[@cftw5160]

Is it worth the price?

[@Hercules1-v9m]

@@cftw5160 Not really. It's basically just regular Jack in fancy packaging. Doubt you can find it today anyway. It was a limited run.

[@efrainSRT]

@@Hercules1-v9m no you can still find it i just ordered mine last week, for $130 it was on sale

[@freelancespartan]

I bought this when me and a couple of my friends reenlisted. We each bought a bottle for ourselves right after. We break it out for special occasions. We're obsessed

Being a Sinatra fan and a whiskey drinker, my wife surprised me with this bottle for my 39th birthday, but with the caveat that I couldn't drink it until my 40th birthday. I really enjoyed it and shared it among many, but have yet to buy another bottle in the past three years simply because the price isn't quite worth it for the taste.

[@xvrit]

Honesty rules!!!

[@xyangetsuga6747]

I’m glad this review was done. My first whiskey was ol no.7, then the second being double black walker, then the Sinatra select as my third & I was sold to whiskey ever since. Not the best whiskey in the world, but got me interested in the manufacturing process/experience that whiskey brings. Great episode

I've had mine for about three years now. I love it but since it was so expensive I only have on special occasions.

[@bmsmusician]

And as the rules says, I put on a Sinatra album while enjoying it. It actually makes the experience better. At least for me since I love Sinatra!

[@mikeholtze]

I got a bottle for doing a welding job for my best friend. It's only a few weeks old to me but I do enjoy the hell out of it and am pouring a small glass now. Cheers and may we all smile as long as we can.

[@markws80]

Sinatra always referred to Jack Daniel as “Daniel’s.” Love that.

[@stopcallingmeshirley]

Sinatra is amazing stuff, and worth it even at $100.

[@622wolves]

Not sure how many times I've been through the Jack Daniel's Distillery, but the first time was in 1976 or 77 and since then I've been there every year for a while then every other year. I lived in the area and have now , moved 11 hours away, but will take my son there for sure. I love Single Barrel and am a fan of Gentleman jack. Old No. 7 not so much, but have been wanting to try the Sinatra, but of course was concerned about the price (y) bottle. Reckon I will just stick with the single barrel. Keep up the good work guys, love this channel. Paladin of Whisky has my vote.

[@Anthony69420]

I work a night shift and always feel slightly dirty drinking in the morning. I always explain to the grocery store lady i work a night shift lol

I had the opportunity to sample this one on a trip to Lynchburg a couple summers ago. I definitely enjoyed it.

[@thewhiskycouch7886]

Awesome job!! Cheers to Sinatra - loved that background story 👏🥃!!

[@romangerard1326]

I remember the first time I tried this stuff. I was walking to the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and stopped by the Gordon Ramsay Pub for lunch and they had a bottle on the top shelf. Best whiskey I ever tried

[@tommyperkins5191]

JD Sinatra has a special barrel with 1/4 notches grooved into the barrel in circles all the way down the insides before firing. This greatly increases surface area for whiskey to penetrate the wood and gives the deeper flavor. Got a bottle last year when I took the tour.

[@meesternibbles]

At what point do you guys just start saying "Welcome to the Nathan Huey Whiskey Vault!!!"?

[@TehAdrenalinePickle]

The Nathan Huey Memorial Whiskey Vault: We know he's not dead, but does that really matter?

[@TheJamesHollingshead]

Probably after they pickle him in a cask of whisk(e)y after his own pickling of his insides from other casks of whisk(e)y. They'll have the cask, Nathan Huey and all, sitting in the middle of the room and that will be what they rest their glasses upon for the videos

[@zacharyhowlett8325]

@@TheJamesHollingshead they should make a dedicated cask to him kinda like the van winkle barrels only the best of the best should be considered the Huey casks

Looking at this in the future, I love why you guys decided to do monetized.

[@efrainSRT]

I love the sinatra select, at first i just bought it for the fancy box lol to add to my alcohol collection, but when i tasted the sinatra select it was definitely good and havent had a regular jack daniels since, ive owned 3 already they are pricy though

[@Firesword534]

Last December I had to go in for open heart surgery. About a week prior to heading to the hospital I invited a bunch of my paramedic co-workers out to one of our local watering holes. They gave me a bottle of Sinatra Select that night. Sometimes it pays to be the whiskey guy at work. The surgery went great and I'm still enjoying the bottle they gave me that night.

[@locdasmoke]

I found this for $109 and I'm wondering, is it worth that price or should I get the JD Single Barrel for half the price.

[@GMRay739]

Whether my inner snob wants to admit it or not, Jack Daniel's was the first whisk(e)y I ever tried. Long before I ever knew anything about anything, and consumed with coke. It was my gateway to all things bourbon and scotch! And you know what? I still have a soft spot for it! Jack and Coke on a hot summer evening... nothing to complain about there!

