Jack Daniel's Old No. 7

Jack jak Jack

A little more alcoholic than I'd like. Ok on the rocks.

Very disappointing and probably only drinkable with coke

Very ethanol

OK

Had hidden this whiskey in the back of the rack. And today after a long time courage and once again tasted. And what a surprise: that is not as bad as I remembered him and many ratings certify! Now I also understand the enthusiasm of a colleague of mine. Jim Murray is lying with my 87 points not completely off the mark, this cheap drop has quite its qualities. Tasting note will follow occasionally. Hereby an apology to all Whisk (e) yfreunde, which evaluate differently. But Scotland, in my opinion, sometimes offers drops, which may well drop in proportion to the US drinks.

A top-selling bottling from the Jack Daniel distillery, the mashbill is made up of 80% corn, 12% rye and 8% malt. The spirit is filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal to produce a mellow, slightly smoky character, thus making it Tennessee whiskey...

Caramel, vanilla, coconut, and a chemical varnish. Easy palate, final with light tannins. Acceptable but not terrible.

Actually quite useful (if you like bourbon, of course), which probably only burned into the memory as bad because you were used to the first try not a 40% schnaps and "Ex!" generally not a good idea. In its quality class, it is just under € 20 but one of the more expensive, and for the Coke's is much cheaper.

The most recognizable Jack Daniels brand. That is why it is worth trying :)

A nice everyday drink with a simple nose and taste

It goes hard through the throat. To be drunk with cola for less demanding guests.

Nice to mix with cola

Sweetness, vanilla, caramel, oak - not recommended neat, the alcohol comes through too much.

This whiskey is made for everyone who just wants to show off that they drink whiskey. It's nothing special than half-price whiskeys. It's just "better" and "more enjoyable to drink." Advertising and nothing more.

Aroma：Subtle；Palate：66/100; Aftertaste：Short.

Basic, cheap, harshly sweet whiskey with nothing significant in it. Any quality seems to be drowned in waves of sickly sweetness.

N: Slight alcohol spike, fishy, ​​light, slightly burnt scent?, vanilla ​ P: Bland, typical bourbon, vanilla, a hint of green apple ​ F: Slightly fishy, ​​finishes with Jack Daniel's distinctive strange taste

Lacks complexity, too sugarry. In someway I can understand why so much people likes it, but on the other hand I also understand why generally these people doesn't like regular whiskey! Still, it's good with Coke

Bad but I was expecting worse

Tasted neat, this Tennessee whiskey is rather harsh and rough. It predominantly smells of airfix glue and solvents, but there is a fruity note lurking in the background. Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 is very young whiskey indeed. However, mixed with Coca Cola it harmonizes surprisingly well, as the late Lemmy Kilmister would have confirmed. Hence, from the perspective of a Scotch single malt drinker, I can recommend Jack Daniel's for mixing purposes. If you are used to drink your whiskey neat, you probably want to try 'the older brother' Gentleman Jack. RATING: 2.0/5.0 stars ≙ 60 pts → INFERIOR

Sweet, cherries but pretty sharp

Smells slightly of vanilla and thinner, tastes slightly of glue. Depending on the age of the bottle, only very slightly, but also to the point of being unbearable. I've already had a glass of Jack Daniel's returned that smelled extremely like it had been diluted and only tasted like glue.

Jim Beam is better :)

Basic JD

Better than JB

Great bottle to get into the whiskey world, not difficult neither somenthing special

Do not really understand this at all. Whiskey (just ordinary bourbon) that has become big by film and advertising and teenagers who want to do great. Nice with cola. But only with cola. In my view JD is only good for two things: to mix with cola and to sell in cafes and discotheques sell t-shirts with JD print to mid-lifers

The taste statement that he is no longer made of waste, lifts him over 60 points. The taste is not completely confused and the sharpness a bit softened. Weak character and far from the qualities of a true Tennessee. Will continue to damage the image of American whiskey in Germany.

PJQ after seeing an incredible score of 100 points for this whiskey, I have to ask - do you work for Jack Daniel's?

Not suitable for pure enjoyment, but the best choice in cola. JackyCola forever !!!

