I think I'm going to like this series. It is so different without Rex, and I love Rex's silliness, but I've always very much appreciated Daniel's seriousness, as well. (I'm way more like Daniel). This was a great video. To the point. Honest. Lovely!
For your next videos, if the Whiskey are reviewing comes in a nice box,like the Glenfiddich sometimes comes in,that'll nice to show the bottle and the box\cover,demonstrate the whole presentation, not just the bottle
I am honestly here for all your videos. I think your more informative and calm delivery is so much more palatable (nothing against Rex, but the goofy isn't my speed)
Seconded!! You were a great duo, but since you had to go separate ways.. you're more my style. As the other chap said, no offence to the other channel, its just not my thing. This is right up my street
Honestly, I would be just fine with Jack Daniels going back to the ACTUAL Old No. 7 mashbill and proof from before their Corporate Overlords screwed that up. Old No. 7 WAS a 90 proof and had more character. It's still available...but as their "tourist brand", the Sinatra Edition. I won't drink Jack. Nor do a lot of other people in TN that I know who KNOW it's not the original. Meanwhile, the corporates just keep making one of the state's heritage products into even more of a dog 'n' pony show. DICKEL FTW, Y'ALL!!!
I hope when the TTB releases their Standard of Identity for American Single Malt as proposed, that someone makes an American malt whisky in the style of Scotch Single Malt. Ex Bourbon casks, all pale malt, 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural color, twice pot stilled, and reasonably priced. I just want that style of whisky without the ridiculous retail prices of malt whisky imported from Scotland. Thanks, Daniel.
Suggestion : You should have an assistant (on camera) select the dram, pour the contents, and cover the bottle with something before you walk in and have the extra contents (box, letters, etc.) on the side covered to allow you a truly blind test. Just a thought. Even if you do not take this suggestions please keep doing you. I (we) appreciate your hard word! Stay safe.
Jack Daniels Twice Barreled Special Release Single Malt 106 proof Oloroso Cask. Released as a limited edition. ???? Why have one at 90 proof travel exclusive and one at 106 allocated?
Why does everyone say it "singlemalt" when it's two words, "single malt?" That's like saying "bigdesk" when what you mean is "big desk." Sorry - I get real pedantic about spoken English. 🙂 10:57 If that's your actual birth date, you're going to be 74, 10 years older than I am. But I thought you were like 10 years *younger* than I am. I think I'm officially jealous. 😂 11:35 I bet you like Balcones' barley whisky then. All I've had is the Lineage - the others are outside my budget - but it is emphatically *not* shy. 🥃
Really??? 40% $100???? I want to love ASM. I think the future is pretty bright but I'm not spending even $60-80 for a 3 year old 40-45%. They're out there and I don't understand. Some of the dusty bottles I bought over the last few years just taste bad. I want to buy domestic and I know it'll be a sure bet in a few years
Hey Daniel. Followed this channel and the Tribe for about a year? Your videos with Rex seem less and less? Onto something or is that just by chance? Is that by design? Thanks!
I spoke with Chris Fletcher about this 2ish year ago, and he said it was coming out "this year" so it looks like it had been delayed. The travel exclusive bit is a huge disappointment. I save my duty free purchases for Laphroaig Four Oak
I would love to see the return of poor man's blends from Rex week all those years ago. You could also do interesting blends that stand alone. What do ya think?
I unsubbed from the Tribe, but I never unsubscribed from this. This is where I started, being one of the original still 753 original magnificent bastards in that secret social media group we dont mention by name ;)
I practice American penmanship (Palmer, Spencerian, Ornamental Penmanship). This faux "calligraphy/handwriting" font is based on subpar "modern calligraphy". It's a font based on bad "calligraphy", doubly bad. lol
Looking forward to more review-forward content. Even if it isn't gifted from brands, this is the content that helps me make informed decisions about whiskey collecting. At 99 unique bottles and 147 total bottles, The Vault and its reviews have been a large part of my experience in finding quality whiskey and trustworthy reviews.
This will definitely come off as obscure, but Jack Daniel's Single Malt is basically the whiskey equivalent to the modern-day Ford Mustang GT350. By name it's an American muscle car, but it is powered by a very foreign (when it comes to American engines) Ferrari-esque flat-plane crank V8.
Why does the music and the rob off and on remind me of Mr. Rogers? Daniellas I wish we could go back to the Rex and your reviews. I miss them. I understand why but I still miss them.
I came here to say almost the same thing. I feel like it's Daniel's attempt to continue the channel's past silliness but with his own signature that doubles down on his earnestness.
I have seen this bottle in New Jersey at Joint Base MDL Class 6 (Base Liquor Store) for $52. Army Air Force Exchange Services must have gotten their hands on some.
Great review. I find it somewhat ironic (and not just a little hilarious) how none of the big brands have been able to produce a solid ASM yet. It seems theirs are coming like what one would expect from “craft”. While the smaller craft distilleries are making amazing ASM! All the same great have more players in the field. Now if we can get the liquor stores to separate the ASM from Bourbon on their shelves. 😖
Is it a magic wand? 😂 Would love to try more jack Daniels. Regular 7 is boring, but sure they should make great whiskey for all kinds of consumers. That box show why people dislike big brands, they make huge empty box to make you think you are getting a lot of things in it.
Nice video. I am one that really enjoys American Single Malts. I happen to be sipping on Pfluger Single Malt, which is a very tasty dram. I also enjoy Westward and Andalusia Stryker Single Malt. Both are very, very tasty. The smoke on the Stryker is so nice that adds a rich depth. Keep on reviewing American Single Malts. Chets.
I haven't had this one but I did get to try the special release malt they put out a couple years ago, which I assume is pretty similar in profile. I liked it a lot and it was definitely Jacky... that particular acrid oak char note JD tends to have was there in spades. The sherry went well with it but I feel like blind I'd have picked it out as a sherry-finished JD rather than a single malt. Solid effort, I think, but it doesn't have anything on the various craft malt distilleries in the US.
I've been wanting to know more about this one for a while, being a JD fan. I'm not a malt guy but hopefully I can find this some place. I heard from a little birdie that this was aged for about the normal 5 ish year Stent in New charred oak, and aged for years I olorosso, don't quote me on it though
After consuming a few JD SBBP bourbons and one rye, I decided that the pouring of the distillate over maple charcoal gives a strong note that I called tangy. I enjoy the JD offerings that I've tried but as my palate has matured, I found I like other bourbon and rye more without that charcoal mellowed note.
I hope I come across one, I am traveling to Scotland in May, so here's hoping. I haven't seen it at the Canadian or US duty free bridge by me yet, sadly.
Between the Mr. Roger's intro and the video ending with Daniel's head in a circle ah la wheel of fortune. I wasn't sure what's going on. Daniel it helps to not look into the hat when you are not looking into the hat.
