possible MM contribution for 15/6/20, #1 theme: Label
What can I say - it's booze!!
But definitely NOT bourbon...and never mixed with anything but an ice cube.
Distilled in Chicago by Koval. Allegedly the first Chicago (legal) whiskey since Prohibition era. Charred oak barrels, and no caramel coloring added. Powerful flavor.

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye
Classification: Rye
Company: Brown-Forman
Distillery: Jack Daniel's Distillery
Released: Ongoing
Proof: 94
Age: NAS
Mashbill: 70% Rye, 18% Corn, 12% Malted Barley
Color: Amber
MSRP: $50 (2017)
NOSE
A welcoming array of cherry and banana, offset by bouts of custard, oak, and faint rye spice. A dash of ethanol is present but doesn’t sabotage an otherwise nice experience. Enjoyable, and surprisingly tame in intensity, what’s definitely notable is the restraint and overall gentleness this young whiskey is sporting. This isn’t a typical bombastic rye whiskey nose, for better or for worse.
PALATE
It tastes a bit simple at first. A heavy dose of banana is upfront that’s followed by caramel and cherry. The palate never quite fully develops into an array of flavors. Instead, the highlight here is its very enjoyable buttery mouthfeel that simply settles on a baked plantain, oak, and rye spice blend that’s straightforward and satisfying. Slightly reminiscent of Jack Daniel’s No 7 flavors and characteristics the whiskey is known for, but still its own beast.
FINISH
There’s a noticeable ethanol bite on the finish that’s saddled with rye spice and oak. Lasting notes of cinnamon and vanilla ride out this medium length finish. It’s on the dry side and easily the whiskey’s weakest link.
UNIQUENESS
With rye’s increased popularity, many new ryes have popped up on store shelves over the past few years. The majority of them have been sourced from MGP, resulting in a very similar tasting landscape. Even some of the Kentucky majors, like Woodford and Jim Beam, released new rye whiskeys, and in their particular cases have been downright lackluster. In Jack Daniel’s case though, this Single Barrel Rye is one of the more interesting and unique ryes, especially for how young it is.

OVERALL
Like any single barrel, barrel proof release, proofs vary by barrel. And in usual Jack Daniel’s style, the proof points are generally pretty high. Clocking in at over 137 proof, this barrel’s proof is evident throughout with heat upfront, persistent heat through the palate, and heat that tapers towards heavy spice in the finish. Raisin and burnt oak add depth to the nose, with butterscotch and caramel weaving into the palate. On the finish, enjoyable amounts of leather and cigar box flavors join in.