[@jwalkblue7]

GreenMantaray we all started somewhere. I remember drinking American Honey in high school and appreciating the small amount of bourbon kick at the end. Maker’s was the first bourbon that I really enjoyed and Knob Creek & Coke was my go to for a couple of years. Now I’m working on a bottle of Ocean Aged Cask Strength and my personal favorite, Booker’s (still love that Knob Creek profile). It’s all about the journey man.

[@locdasmoke]

Jack was my introduction too and even though I've tried a whole lot of others that I probably enjoy more, I have a soft spot for JD and try to at least have a bottle of Old No. 7 or Gentleman Jack in my cabinet.

[@vegasart1]

The Sinatra is actually really good. Classic bourbon flavors and like Rex said "cranked up". Too bad it is kinda pricey. I found a bottle on sale for $119. At that price it was worth it.

after finding your channel, i got a few bottles home, a Four Roses (didn't have any ameeeerican whiskey), a monkey shoulder and a peat monster... oh and some of those fancy glasses and a Peruvian rum (ron millonario is so smooth)... and i got a few of the bottles down from the shelve, a bushmills 16 y, a casket strength glengoyne and highland park 12y, my taste-buds salute you... my liver not so much :)

[@CyberSwitchboard]

My favorite Sinatra song to listen to while drinking this is by far Blue Moon. It just gets you in the right mind set to enjoy.

[@BelfryHex]

Epicurious finally did it and released a "Whiskey expert guesses" video, and am disapointed that I didn't see Daniel and Rex's face on it

[@JS-gk9et]

And she friggin owned it. “This is a good scotch to roll outta bed and have with oatmeal.” Awesome.

[@WhiskeyVault]

I know Heather and she’s one of our people to be sure. Read her book if you get a chance!

[@_DJ708]

3 fingers 3 rocks That's how Sinatra enjoyed his Jack. They would have cases of Jack at every show he did and that would be the exclusive whiskey.

[@Fedorevsky]

I heard it was three rocks with two fingers and just a splash of water.

This might be one of them things that only a very few people might ever know the truth to, like the Old No. 7. What was Jack Daniels real reason for the No. 7? LoL.

[@markchalled3976]

Good idea, if you have the original on hand, to check them sip by sip.

[@deacon997]

My lovely wife bought me this and Lagavulin 16 for my birthday this year. Haven't had the heart to open the JD just yet. Great job as always fellas! Oh and btw the Sinatra is 1L hence why it is a larger bottle, just saying. Oh and if you don't settle on Paladin I think you should censor whatever it is you choose to call the next donation level. Doesn't even have to be vulgar, that shit would crack me up, hell change it every time.

[@robideals685]

Would be super rad to see you guys mix one like Jack did and talk about what it tastes like to you.

[@declankonesky38]

I think the whiskey bottle needs to be dramatically raised in the air like a sword (probably upside down bc that's the handle) sort of like thundercats or he man. And obviously paladins would raise swords in triumphant glory

I bought mine awhile back. Haven’t opened it yet.

So if you had to pick between this and the Jack daniels heritage barrel select what would you go with? I have a bottle of the JDHBS and have been contemplating buying the Sinatra but dont know of it's worth the money. If not what would you recommend I get that's in the price range of the Sinatra select

[@Holcombi]

Daniel, have you tried Goslings Family Reserve Old Rum?

[@dmshampton]

Paladin of Whisky is pretty dope. “Knighting” the bottle and a good graphic like the rest would be fitting!

[@wiesty78]

Just caught this video but to touch on your comment of the pan handle, from Dallas to El Paso is pretty flat and remote. If I remember correctly it's about 50-50 desert and plains.

[@Koester95]

Call me dumb... but my wife and I bought a bottle of JD Sinatra select at the distillery for our birthday gift to each other while on vacation in tenn. And that is our sacred bottle that we only drink between the two of us. It is the pinnacle of our whiskey collection At $150. BTW not to be a JD fan boy... But that is the best straight up whiskey we drink on the rocks.

[@captinsnoochieboochie]

Lolol kool your an picked up a bottle myself it didn't make it home,tour was Wednesday flight home sunday empty bottle Sunday morning

[@ThePapabear2012]

I have a bottle of the Sinatra Select and it is a fine representation of JD. It reminds me of Jack I used to buy when it was bottled at a higher proof. Wish they would stop watering it down to 80. But the price is too high. *Even though I paid it*

[@seebass0]

how about the jack daniels sinatra century?

[@rogerwelsh2335]

I just wish jack would make more aged whisky. I have no idea why they don’t since they would make more money from it. If it were not so young it would taste fantastic.

[@mannyo2506]

Great video review.

