When the Bottled in Bond Act was first passed in 1897, there was a good reason for it—whiskey was often adulterated with additives and other unsavory things that you probably wouldn’t want to actually consume by unscrupulous producers. So when a whiskey was marked as BIB, you could at least be assured that it wasn’t colored with shoe shine or flavored with leather straps.
This is an intriguing whiskey, still very recognizably Jack Daniel’s with some other elements on the palate that are less familiar. There is sweet banana and custard on the nose, along with a bit of baking spice. The palate is a bit more complex than regular Jack, or at least strays farther afield than what you’re used to. That trademark banana bread is present, along with some tannic spice, brandied cherry, leather wallet and bitter cocoa powder notes, followed by a pleasantly hot finish.
Whatever you think about Old No. 7, and I’m not one who pours that particular whiskey very often, Jack Daniel’s has consistently released some interesting expressions over the past few years. Single Barrel is usually very good , the 10-Year-Old was one of my favorites of the past year, and the Tennessee Tasters series has had some welcome surprises.
