Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash Shelf Review
Shelf Review
Designed to give you all the quick hit information you need when you’re standing in front of your local liquor store’s whisky shelf.
Over the last few years, Jack Daniel’s has been releasing some incredible products in their Bonded series – culminating in their Bonded Tennessee Whisky winning Whisky Advocates Whisky of the Year in 2022. Their follow up, the Jack Daniel’s Bonded Rye was a sleeper hit for me last year with an incredibly approachable and enjoyable take on a bonded rye whisky.
This new(ish) Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash expression rounds out the series and features a combination of rye, single malt, and Tennessee whiskies blended together to create a 100 proof expression that rings in around $35. Let’s dive in and if they have hit a hat trick with this Triple Mash!
Age: Non-Age Stated
ABV: 50%
Cask: Combination of age rye, single malt, and Tennessee whiskies (oak casks)
MSRP: $35
Distillery Name: Jack Daniel’s Distillery
Review Date: 5/27/24
Nose: Classic Jack Daniel’s notes full of banana, vanilla frosting, baking spices, with a slight metallic twinge. Barrel char mixed with a malty funk with herbal undercurrent. It’s more muted than other bonded Jack products but you can easily tell the effects of each of the distillates.
Palate: Lighter than expected on first sip. Malty, bready, with more barrel char and oak mixed with a sweet artificial metallic syrup. After a few sips, it gives me a heavy beer-like character that I don’t love. Mouthfeel is good but not extraordinary.
Finish: Medium length finish that goes darker than the palate with spiced banana bread, nutmeg and honey. Best part of the experience.
