I had to wait 22 whole minutes for Dillon to say "stewed fruit"!!!
I legit had to rewind to make sure my eyes didn’t deceive me when it said “genital jack.” 😂😂😂😂
same lol
Same
Jack was the whiskey that got me into Bourbon, so I really enjoyed this drink through.
I don't care what anyone says, the Barrel Proof is by far the best value in the world, THE BEST whiskey you can walk in and buy off the shelf and one of the best whiskeys there is. I will take it all day long over ECBP. The Single Barrel Select is damn good as well.
I agree with Dillon! I am glad that you covered the gold and Sinatra version. Of all the Jack, I only have the Jack SBDP on my bar. I love the way it coats the tongue with long finish. It is an outstanding whiskey for the $69 price tag. Now you need to do a blind JD SB BF, EC BP, and Stagg Jr.
Surprised you didn’t get heavy banana note on the nose with the barrel proof. So good
Haha “genital jack”. I was rolling
Do a Barrel Proof blind taste test! Jack, EC, Stagg Jr and maybe one or two more.
I started my whiskey journey with gentleman Jack, the old no. 7 was too harsh. Now many many years later, the single barrel barrel proof is my go to. Lol.
thanks for the DrinkThrough. I wanted to try the gold and the Sinatra, I will hold out for the barrel proof.
Enjoyed the drink through but the only Jack for me is the Barrel Proof
“Stewed fruit”... I’ve never been able to find a flavor or aroma in any bourbon of stewed fruit. It’s a true Dillonism.. and the ‘jam’ . Huge fan of the JDSBBP... might be the best barrel proof bourbon for the money that is findable. I really like the Sinatra edition.. I picked it over a Old Fitz 9 yr in a tasting. Great stuff fellas!!
I have to agree that Gentleman Jack is definitely kidney filtered. Don't buy at any price. Also, agree that the barrel proof is really good. I wouldn't say it's the best whiskey in it's price range, but it's definitely worth the money and it's different enough from others that it's worth having in your collection.
I have never tried the Sinatra or the Gold and I'm glad that I watched this video before buying those. I was seriously thinking about it, but the price per proof point made me hesitate.
Finally found where you guys went .thank God
I agree JD7 and JDBP are the 2 must haves. JD7 is the ultimate classic. You can sip neat throughout the night, you can add a cube and it's basically a mixed drink. Jack and Coke, forget about it... iconic! Jack and Coke has always been my concert, casino, club go to. Weirdly I am so tuned into Jack and Cokes that I can taste the difference in a JD7 and a Heritage more in a Jack and Coke than I can neat. The JDBP... Stagg Jr 12 and JDBP are the two best barrel proofs I have ever had. I find a lot like EC and 4 roses to be spicy, whereas JD and Stagg Jr. bring the caramel, vanilla, chocolate, cream.
Bought a bottle of Gentleman Jack at Costco about a year ago and thought it was great! Since then I have been tasting some of the other CP recommendations as well as other picks I found. What a difference a year makes--it now ranks near the bottom of the following I have tried:
early on and still a favorite: Knob Creek 9 year old, great body, taste and finish--maybe not as refined as those below but a good value
Knob Creek 12 year old-just terrific
Old Forester regular bottle--just great and a bargain price
Old Forester 110-now one one my big favorites
Old Forester 120-great but still prefer the 110
Do wild turkey and russels next!
Didn't realize you guys had a new channel, glad I found it!
Man another great Drinkthrough! The effort and professional opinions here are kinda mind blowing 🤯
Keep up the great content guys. Get your hands on that rye!!!!
Love the barrel proof. Try putting a few drops of water, really opens it up.
Definitely would have liked to see the 94% single barrel select in here but understand that single barrel's are sometimes inconsistant.
Wish the single barrel select had made it in. Best 30 dollar bottle out there.
I think the Gentleman Jack is supposed to appeal to those who are new or want to mix Jack and coke with a more subdued whiskey flavor. However, I think it should be higher ABV then the regular Jack Daniels for the price. Awesome drink through guys, cheers!
Thanks for this one. After boycotting JDs for a decade, I bought the single barrel (and enjoyed it and a special release Montechristo with the video), I have to rethink my position on the brand. 'Can't wait to get the SB barrel proof.
