History,
The Rested Rye release continues the Jack Daniels expedition into the captivating flavour drawn from the first Unaged Rye offering. This time around the spice character from the Unaged Rye grain remains but the rye whiskey has rested in the barrelhouse meaning the barrels have begun to assert their toasted oak and vanilla notes into the rye whiskey. Though not quite mature, this Rested Rye whiskey offers a hint of the full potential of the Tennessee Rye. It has been produced from a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley and was aged for two years in new barrels with a combination of toasting levels. This mash bill is the first new mash bill used at the Jack Daniel Distillery in over a century.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: The raw smell is pretty much gone and the beginning of the nose and front palate has started to resemble Demerara simple syrup with an extreme vanilla aroma.
Palate: Delicate notes of vanilla and caramel on entry giving way to complex notes of fruit and rye spice.
Finish: Rich and Spicy.
