Well worth the extra, Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack is charcoal-mellowed twice, before and after the ageing process, resulting in a cleaner, more refined end product. Packaged in a smart monogram-esque bottle.

Nose: Lighter oak, drier on the nose than Old No.7; vanilla, brown sugar, maple and apple.

Palate: Sweet vanilla, stone fruits and apple.

Finish: Subtle oak that develops into a smooth finish of fruit with maple and floral honey.
