Jack Daniel’s Sweet Forward Single Barrel Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: “Rich, deep. The beautifully oxidative and rancio first nose (mango, orange, apricot) is also floral (iris, lily), chocolatey, nobly woody and spicy (saffron, new oak).”
Palate: “Chocolate, ginger, cinnamon and candied citrus fruit (lemon, orange) but is also rich (almond pastry, pistachio cake).”
Finish: “Long, firm. Settled in its fruity, vegetable stance, the start of the finish invites us to go picking oranges and mandarins.”
