Jack Daniel's Triple Mash Blended Whiskey, 70 cl

Product Information

What I will do is say that unlike most of what we’ve seen from JD in recent years, these are indeed permanent expressions, both bonded, so over 4 years old and bottled at 100 proof. The finish, although somewhat short, offers additional hints of Cherry Coke, a hint of cinnamon, and a gentle warmth that adds a comforting touch without overwhelming the palate. Is it good?

This experience was a precursor to my venture into the liquor shop business, where I had the privilege of curating an extensive collection of liquors, granting me access to thousands of unique bottles from across the globe. Despite being bottled at the same proof, the Triple Mash stands out with its enhanced body and bolder taste, all without sacrificing smoothness or becoming harsh. Of special note: Be aware that both bottles are 700ml instead of the standard 750ml, which was recently approved as an option in the U.S. The whiskey delivers a lengthier finish that pleasantly lingers, ensuring a satisfying experience from start to end, with no disappointments along the way. On the nose: Warm vanilla and orange peel walk hand in hand in such synchronization that you cannot tell one from the other or what the two of them are creating together.My first step was to seek out the original press release where I first saw the announcement of these expressions. In the very beginning of the press release I found a lot of what I wanted to know: In this personal blog, I share my knowledge and insights on Whisky, Whiskey & Bourbon and other spirits, drawing from my 30 years of extensive experience. Both whiskeys are bottled in bond but the Triple Mash is a unique blend of three whiskeys crafted at the Lynchburg Distillery. The nose of the Triple Mash offers notes of banana, along with vanilla, caramel, a touch of rye spice, and clove. So, for this review I decided to be a blissfully unaware whiskey consumer. I see a big brand that I like. They release a new product that seems fun. I have no idea if this will be the first of many regular releases or a limited release. I just wanted to buy this, open it, share it, review it and be on my way. Let’s just drink it. However, I eventually learned that you should always read before you write.

Additional notes of baking spice and a subtle hint of bitter chocolate emerge, contributing to a satisfying conclusion. Is it good?

One important aspect about this whiskey and its Triple Mash counterpart, is the change to 700mL bottle size as opposed to the typical 750mL we are accustomed to in the United States. In late 2020, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) amended regulations that govern wine and spirits bottle sizes, adding four new allowable standards of fill for distilled spirits: 700mL, 720mL, 900mL, and 1.8L. According to the TTB, “These new container sizes will provide bottlers with flexibility by allowing the use of the added container sizes, and will facilitate the movement of goods in domestic and international commerce, while also providing consumers broader purchasing options.” Notably, 700mL is a more common bottle size globally, so the 750mL we're accustomed to here in the United States is the oddity, not the other way around. There is a subtle touch of Cherry Coke and undertones of pecan, adding complexity and depth to the whiskey. The flavor profile showcases the delightful combination of banana nut bread, fruity notes of apple and apricot, and a gentle touch of rye spice that remains relatively restrained. Color: I originally thought this one was a shade lighter than bonded but felt the red label was throwing me off. Side by side in a glass it looks a shade darker to me now. Perhaps two shades darker than Bonded.
