Quite possibly the finest Jack Daniels I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Sadly, it's been some time since I last had a glass, but I recall it being considerably smoother than Old No. 7. It's fitting that Jack himself is honored with this release. It's my top Jack. I'm fortunate to still possess two unopened bottles. My initial purchase of this was concurrent with a bottle of Sinatra Select. Perhaps that explains my lack of enthusiasm for Sinatra Select.

A definite improvement over No.7. It retains the signature JD taste, but this one is the smoothest I've encountered. It's worth trying. Rated 3.5/5
Very smoky. The initial taste is surprising, then it softens on the rocks. This was Masters No. 6. It was not on the list.
Slightly sweeter and a touch smokier than #7. If they cost the same, I'd choose this one initially.
This is excellent. It has a spicy and well-rounded flavor profile, a very pleasing mouthfeel, and fruity notes.
