Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye WhiskeyDistilled from a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% malted barley, Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye is aged around 7 years before bottling at 100 proof. A lovely nose features fruity pears and apples along with maple sweetness and light rye spice. The palate, in contrast, begins with spice notes of black pepper and cinnamon before notes of mint, maple syrup, and oak bring depth and balance. The finish is pleasant with some peppery spice, vanilla, and oak.