Not a very good whiskey, but it's okay to use as a mixer.

70/100

Neat it is drinkable but only lacking other options. Buy a bottle and share it with your worst friends.

vanilla

The ''Old No. 7'' from ''Jack Daniel's'' is one of those things. It's always said you love him or you hate him. I feel neither of these two feelings. He leaves me rather cold! Technically and qualitatively okay, but overall quite flat, although it is very easy to drink and extremely mild and gentle.

Tried it pure for the first time and focused on the aromas. Basically it doesn't taste bad, but only in homeopathic quantities because the bitter note in the finish increases with every sip and becomes increasingly pungent - December 30th, 2023

Almond burn. Not gonna have another dram of this.

Undrinkable.

Given the Price Point this is still better than any Single Malt you could get in that Range.That's the built in advantage of Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey using Virgin Oak as they give up their Flavour Profile much earlier. Despite a weak Finish and a few off notes it's a drinkable Whiskey.

Standard

Below average!

a baseline bourbon. sweet, slight rye bite. round and nice

Jack is Jack

It's better with ice cubes !!!

Jack is Jack, nothing special but it doesn't have to be Nose Vanilla bomb, overripe banana, caramel Taste Very sweet, caramel, vanilla, sugar syrup Finish artificially sweet, a bit sharp, spices and caramel

More artificial and unnatural-looking sweetness and less complex than Jim Beam White Label. Somewhat positively surprised, but still not a candidate for purchase.

This is the first whiskey I ever had. In high school they called me jack cause I always bring jack. It's my go to whiskey, I prefer it neat ,sometimes chilled, sometimes with ginger beer. It's reliable because it's in every store ,in every bar. It's also pretty cheap...

Good solid blended whiskey!

Classic

just classic jack with strong banana notes

Okay for fudge and some cocktails

Good whiskey

Even coke can’t save this

what can you say?)

Fine

Pretty bad

Not worth drinking

Poop. The vibe of this whiskey reminds me of my unsuccessful (in my opinion) birthday present to my mother. I was 12, I became a victim of marketing - and here I am, I made such a blunder. Oh well, then I grew up, matured and appreciated Jack Daniel's, so to speak, with a sober head. I'm not a big fan of Tennessee whiskey in general. For that kind of money you can get a good Scotch blend or a decent bourbon. Oh well... that's just me and my taste preferences. I think Jack's problem is the smell of pharmaceutical ethanol with a drop of caramel and oak. The taste is the same: the first note is sharp, alcoholic. Then something sweet appears, with a hint of acetone. In its pure form, it is unsuitable for consumption. It only goes well with Coca-Cola in a cocktail. Flat, rough, uninteresting. Boring. Mom, by the way, appreciated my childish impulse and accepted it with joy. Conclusion: Mom is sacred. But Jack Daniel's is not.

COLOR: Amber - one of the most famous American whiskeys - can be drunk (also neat) - just has that special JD touch that not everyone likes (Adhesive) - I think it's good, especially with cola it's the best for me "Whiskey-Cola" that exists - but you can taste JD's own characteristics, always surprised that he is pure as a simple standard is very drinkable - with 20€ price ok compared to other standard bourbons - definitely better than the standard Jim Beam (white label)

A whiskey that never disappoints and always tastes the same.

alcoholic and spicy

tbh, I would rather not call it whiskey If you like to drink this with coke, that would only mean that you like coke

First time I tasted this I thought it was horrible, but after trying this again some years later its not so bad.

A good barbecue whiskey that does what it's suppose to. It's not a bad ingredient in the marinade either. (Rating interval 73-77)

I've been served this mixed, but it's the first time I have it straight and analyze it. I would call this a "diet Southern Comfort"... OK with the BBQ or lazing next to the pool.

typical bourbon mass product. nice and easy to drink, a lot of honey and sweetness but that's it. it lacks complexity  and finish in comparison to scotch single malts but I think that is kind of an unfair comparison.

