Also, the editor learns not to miss f-bombs for fear of flogging.

[@luisnegron4590]

That bleeping cork sound never gets old. You guys are awesome.

[@debuller8421]

I went an extra 2 days without whisk(e)y and that's a really hard thing since I work security at a Casino. I deal with drunks nightly and really need a drink every so often after work. I wanted to wait to drink with the Whiskey som and mooch! Love the show and can't wait to visit the distillery in the near future!

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

We had a chance to sit down with Jimmy Bedford and taste from a few barrels, while interviewing him - it was a great day!

[@ericnix4396]

Glen & Friends Cooking that sounds amazing; I’d love to read the interview sometime. Where might one find that madness?!?🧐

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

@@ericnix4396 I won't post the link but if you look up "Tasting Jack Daniel's With Master Distiller Jimmy Bedford" here on YT you'll find part of it. This was 2008 and we hadn't yet figured out this KZbin thing, so quality is a bit iffy. There was a multi-part series where Jimmy walked us around the distillery, but sadly KZbin 'lost' it. Somehow a lot of those early videos are gone.

[@Misfit_Custom]

Best ending toast by far. I was waiting for a steady tone to just kill all the audio.

[@sarahgiggles9444]

I was trying and failing so desperately to not laugh out loud at the final toast while watching this at work. Well done!

[@darrenpellichino2923]

I was a JD hater when I first started to enjoy whiskey for the taste, I assumed it was watered down and something to avoid. I recently bought JD black for budgeting purposes and was surprised at how much flavor Jack Daniels packs into 80 proof whiskey. Lesson is that if lots of people like it, it's probably good.

[@wingracer1614]

It really is good stuff. No it's not super complex but it's one of the most easy drinking whiskies ever. And it goes great with coke. I love an Ardbeg or Red Breast but if it's a party and I just want to drink, JD gets it done.

[@brett_vannatta]

I went to the bookstore and bought a thesaurus today. When I got home all the pages were blank. I have no words to describe how angry I am.

[@Cionaoith]

I'm pretty sure I made a guy mad once by asking for help with Roman numerals. All I did was ask if he knew what 999, 54, and 499 were, and he slowly spelled out "IM LIV ID." I decided it was best to just back away and ask someone else.

Thanks for introducing me to Scotch. My dad got me a bottle of Monkey Shoulder and I enjoy it a lot.

[@cannistershot2277]

The Gateway Scotch... That's how I started out a year ago, and now I'm travelling to Scotland in May for a week of sightseeing and distillery tours.

[@BigChimpEnergy]

Monkey Shoulder is an excellent starting point. It was my first as well. If you want something a little more complex, but not too challenging I would recommend Highland Park 12 Viking Honour.

[@vibrationalkeys3320]

i just got my first monkey shoulder recently, awe! also have a johnnie double black scotch. but, this minute i am sippin bulleit bourbon! cheers

[@CDCrest]

When Rex asked if they wanted to go blind, my first thought was the two of them slamming back both of those bottles.

[@jonathanratliff1501]

I actually love the blind tasting quizzes, not boring at all, feel free to do more of them and put Daniels "prefessional" palette to the test.

[@christopherannon7691]

Dont know what I missed more...my whisk(e)y or you guys! Welcome back! Now on with the shenanigans!

[@egoTheJudge]

The fact that they said nothing about what's in the bottle should really impress marketing guys. I mean, here you are not only drinking the whiskey, but featuring it to 262k viewers. Well done Jack Daniels.

[@nicholaspage5593]

That was the best toast ever... My co-workers are wondering why I am belly laughing while eating my lunch... Well done fellas.

[@highaltitudescalemodeling9528]

Here is one thing I didn't hear you mention gentlemen, Regular Jack is 40% and the Master Distillers series is 43% so a small difference should be noticeable. Great show!

[@migthulhu]

Proper ending for a Jack Daniel's video. When I was in the Army we chased it with Milwaukee's Best.

[@my1lastword]

Not sure about the no6 but I have (or had...) a bottle of Master Distiller's No3 and it was a nice bourbon profile straight out of the bottle but adding even a few dashes of water it instantly became the Jack Daniel's taste I've always remembered (holding opinion to myself on that...). Interested to see if others have had similar experiences opening up the Master Distiller series or proofing down some of the other bottles?

[@henrysseptictankservice4585]

I just got a barrel proof bottle of JD. Yet to crack it and try, maybe you guys could. Love your content by the way. It’s hard to get some of the bottles you sample here in NZ.

[@maxx8362]

If this was the first shoot of the day, then the next couple videos are going to be a little more... interesting than usual.

[@newbprepa]

Hey Rex and Daniel I’ve been saving a bottle of compass box phenomenology for the day that my daughter was born. well that day has come as of 6/02/20🥳. I was wondering if you can make a toast in Celebration of my little girl Luna Marie Chirinos. Ps. Phenomenology is one good whiskey. Every time I go back to It I find something new.

