fun I went again the next month with some family members. Fun fact Jack Daniels is distilled in a dry county, Moore co. They do not sell whiskey there. The state does allow them to sale commemorative bottles they give you the Jack inside for free. There first place that explained the notes you fine when you drink whiskey.

[@RyanErland]

Regular Jack Daniels used to be 45% abv. I wonder if Rex's comment about it being designed for 40% is true, but it's actually for 45%.

[@matthewmorin7016]

When I started drinking jack it was 86 proof. Still wish they didn't drop the proof to 80.

[@jestucker2268]

I always recall Jack being labeled at either 86 proof, or 90 proof... I think the 90 proof was dropped in the late 1980's, then it dropped to 86, then in the early 2000's they dropped it to 80 proof...

[@lorigagliano8384]

I miss when it was 45%abv had my first taste of it at 13 years old the bottle looked completely different than how it does today everything from the color to smell was completely different truly good stuff

[@lorigagliano8384]

@@matthewmorin7016 when I was 13 years old tried it from he 70s or 80s when it was 90 proof my suggestion to you is try the rye or legacy edition. As well it may be like your 86 proof my legacy edition number 2 actually is 86 proof flat

[@charlesmartel9502]

Yep, JD black label was 90 proof in the '70s and early '80s, then backed down to 86 proof, before they finally dropped it to 80. For at least part of that time, there was a lower-proof version with a green label.

[@treykress5890]

Just found your channels and love them. Ive been starting my own whiskey journey and am greatly enjoying while bringing my wife bro and friend along with lol. I like that your videos are both entertaining and informative at the same time, keep up the great work. Unfortunately for me Im in a small town, 6000, so I have to wait for trips to larger cities to pick some things up such as Angels envy which im super excited for. I had a question though. My wife is not really a huge whiskey fan but absolutely looooves the peach and apple crown royal. She says all the others wev tried so far all taste the same with a lot of alcohol. I respectfully disagree. What other whiskeys can I find that would be more to her liking considering what she does like? Keep up the great work guys!!

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Trey Kress try a smoky scotch like Laphroaig or Ardbeg. It will definitely be different to the bourbons you have had 👍

[@LazerBear42]

"Do you think the locks on your office are that hard to pick?" I want a crossover video where you invite Deviant Ollam to break into the Whiskey Vault.

[@Terry12345]

Sounds like the perfect on the rocks whiskey.

[@fiendishfez]

I picked up a bottle of this on my honeymoon cruise in the at sea duty free shop. I'm not a JD fan but my neighbor swears by it and at $25 for a 1L bottle I couldn't pass it up. I was quite impressed by it and it stands up to some single barrel JD releases I've tried. Sure wish I could find it on the reg. At that price, I'd sip this all day long.

[@Theaussiemixer]

I'm happy with your review of jd bonded ive been wanting to try this for a while

[@DDugger]

"Designed to be at 40%" You're probably correct on that one Rex, but I think there's an exception... Never been much of a Jack fan. But I have to say the single barrel barrel proof is a damn fine whiskey.

[@devildog83191]

It is my favorite Jack as well.

[@mojoelite]

Never designed to be at 40%. Just Jack stretching supply and lessening quality. Agree the barrel proof is pretty awesome:)

[@Edmondson_Avenue]

It was designed to be at 45%, 40% was originally the green label, now it's the Black label, this ain't the same whiskey Nathan "Nearest" Green created, this is a mass production cheap whiskey, I still like it but I bet Frank Sinatra could tell the difference if he was still here, companies are always trying to overcharge for less quality!

[@ryanmcnew1220]

I had sinus surgery, now one nostril has a large intake while the other side is still the same size. I get a whole different experience between the two sides!

[@micklethepickle5934]

Your story sounded like it should have been in an 80’s movie

[@paladonis]

In Morgan Freeman voice "It was then that Rex met his Spirit Eagle. That beating he took made him realize that Mooching things from other might be easier then getting punched in the face."

[@mijoeb336]

As I’m sure most know Jack was historically 90 proof. It was interesting how much you liked the 100 proof with a little water. Makes me think mixing the 80 proof with the 100 proof might be a close flavor profile of pre 1987 Jack.

[@jonstorm1484]

It use to be OVER 95%???!?!?!?!!!?

[@wp2746]

I’m just glad no powertool was used in this episode to fix any nose holes.

[@ozpilot8083]

I travel a lot (well used to two months ago) and always picked this up at airports. Its a great drop.

[@ohslowpoke4720]

I got the jack single barrel, barrel proof and it's amazing. Absolutely stunning. Too bad I live in Canada and now that it's sold out it's gone

[@ohslowpoke4720]

Oh and that stuff is at 64 percent

[@tacticalhermit]

I've been wanting to get my hands on this whiskey for over a year!

[@brentandersen2208]

I've watched a lot of your top bourbon videos and have learned a lot. I'm now trying to get in to scotch. Can you guys make more best entry level scotch videos. I can't find and scotch list videos from you guys. Thanks for all the great content

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

I’ve made a few. Let me know if they help. But there were a few the whisky tribe did where they introduced people to whisky that were quite good.

[@notthebrent420]

Would a 4 year old 50% abv single barrel bourbon by default be "bottled in bond"? The only thing I see it possibly missing is the federally bonded warehouse but, I just assume all warehouses are.

