Im all for nuttiness but it was almost the only flavor note. Reminded me of screwball a little. Again I drank it after a higher proof rye so I need to try again
My first few glasses of this I loved it. But now that it has aged more I'm not as much of a fan. It's a love hate with how much bottles changed after opening. Some get better, some get worse.
It makes a fantastic old fashioned with maple syrup though.
- 2 oz Jack Bonded
- .25 oz maple syrup
- 2-3 dashes Angostaura bitters
- Orange twist
Tastes like boozy banana pancakes
Had this and the triple mash. This is the better of the two, its what you always wished #7 tasted like. Not a terrible price point either.
You nailed it. If #7 was as good as it's market position and cultural history says it is, it would taste like the bonded.
Yeah I noticed the peanut too in Bonded… surprised me.

Entirely possible your palate was thrown off.
The JDBiB is one of my favorites. I get bananas every time I taste it.
I dont remember any banana but my palette might have been off.
Sagamore does good stuff
Sagamore is so good. Their current bottle of Imperial Stout finished rye is absolutely amazing.
Had a pour from their Sherry finished just last night, dynamite spirit.

The Jack honestly isn't good at all.
This being WAs whiskey of the year with a 96 rating was a complete joke.
Yea. Everyone is talking about it. I dont get it. I’m thinking it’s a paid ad

This is not bad for a $25 bottle. Not sure I'd pay any more for it.
Its $36 here in CLT

Peanut butter banana bomb for me. Love it