Love me some of that barrel proof. I've noticed it going up in price here in massachusetts :(
Great review! I prefer the single barrel select 40.00, bonded 28.00, and triple mash 32.00 over these. Nice job
In Ohio Sinatra is $149.99 so that’s a hard pass
SBBP is by far the best JD in the regularly available line. I know it doesn't happen in Drinkthroughs, but I would've liked to see some blending of the Gold and Sinatra. See if you can add the Gold's finish to the Sinatra's 'kick'.
Did anyone else catch the "Genital Jack" transition? 🤣
Nice show, thx. You guys should definitly try the Jacky Bottled-in-Bond. Of course it doesn't come near the Barrel Proof, which I like a lot.
But it is solid, flavourful, has a strong Brown Foreman banana and a respectable finish.
My taste buds are biased, I just don't like old number 7, and Maker's 46 is super good with Coke, and I rarely mix my bourbon with anything anyways :P
Really enjoyed the video! The Sinatra Select is one of my favorite JD's.
That Jack Daniels Single Barrel, Barrel Proof is AMAAAAZING!!!!! it is the only bottle I will buy other than the original just for mixing.
There’s a brand of Canadian whiskey called Collingwood that is finished in maple wood. Guess who owns that brand? Yep, Brown Forman. The Jack Daniel’s Gold Edition is more than likely the follow-up to that one.
The JD line is forked. Along one branch is the stuff for our "crowd." The JDSB & JDSBBP as well as the other special editions in the "Pagoda" shaped bottles. But then for us line extensions are an additive process. More age, more wood finishes, more proof, etc. equals challenging and interesting. For a lot of more casual consumers, line extensions are actually about increasing refinement, ultimately a subtractive process. They are looking for "smoother" more drinkable and user friendly upgrades along their branch, from the base No.7. Less burn, less spikey flavors, less challenge. Like the GJ & No. 27. We think it taste like water. They want it to go down like water. That doesn't make them wrong, they're just not in our end of the pool. The Sinatra is firmly in the Celeb Spirits category for me though. It just doesn't suck the way most of those bottle do.
JD SiB BP can compete with some of the best out there imo.
I recently found a 50ml sample pack which had JD 7, Gent Jack, and JDSB Select (plus two flavored samples). I blinded the three I mentioned and GJ came in dead last with JD7 coming in second and the JDSB Select winning that blind. But it was closer than thought for 1st and 2nd.
Out of curiosity, are you guys says “flower” or “flour” on the nose and palate? I’m not getting either spelling, but could probably see the floral side of flower over the grain notes of flour... but still, I don’t get either really.
In this case we were referring to a floral ("flower") component.
Cheers!
@@CuriosityPublic gotcha!... when I first heard it, I thought “flour” and was “yo, I suck at tasting notes ‘cause I’m not getting any flour or grain”... but then I thought “maybe they mean floral,” to which I could see the sweet floral notes a lot easier.
Jack and coke (Coca Cola) ...and David Lee Roth with Van Halen... bought a No7 over X-mas... getting more whiskey experience since...high school...No7 is nasty now.
Great drink through fellas! JDSBBP is a great pour! Cheers!🥃👍🇺🇸
What about the single barrel select that was all over Costco? Where would that rank among these?
Agree with the ranks and the shot at the Dickel’s was cute in a grade school, I’ve never grown up way.
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof is easily above most Larceny/ECBP for me. There are a few batches, like the Larceny B523, that really bring it but overall I'd take the JD. JD SBBP are usually cheaper in my area and far easier to find ($60 and available vs $70-80 and occasionally available). The JD SBBP's are underrated by most bourbon aficionados since they aren't considered "allocated" by most stores or buyers. If people caught on to how good the JD SBBPs are then they would quickly jump to $80-100 and be impossible to find. Similar to how the JD SBBP's are trending right now.
Can we maybe get an updated drinkthough with the bonded series and select barrels & ryes
? (exclude the gold and genital hahaha)
no single barrel select?
Would love to see you guys do a drink through with 4: the barrel proof whiskey and rye, and the sib select whiskey and rye. I recently found some sib select store picks with bottling date of 2013 in the older discontinued bottles and they was delicious, like Coca Cola concentrate, albeit a short finish.
You should review the three new bonded Jacks.
No, Sinatra edition, I passed on it at $170. Not worth it.
Another great Drank-thru!