[@sergantgrunt1650]

I'm commenting to hear the answer

[@chrisloomis4921]

Not all warehouses are federally bonded. On a recent local whiskey tour, they explained the controls the government has on the physical space when bonded. So, that criteria alone would exclude other spirits from being BIB. But, bourbons also have to be from the single distiller and from one season too.

[@kryptonson]

I've been trying to get my hands on that stuff for a while. You can only get them at the stores in international airports. Darn hard to get.

[@hobbs2005]

What just happened at 6:55 ??

[@HIIMPIEZ]

Have you guys ever had the Travellers Edition of Glenfiddich? If you haven't, next time I go to Mexico and back through Austin I'll see about dropping off a bottle & getting a tour of your place!

[@matthewmorin7016]

I have a love/hate relationship with Jack. I like it a lot as a go to but wish they didn't down proof the black lable from 86 to 80.

[@chrismorin1047]

Same, but mine has more to do with one night at a bar when I lost count after 4 double Jack & Cokes. In my defense, the band was very good and my girlfriend is hot.

[@Thebigperson797]

Give Evan Williams a shot. Lot cheaper than jack, 86 proof, tastes about the same as jack. Maybe even a little more complex imo

[@daltonv5206]

@@Thebigperson797 I've always like evan over jack. The evan williams bib is way better

[@smknochs1]

I picked up the new 700 mL bottle of JD BiB a couple months ago and while I was initially not a fan, I definitely warmed up to it as I worked my way through the bottle. The greater tannin presence is certainly noticeable but I'm not really getting the bitterness on the finish. Over the months the sharp banana on the nose has given way to a softer banana pudding with Nilla wafers and the on the palette what was a strong bananas foster has evolved into chocolate covered bananas sprinkled with nuts. Will absolutely buy again.

[@nocturn2501]

That random note “Science” made me laugh out loud.

[@TehRealCanadarocker]

Its funny they said it gets more interesting after having a mild reduction in proof since JD Single Barrel offering is bottled at 47% abv/94 proof.

[@jamesmclay9075]

Love it, such a good story, also I found myself in duty free the other day staring at the JD BIB really tempted. Really tempted. I got the things that were on sale instead but still. Damn.

[@DCeternio]

@Daniel do you have a Brora in your special cabinet and would you do a review of it (alright the mooch can can have a sip too)

[@maartenhimself]

What is a good bourbon to drink? I appreciate any help and thoughts. Laphraoig and Kilchoman are my favorite brands atm, but I'm curious if there is a nice wooden bourbon. I live in The Netherlands btw.

[@maartenhimself]

Guinea Pig ah super bedankt! Ik ga deze whiskeys opzoeken. En leuk om een landgenoot op deze channel te zien! (Ervanuitgaande dat je in NL woont?)

Guinea Pig , Nikka Coffey Grain Single Malt heb ik laatst nog opgemaakt. Maar uitgezonderd van de Nikka, een Jameson en een Glenrothes (speyside) heb ik praktisch alleen Islay whiskys gehad. Dus ik dacht.. Tijd voor iets anders! Dus ik ben blij met jouw aanraders. :)

[@stefanschwalenberg8320]

Rex/Daniel/all you MBs...Just recently made the jump from cocktails to whiskey neat/OTR/with water. I love me some bourbon, especially wheated varieties, on its own. Rye, however, is a different story, as it always seems to set my tongue ablaze . I find this very odd and frustrating since some of my favorite cocktails are rye based (scofflaw anyone?) Any suggestions for a relatively low proof, training wheels rye to start me down this path?? Thanks much.

Gregg Collins it’s the person responsible of the final flavour of the whiskies a distillery produces. Generally they are the ones who make the shots on how the whisky will be uniquely made at their distillery

[@greggcollins4215]

@@FirstPhilWhisky I under stand what a Master Distiller is. What I was wondering is does the bottled in bond law requires that it be any Master distiller working at that distillery or does it specify one individual? I guess the next question is how Master Distillers might be employed any a distillery?

[@grantfergo5055]

Also the nose uses different parts of the olfactory sense, to smell different smells. Plain English some smells are better smelled in the front part of the nose and some are better smelled in the back of the nose. The nostrils will often switch back and forth between breathing in air deeply while the other breathes more shallowly so as to give you the best ability to distinguish more scents.

[@anthonycampbell4130]

Nerd time - Why the right nostril? As an EMT, we are taught to first attempt to insert a NPA (Nasopharyngeal airway) in the right nostril because "The right nostril is often preferred for NPA insertion given that it is typically larger and straighter than the left." This may not be true for someone who has been punched on the nose, but it is true for most people. So, maybe, larger and straighter equates to a better sense of smell. I guess size does matter?

So Bottled in Bond JD's on the rocks (or on a rock) would be a nice option! Gonna try and find it in parochial Arkansas. So many brands/types are not available to us here, nor is the ability to shop on-line. And the liquor taxes are much too high. I make a run to Branson or Springfield, Missouri twice a year as a result. Hey, Governor Hutchinson! A lot of people are drinkers in this state (not necessarily drunks, mind you, but appreciators of liquor!), and we WILL spend our money in Texas, Oklahoma, or Missouri to get our liquor at more reasonable prices and with better selections.

OK, I am sitting here with my wife listening to your Jack 100 show talking about the difference in your smell interpretation between right and left nostril. You mentioned you smell things better in the right. She said you might want to get your nose checked for a possible deviated septum. She is an Otolaryngologist and usually pretty accurate. She also started singing Aqualung although she said snot was coming from both sides of his nose since the song didn't tell use.