Aroma: It's a lot to smell sweet, but I can not say it would bother me. It is embedded in a total scent, into wood, heavy sweets of over-ripe fruit, winds, licorice. Somewhere behind it is the cucumber lure and the liquid charcoal charcoal. Actually, it all works fine and I like it. (83 b) Taste: In taste, the overall tone is weaker. The lust is to know, the body is thin. Burned corn, cinnamon, some vanilla and woody bitterness. (75 b) Points: 79 Summary: I was tasting after twenty years thanks to the birthday party celebration. Overall, JDBL is quite industrial, but it does not really matter.

A perfect example of the power of marketing. Everyone knows it, and at the same time, it is one of the worst liquors in the world. Dominant Notes: Explosive and overwhelming notes of acetone or nail polisher, hand sanitizer and disinfectant alcohol. Vomitive. Secondary Notes: Plastic. Coal. Glue. Touches of wood and fruit. All hidden behind an opaque wall of pure chemicals. I hate it.

70 points

Supple

COLOR: Amber - one of the most famous American. Whiskeys - you can drink it (even neat), but you don't have to - for me (in terms of aroma) the best whiskey for whiskey-cola - has that special special Jack Daniel's touch that isn't Everyone likes (glue), but I think they're good - at around 20€ not too expensive but more worthwhile for me Jim beam white label - Better buy the single barrel to enjoy

intense smell of acetone and prevalent bitter taste.

My roommate, who isn't a whiskey drinker, gave me this bottle. I'll be honest, I never thought it was that bad. I don't think this one is that bad either. It's just a 40% bourbon (or "Tennessee Whiskey"), essentially the same thing, except for the charcoal. A bit thin, but it works. No off-flavors and nothing that many other, more expensive bourbons don't have. If I had the choice between Jim Beam and this one, I'd always go with the Jackie. I still wouldn't buy it myself. The flavors are basic bourbon: clove, "artificial" orange. Smooth on the attack and finish, doesn't hurt, and doesn't have any major off-flavors. It's made out to be worse than it is. Many probably associate it with wild youthful times with cola and headaches, which I thankfully never had. :)

Overall, everything is quite primitive but not terrible, the smell is generally relatively pleasant. Very basic bourbon, for a general understanding of what kind of drink it is, you can try it.

With the exception of Wasmund's (made in Virginia, USA - http://www.copperfox.biz/press/ ), this is the worst whiskey I have ever had. You need a tongue and stomach of steel for this. Ouch!

boise and smoke, filter on charcoal, taste of cold tobacco, roasted notes

Smells like whiskey, allright. Taste: cardboard, then vanilla, toffee, wood, again cardboard. Strong and bland at the same time. Not really enjoyable...wondering if i should finish my sample or put it down the sink.

when i first nosed and tasted this whiskey i was impressed probably because it is unique with it's charred maple qualities, but as i expanded my knowledge and got to taste other american offerings, this got old and tiring really quick to a point that it was getting mediocre. good for beginners...

Well, it does not have much to do with a whiskey.

It's the best known whiskey for a very good reason. Its one of the best made. it's smooth, has a good after burn, coats the mouth nicely and suits any drinking style. Neat, over ice, or with coke, it just works. This is the best all rounder bourbon whiskey and i strongly recommend to all drinkers to have a bottle in the cabinet.

sweet and vanilla just classic dram, not bad

Mash bill: 80% corn, 12% barley, 8% rye. Charcoal-mellowed. Aged in charred American oak casks.

Perfect (and the only original) for Whiskey Cola :)

Good Coke. Nothing special for purely.

Use for Jack n' coke or fast memory loss

standart range of whiskey

Too sweet, too simple

Jack No 7 was my first go-to whiskey way back when . . . Introduced to single malt scotch and never looked back until a couple of years ago - our weekly Whisk(e)y Wednesday gatherings these past 3 years reintroduced me to bourbon (and Tennessee sour mash . . . ) - I've been using this and Jim Beam white label as the baselines for my bourbon evaluations and ratings. Bottom line: ok, but there are better choices at the same price level or even cheaper. I give it a 75 because I've now tasted a number of US bourbons that aren't close to this level. However, there's a reason a Jack and Coke is popular . . .

scent: delicate, sweet, alcoholic, vanilla, nail polish remover taste: sweet, smooth, herbal, vanilla, peach, green meadow It's not that bad actually. Fresh notes of peach and something like hay.

