BUT, there are some bottles that didnt quite hit our palates the right way, or the value and price ratio didn't quite add up. Here are 10 of those bottles.

The NEW KING of Jack Daniel's Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

There's a new king in Lynchburg Tennessee! Old No. 7 might be the most well known label of the Jack Daniel's lineup, but it is not the king. We love the Jack Daniel's single barrels, but...they aren't the king. There is a new product at Jack Daniel's that takes the crown, at least according their Head Distiller. And we couldn't agree more.