I never been a big fan of Jack. Old No7 is ok, it is fine, I can sip it. I was sipping the BP as I was watching this and have to say I don't think it is that great either. It is a good value for a BP , but I don't get all the hype I have heard about it. I do think it would be a great mixer. I might have to pickup a coke just to try it out.
I have an episode idea. Call it "How to not pour whiskey, featuring Dutch" and then its just cuts of Dutch pouring the whiskey all over the table instead of the glass. The video may be a bit too long.
The "Dutch spills supercut" would be hilarious!
The legacy bottles at 86proof (which they really should just bottle Old No.7 at again) have become a cheap go-to sipper for me. Sinatra Select tastes good but based on when Sinatra was around he just drank Old No.7 bottled at 90 proof. The extra ribs in the barrel and fancy packaging are simply a marketing ploy to get people to overpay for it. I'll stick with the SiBs for high-end JD. Another great Drinkthrough(tm) though!
Thanks for this review. I almost bought the 27 Gold just because of the cool box and didn't pay attention to the low proof. Definitely a hard pass now
I thought the Sinatra at one time was only available in Duty Free stores. In SEA DF it was over $400 us. Yeah, a few years ago. In Vancouver BC DF airport it was something like 170 CAN, so less, and I bought two, one for a buddy who’s a Jack fan. We’re going to drink them together, so, they are unopened. 175 on sale at supermarket. 80 for the 375 at a liquor store. Doesn’t sound alike it beats the sbbb... taste and price...
I got a bottle of gentleman Jack as a present and remember being rather unimpressed
Does jam = stone fruit for Dillon?
stone fruit describes a specific flavor group while "fresh," "ripe," "stewed," and "jam" describe the quality of that flavor profile. Like an apple has a different flavor from a peach. And likewise a fresh peach has different aspects of the flavor highlighted versus a stewed peach. hope that makes sense!
@@CuriosityPublic - that is a great explanation and super helpful. Maybe I should test with some fruit to see how this tastes with real food. Get a fresh apple, a ripe apple, stew an apple, and apple jam, and see how it changes.
I know I am super sarcastic with you guys and especially Dillon but I really appreciate the channel and the reviews. If you guys are ever in Denver I would love to link up.
Cheers! We love some good sarcasm!
Amazing
Me jack Daniel's biggest fan 🇺🇸👍
i've always found that john daniels was the superior drink over jackie walker. not only do i prefer it to scotch whiskey,
tennessee bourbon also just tastes better than kentucky whisky. i say, screw the wilkes-booth country process!
JDSBBP vs. Stagg sr....I bet Dillon may have a tough time
Buy or pass Mitchers barrel strength rye for $120?
Can you buy it for less? If not and you want it, there's your answer.
Disclaimer: unless you really can't afford it.
@@pumpedupdart6859 I try not to pay 2nd market prices or add to the problem.
@@czrs85 I get that, but if it's something I'm never going to find and it's not a crazy amount I'll pay it. A $40 markup to me is just a finders fee/service I'd pay to avoid driving everywhere hoping to run into it. Especially where I live, everything popular is marked up at least 10% at booze stores. As long as there's not enough of the great stuff to go around it's going to demand a higher price just like anything else. When you're talking about crazy mark ups like Pappy I think not paying secondary might eventually work, but avoiding a $20 to $50 markup isn't going to change anything and for people like me that don't have a chance at some bottles for retail we'll suffer.
@@pumpedupdart6859 I don't mind paying that extra $20 at mom & pops, but this was not that kind of store.
“Genital Jack”
JD was still 90 pf. when Sinatra drank it.
I can now only call a jack Daniels comparison or dink though a "Jack Off"
Can you add timestamps to make skipping around easier?
Does anyone know what happened to the butcher of Backersfield?
went crazy, fired upon starving citizens peacefully protesting. currently doing time
I’ve asked this multiple times with no real reply. Is this a serious reply?
@@ttcheeser yes, serious question, I have no idea, I was just wondering
Sorry James, I was responding to the reply you received, because I have asked what happened to the Butcher several times and nobody will reply.
Filtering? Same detriment in tequila filtering of an anejo into a Cristalino. Strips away the flavor and the character.
The barrel proof is good everything else they put out is a pass for me. I feel what JD is good at is marketing and printing labels. Most of the line up is just the same as the bottom shelf old no7 at slightly different proof and with a different label on the bottle and higher price tag.
A pretty container does not a good whiskey or bourbon make 🥴
Old no 7 is trash. Sorry