[@danielwilliams7925]

Congratulations,

[@windowdoog]

Of course you had to back door your first actual regular Jack review through a collectors edition label.

[@mariodesmo]

Okay, saw your review earlier today and just went out and bought some this afternoon. Now for my own taste test! :-)

[@waynegutschmidt7586]

the bleeping made my day. I couldn't stop laughing.

[@rootufi]

🤣🤣🤣that outro tho I have a bottle of jack no.5 and a regular bottle of jack, I've done a side by side. Maybe it was psychosomatic but I did feel there was a small difference. Definitely not a overwhelming change, but a bit sweeter? Maybe it's just the small difference in what barrels it's being selected from or how its blended?

[@rekoobnad187]

I was able to get a small bottle of classic finished in red wine barrels. I really enjoyed it. Only found at the distillery

[@ericnix4396]

So I noticed the bottle for the video is Master Distiller No. 1 bottle which is not the Master Distiller No. 6 bottle that is being reviewed 🧐 Does that mean you have some of the Master Distiller Series in the vault and are waiting for JDMD 1-5 to arrive?!? Thanks for everything you guys do; keep up the good work 🤪🥃🧔🏽

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

I typically avoid Jack Daniels for personal history reasons, my Aunt would have JD over ice when she was alive every holiday dinner I can remember. This was long before I got interested in whiskey and did solidify the "older person" drink. After her passing we had some JD in her honor, and I don't think I have drank any ever since. I only wish I had been able to sip some whiskey with her when she was alive, and every time I see a JD bottle I find myself thinking of her. Maybe this year is the time for me to return to JD and see what sort of interesting flavors they bring to my collection. It also seems JD brings out the fire in both Rex and Daniel at the end of the video!

[@ericnix4396]

KillCo become a Tennessee Squire in her honor 🧔🏽

[@Old_SnakeTwitch]

Didnt JD used to be bottled at 43%? I figure they are paying homage to that when it comes to taste?

[@negakega8764]

Thank you so much for reviewing! Lot of people hate Jack. But jack alone, neat in my opinion is one of the greatest whiskeys. There are still so many great options out there. Daniels is just a taste I could drink every day if I’m not careful :) some people get what I’m talking about, some people don’t. Those who do are the blessed ones Hah! Love the channel btw!

[@jic1]

I think a lot of people hate Jack Daniels for the same reason that they hate Jim Beam: they are basic, safe, ubiquitous. And they are. But they are also quality products. I haven't bought either for a while (at least not the standard versions) because I'd rather buy whiskies I haven't tried yet, but it's hard to go wrong with either.

[@negakega8764]

jic1 I totally get that, I used to be like that too, I could never get the same whiskey, always had to try a new one. I found Jack to be my comfort whiskey, something I always return to if I venture off to far into the whiskey world. Yah know what I mean?

[@toddswain7459]

We need a special toast to end dry week. It always feels like an Accomplishment to make it to the end.

[@ericnix4396]

Todd Swain that was a pretty special toast 😂🤣😭

[@prestonlaye654]

I’ve had 1,2,3 and currently have 6. Haven’t opened it yet I got it as a gift. But I’m from Texas. You can find some at liqourama in Fort Worth. But 1 and 2 I got at a liquor store in bowling green KY a few years back. Haven’t seen it since.

[@ConcaCon]

I love this edition. The rock candy, maple syrup notes are just right up my alley. The No.5, for contrast, is super peppery.

[@patrose7742]

So, here’s the deal. I think I may have made a mistake. Until recently, the only scotch I have ever had is Monkey Shoulder which I thoroughly enjoy. I’ve never had a peated scotch until I bought a bottle of Glenfiddich Fire & Cane. All I can say is, I was completely taken aback by the nose and palate. All I am getting on both is smokey brisket, rubber, and band aids. The butterscotch/toffee notes are buried under everything else. Should I keep drinking the bottle hoping that I can eventually break through the strong peatiness and not feel like I wasted $45, or should I just stick to my bourbons and ryes?

[@jic1]

It might be worth leaving it for a few days, then going back to it. If you still don't like it, then maybe you just don't like it. In which case, give the rest away to a friend, mix it with coke, soak a fruitcake in it - whatever makes you feel you are at least getting something out of it for your money.

[@ericnix4396]

I found all of them on Fine Drams, but I don’t have that amount of cash to get them to you guys. Would you be able to get them to compare them all. I think that they are made to try to represent the Subjective tastes of each distiller preference when they were in charge😎🧔🏽

[@josephdewberry710]

I swear I've seen 1-3 here in the last month just need to remember where. I know they don't have any in the White Rabbit but pretty sure I saw them in Tennessee in the first wet county south of Lynchburg at a mom and pop liquor stop. Next dry day I get looks like I need to go searching for the wet spot.