[@alexguzell2591]

The "VALUE" of the Sinatra is in the box. There is an orange envelope with an invitation to the Jack Daniel's country club. If you golf, $150+ for a round, the bottle is almost free. It's also a 1.0L bottle, not just a larger base.

[@erikevenson4303]

i think that a few drops of whiskey should be poured in a glass and like Richard Paterson does roll it in glass, but instead of throwing it on floor they sprinkle one another with it..

[@cjm0174]

Not a fan of regular Jack but I love this whiskey, I drink over 2 ice cubes and as it slightly melts I pick out different notes with every sip... one glass is a journey man

[@roberthuttle]

Been awhile fella's, I just secured one of these, so, nice job. Salute

[@troubled_vices9076]

Use the bottle like a sword and do a knighting, and do left then right shoulder.

[@crazylooon]

You have to try the Jack Daniels cask strength, it is AWESOME and you'd never guess that if you cut it down to 40% you'd get regular Jack Daniels

[@perkristiansandgren4132]

Got one in my collection cant wait to open it

[@jayjdietrich]

When JD went from 45 to 40, I suffered for over a year. I finally got used to the cheaper swill, but I do feel the urge, from time to time, to revert. I'm not really thrilled with the price, though.

[@bigtony1951]

It was 2 fingers of Jack and one ice cube Legend has it that Jackie Gleason recommended Jack Daniels as a good drink to Frank Sinatra The barrels to make Sinatra jack were modified to have grooves bored into them to get more oak flavor. In Connecticut it was only available in the airport shops when it first came out Now it is pretty much available all over .Best Jack I ever had Tony

[@Packo-eh1cv]

Hey guys! Nice vid. Greetings from Germany!

[@jm-vp4vt]

Take the Angel's share tour at Jack Daniels.. great tour.

[@tjjohnson310]

When drinking many different types of whisky it seems ( to me ) that flavor lingers from pour to pour causing confusion of flavors do yall ever get this if so how do you clean your palate for the next drink

[@MrRaidereric2]

Im not the best reference, but having had regular black label and a shot of this. The sinatra is very citrus from start to finish and lingers way longer. And felt like a secondhand cigar and a lincoln town car - in a good way. Not that what i just said makes sense.

[@zerokidd21]

Blessed are those who can forget. Rex is one of the lucky ones

[@wesoakes]

I did the tour and tasting at the distillery and Sinatra blew everything else out of the water. Tasted like rounded sweet caramel candy. I need another bottle ASAP. This is my favorite bourbon/whiskey. Someone that knows better than me please suggest something better for me to try with caramel/butterscotch flavor profiles.

[@borisidijana]

I have a bottle but haven't opened it! It's too valuable for me to open it. Therefor I will just keep it to look at it and carry on drinking single barrel jack!

[@chris.whiskeysmokexplorer1919]

Look first of all love your videos wish I could come to Texas and try Eleanor. Second of all everyone knows prices are different all over the country over the world. a bottle of Jack a 750 is close to 30 bucks in Jersey not to mention all the other prices that are through the roof. But again you guys rock keep up the good work just wanted to throw my two cents in there! ha ha!

[@BudsCartoon]

I feel like since Jack Daniels went to a lower 80 proof and from 4 years to 2, the craftsmen that work there have urges that need to be fed to make good whiskey. Most people steer towards the single barrels and releases like the Gold and the Sinatra are more of what they probably prefer to make. Sure Old no.7 pays the bills, but it's a mixer to most. How about that Heritage Barrel? Only 200 barrels made. Impossible to find and are being sold on Ebay for $250-$350. It won 2nd best whiskey of the year last year on Whiskey Advocate, and for good reason. For those unfamiliar, it was barreled at a lower proof and the barrels were slow charred to give it a much different, smoother, toasty flavor. It was also stored in a specific spot in their highest altitude warehouse. Have you guys reviewed that? I bought 6 bottles. 1 at retail $60, 2 at $75, 2 at $70 and one at $80. I drank one, traded another for a Weller 12 to a liquor store and am currently sitting on 4. @818BUDS on IG

[@huntman98]

So I decided to buy this 2 days ago not even realizing it was Sinatra’s birthday. I decided to open it tonight. I took a straight shot and now I’m drinking it Frank’s way. I don’t plan on drinking the whole bottle haha. I’ll swap to Single Barrel select after another drink. Cheers y’all!

Probably the best Jack Daniels, but at $200 a bottle I just can't justify it.

It's Texas as in Palo Duro Canyon. You can't expect the entirety of a state that is 700+ miles tall and 700+ miles wide and that encompasses five different climates to all look the same in every spot.

[@ClioSport2016v]

3 fingers whiskey from freshly open bottle, over rocks. One sip and that was it by O'l blue eyes. That is one whiskey I want to buy, I don't care about the price or the quality. "My way" by Sinatra was first song on my wedding so this is something that I have to have