For the money not bad, me myself I love to drink my alcohol neat, and jack Daniels is a starting point for not mixing with cola. But because of strong "alchocol" flavor for lots of people it's better with cola and I can understand them, it lacks the smoothes other more expensive whiskeys have like chivas regal( about 10 € more expensive).

#0159 JACK DANIEL'S OLD No.7 TENNESSEE OUR MASH WHISKEY 40%. … What to sum up? Let's start with the fact that I am not a fan of mixing all kinds of whiskeys, bourbons, etc. with anything. If they do, I'll drink it, but for me to be delighted?!. In the case of the basic J. Daniels, I can (with apologies) have it naked. It is not a great pleasure, because the drink is as simple as Highway 10 in Saudi Arabia (260 km) and the most famous as "Route 66" running from Chicago to the pier in Santa Monica. Drink it however you want and with whatever you want. Now I have a point of reference for tasting other drinks under the JACK DANIEL's brand

I have to say, I am surprised. Not my "style" - way too sweet and too little complexity - but nevertheless it is surprisingly good to eat for such a mass-produced product. So, when I'm back at a party where there's only "Jack Cola" I'll ask for it without a coke.

Well, nothing special here, but not as bad as you would expect from a beverage in the quantity it's sold. Concerning price/performance ratio: 6/10 (2016)

N- Incense wood and fabric cotton on a sphere of spicy heat. Sweet notes of maple, banana, cream soda and crushed leaf, pleasant. P- Candy sweet, plum kernel, vanilla, classic root beer. Rough ride but not too bad, woody dry. Light body. F- Short, puffy charred, light chinese oilment, plum liqueur. Spice coating. — at The Whiskey Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

You can probably make an okay coke or ginger ale or sprite mix out of this, but it has no value whatsoever for an enthusiast.

Very good!

week

I have a soft spot for this one. Easy drinking whiskey, perhaps a bit too much glue in the nose. I don't get much ethanol like some people do on the nose. On the palate it a fairly straightforward sweet bourbon profile. I always have a bottle open for those nights where you just want an easy drinking whiskey that doesn't demand much attention.

Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey, 40%. Consumed Dec 2021. Of course like most people I’ve consumed plenty of this, although always with coke. I’ve never before sat down with a neat double pour and thought about what’s in the glass. So today is a new experience for me. Very dark for a whiskey that’s presumably very young and that’s been heavily diluted. A mid-tone amber. Aroma is good ... but it instantly brings to mind grotty nightclubs from my youth. The alcohol cuts through the caramelised banana notes, bringing some appley esters too creating more of a toffee apple vibe. Celery after the immediate ‘sweet’ impressions. Some red skin peanut and raspberry ice cream over time. It’s really not a bad nose, and it’s quite distinctive. It's just a pity about the psychological associations it conjures up. Watery in the mouth. Taste is very easy-going but not insipid. Borderline insipid, but always stays just about flavourful enough with its vaguely toffee apple profile, which is more than can be said for many 40% drams. The alcohol and wood together seem to bring a slight spiciness but neither shows up in a literal/obvious or unappealing way. It’s quite simple, but enjoyable and direct. Impressively well-made on this showing, for something so cheap and ubiquitous. I mean it’s not wonderful but it’s good, as you’d expect for something with an enduring worldwide reputation. There are plenty of whiskies that I have enjoyed drinking less than this. Perhaps there is some variability but on this showing I would say that it deserves more respect than it sometimes gets. 3.4/81

Classic

Benchmark whiskey for this particular genre. For what it is, it is actually quite likeable.

-

Color without depth. Get rid of it quickly.

Only useful for mixing

I like to drink it once in a while

tast like oil paint and bug killer

Sweet and straightforward, with caramel, vanilla and banana, but also a noticeable acetone/solvent-like note. The palate feels thin and somewhat alcoholic, with sweet oak. Short finish. Not very enjoyable neat for me; works much better in mixed drinks.

Consistent whiskey. It does the job well.

Good to mix with cola.