[@geoffreykoleff2297]

Did I miss it or maybe lost it in the cross talk between Rex and Daniel, but what is the proof on the special edition? I've had the JD Angelo Luchhesi edition a few years back and it was 43-45% I think and a noticeable difference from regular Jack but with the same hallmark flavors, just wondering if maybe proof was accounting for the change here as well.

[@ericnix4396]

Geoffrey Koleff my bottle says 43%.

[@gclar014]

Note to editor: You are re hired

[@mattmckane6741]

Just managed to catch this video. Can't help but think of my Dad who was the first person to get me into whiskey. Sparing you the details, he was killed nearly 8 years ago, and would be turning 67 on March 19th. I'd ask you that raise a glass of JD Single Barrel (the first whiskey he gave me) in his honor, or any JD you may have on hand. Cheers fellas.

[@RUZZUF12]

I only have the master distillers number 5 and cant find the others anywhere.

[@gcbwoods]

I have the number 5 as well but have not located the others at all

[@QnzBound]

I have all 6. They released one every few months to a year apart. Some of the other versions can be found online.

[@2oleaves843]

You guys had a Jay and Silent Bob moment at the end there. Hey Daniel can you do a Beavis impression from Beavis and Butthead? Your perv voice is pretty hilarious too.

[@michaelbartley9678]

Hi whisky tribe I was just thinking about it and wanted to ask how you guys have your whisky shelf’s organized lol

[@amcstryker7]

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned in the comments but as an owner of the fifth edition of these bottles, I think they are all bottled at 43%/86 proof over the standard 40%/80 proof No. 7.

[@SierraAppa]

Ok...I know it might be trivial but I am glad they went back to the previous formatting...intro ect...well done gents...well done

[@reidtowsley5029]

I've had both the no.4 and no.5 and they were very different. No4 was very heavy banana flavour, so much so that my g/f could smell bananas from across the room. Both were more enjoyable than old no.7 and gentleman jack in my opinion.

[@swiftyuras1]

So, watching you guys go back and forth between these two bottles, have you ever found a difference between two bottles of the same whisk(e)y. Like the blender was not on point between 2 batches?

[@Dreoilin]

the bleep with a cork should be a regular thing, its brilliant

[@gazzathefish]

JD No.6 is an ‘expression’ named after James Howard Bedford who served as Master Distiller between 1988 and 2008

Jack is a nice, reliable, find it damn near anywhere whiskey, which isn't a bad thing, necessarily. Kind of like when I was happy to find a McDonald's in Italy, something to be said for finding exactly what you expect to find.

[@NG-ou3iv]

Hey guys, I understood it right? It taste different between no 1 or 2 or other or it all the same? Thanks to hear from you

[@teamspacepirate4081]

The Four Roses single barrel cork is the noisiest cork I have ever come across. That squeaking gives away my going for a second pour, and reminds me of you magnificent bastards every time I open it!

[@txkid1818]

The Master Distiller Series seem to be the same mash bill but bottled at a slightly higher proof. NO.1 at 86 proof ect.

[@FollowingGhost]

Live maybe 20 minutes from Jack Daniels and have worked as a contractor for them. It smells great around the buildings where it is aged and where the barrels are made. Still can't stand the taste of any variety they make but it smells good 😁.

[@benjalowiec7934]

[@musicmymusic2323]

[@kennethhulsebus7194]

What coloring does Jackoff use?

[@BudsCartoon]

They do a bunch of these 86 proof releases. They're all the same. I was going to collect these, but decided to collect the Legacy series instead with all the old labels. It's all regular JD but at the old 43% instead of the new 40%. Not sure if it is the old 4 year aged instead of the new 2 year aged. They sell the green label Legacy at my Total Wine for $11.99 which is had to pass up.

[@shakshikulaka5748]

I stopped Drinking Jack after the 2009 and learnt that they changed master distiller. Definitely changed the taste profile

[@articpigs7294]

from my understanding all their whiskey starts the exact same with the exception of the sinatra which gets the grooves in the barrel, and gentlemen which goes through the charcoal mellow vats twice, about a week each. everything should have the same mash build that they make.

[@jic1]

As Buffalo Trace will tell you, you can make *a lot* of different whiskies from one mash bill.

[@frankmeade3028]

If you haven't tried it yet you should try the Jack Daniels Gold No.27

[@andyhopton]

@@ericnix4396 I haven't opened them tbh, They have done a number of similar releases over the years, I had one of the Scenes from Lynchburg Series which was 43%, I have currently got the Legends No1 and 2 (which are recreations of some of the original labels) they are also 43%, which I have opened as I bought a few when they were on offer and to me its basically a marketing gimmick for idiots like me that have a JD shelf and collect, also they did a White Rabbit Saloon And Red Dog Saloon which were also 43%