I was given a 350 ml bottle, and decided to try it neat. Not a pleasant experience… After pouring, the overwhelming scent is glue, reminiscent of model airplane building... which I was horrible at. Given some time in the glass, excessive banana sweetness comes to the fore. Better than the glue it pushes away rather effectively, but too artificial and not pleasant. The mouth experience is harsh, indicating a young whiskey. Gluey sweetness, some dry wood and pepper. The finish is medium long, pepper prevails the longest. Sorry, but this is a cola mixer for me… The presentation is manly, tough. Label could do with a little less text; it is a bit cluttered. More sleek would have added to its visual appeal.

Great mixer. Drinking this one neat is really a struggle though. Strong alcohol taste with some chemicals in it.

Revisited: It's fine, very sweet and basic. from 64 to 70. Because it was in promotion I revisited it again with a full 70cl bottle. I will replace my rating again. From 70 to 78. If the finish would be better it could be almost the perfect budget dram. Also at 90 proof it would be ways better.

Work well with coke but drinking it neat would be a challenge. The charcoal filtration did add flavour to the bourbon and make it smoother. In my pre-historical scoring method, it's a 7.8/10.

It never fails. Sweet with an obvious aftertaste of corn, vanilla and caramel with oak and charcoal.

Much Better than ballantines

Quality budget bourbon is ok

alcoholic and watery

History and atmosphere in a bottle. Power and hard like a Motorhead music. Enjoy, drink and don't bother

classic

sweet, corn, vanilla, caramel

The original all-conquering cola-friendly colossus, Jack Daniel`s No. 7 commands a legion of fans worldwide, thanks to the sweet smoothness imparted by the Lincoln County Process of charcoal-mellowing the spirit before maturation.

Little complex with many rough edges. For mixing but wonderfully suitable.

Nice dram. Dont compare it to Scotch Single Malt because it isnt.

Classic with coke. Neat is a bit week. Especially finish is pretty much non-existing.

I found the nose surprisingly good. The taste, however, falls slightly off.

brown gold in color, liquid in the glass, thick tears many sugars,

good bourbon good tast some spice the tast stays 3 min

I'm not a big fan of bourbons, but i like Jack Daniels products. Probably because of charcoal filtration.

Banana vanilla but it's a bit hard to just eat it

vanila, oak, spicy, with kinda of acetone nose. anyway for jack coke

There is a distinct aftertaste that is unpleasant, something slightly burnt, maybe due to the Lincoln county process ? Anyhow, not very good, not really impressed but drinkable. An American JW Red Label, alcohol that is well produced, but bland and uninvolved.

For those who want to enter the world of bourbon, it's a start.

Jack Daniel's No. 7 is a true classic, but I have to be honest: the smell didn't really convince me. Personally, I find it a bit too strong and powerful in flavor when drunk neat. But mixed – especially with cola – it's truly enjoyable! A lovely sweetness comes through, rounding off the robust character nicely. For me, this is definitely a whiskey I recommend primarily for mixed drinks. In this combination, it puts you in a good mood!

Not unpleasant, not harsh, practically no alcohol content

This whiskey seems to be a little pretender. But why the decades-long worldwide sales success? Despite mass production and favorable price: In the relation to the usual Bourbons of BJ and EW mE a correct enlightenment!

A classic of the apero. Go everywhere, in all conditions (dry, ice cubes, soda ...)

Most people think of Jack Daniels as Bourbon, unless you're from Kentucky or Tennessee, then you know that it is actually Tennessee Whiskey because it has been charcoal filtered.  A little harsh compared to Irish Whiskey or Scotch.  Like Bourbon it has some sweetness compared to other whiskies. Good on its own, with ice, or mixed, also good in marinades.

Received once, tasted without prejudice. Can not get used to the taste. Even with cola I do not really like it.

Classic - it's worth a try, you must definitely go through it. The main thing is not to stop there. For gatherings, it’s not bad at all, if you do not take into account the price

Received the bottle as a gift; after a couple of attempts to understand the popularity, I will be using it to start the campfire.

Nice banana nose, but chemical and soapy taste

Too much acetone / the reason I didn't drink whiskey for a long time

My go-to in the toolbox
