I would humbly recommend that you don't worry about your viewers 'budget' concerns when doing bottles in this price range or higher. It's understandable, but from an old sales persons experiences, let the customers determine the value after you give the details. I am a big JD fan - I love it neat, even old number 7. No ice, no water. Just straight, slow, and wonderful. I will be buying this in the future for the experience, and not the value per say.
Solid advice. My cheaper whiskey reviews always do great numbers and the expensive ones dont... so I assume people aren't interested in expensive whiskies but I'll keep that advice in mind
Great review. I'm a Sinatra enthusiast and it was all the noise about him and Jack Daniel's which turned me into a JD enthusiast. Did I buy my liter of Sinatra Select? Nope. For that kind of money I could've bought a lot of single barrel and a box set of Sinatra CDs. You have to set your priorities, right? Ah, but two friends of mine were in a duty free shop, saw a box of Select, and thought of me. Those are two great friends. I'm happy about one thing which came out in your review: that this is still Jack Daniel's and not a goofy product with a messed-up taste that is miles away from what you expect JD to taste like. So, thanks for the lucid and fair review. Note: once, after Sinatra had his JD stolen - or moved - while he was onstage, he decided it was time to assign someone to guard it. Having someone guarding your Jack Daniel's? That's class.
Long time Single Barrel drinker here but just got a bottle of the Sinatra Select recently (GIFT). The Sinatra is definitely smoother and I'd rate it about 30% better than the Single Barrel but at 350% more cost I'd agree it's very expensive to justify. The bad part is after drinking half the bottle, it's hard to go back to the regular Single Barrel.
I paid around $200 for my bottle, I bought it at the airport in Amsterdam though. I almost got it taken away from me when I hit customs stateside. The machine that they run the bottle through wouldn't pass it. Lucky for me after about 45 minutes I was able to continue with my Jack. That's been about a year now..... I guess now would be a good time to crack it open....
I've been a fan of JD for many years. I drink a wide variety of bourbons, scotches and Irish whiskeys but still like a JD from time to time. Just picked up a bottle of this mostly just to have a bottle in my collection. Nice review. Miss Jack being 86 proof. I think it tasted better back then.
I really love the taste of the Single Barrel! Of course in the nearly future I will buy a bottle of the Sinatra Select. I 'm sure that I' ll love it even much more! By the way - that 's a nice video and your explanation was very informative and helpful for me. Thanks for this and greetings from Germany 🤘🏻 Cheers 🥃
Came here to look up a review for a bottle of Jack I had been wanting to try for quite some time now. Then find another whiskey I had been wanting to try at the end of the video. Talk about a clutch video click.
+SDF5150 color and taste won't be significantly different, but I personally noticed a good difference in taste. Did you do ice or water or did you just have them neat?
+SDF5150 hmm... I finished the bottle a little while ago so sadly, I can't do a side by side with you, but I remember them being different. But only in taste. Smell and color were similar
The Single Barrel was lovely, in the Uk they make 100 proof version which in my opinion too much Back throat burn and lost its smoothness. Not as good as regular SB whiskey. No way in hell am I gonna pay 150 bucks for a slightly better Single Barrel with fancy bottle and Sinatra booklet, lol.
Really good review. I appreciate the reference to the single barrel for price . I will buy a single barrel and will pass on the Sinatra bottling. Thanks!!!
Even if this is the best Jack Daniel’s it’s vastly overpriced. Single Barrel barrel proof is nice but bit too much more fire. It’s smooth but looses some smoothness. The regular single barrel is a fantastic whiskey and the best.
Thanks for the review, I really enjoyed watching this and your pricing perspective on JD SB over JD SS. Since Fathers Day is just around the corner, and some store is offering special pricing with coupon on JD SS for under $90 + tax. Would you recommend at this discounted price?
+Tony Leu It depends, do you like Single Barrel? If you haven't tried it I would suggest the Single Barrel over the Sinatra especially for that price. 90 bucks is a great price for that but if it's not going to be something you like you'd be better off trying the single barrel for your dad, and a Woodford reserve for yourself ;)
+The Whiskey Dic Thank you for your quick responses, I have not tried JD SB yet, just have good old JD #7, but it's on my wish lists and I have just recently purchased a Woodford Reserved with Glencairn glass kit for under $25, which will be next after current bottle of opened Scotch whisky. Since this will be a Fathers Day gift, JD SB or JD SB Proof, price difference of these 2 about $10?
+Tony Leu Sounds about right. In my opinion? Go for the SB proof. It's something special. It'll be a bit stronger than the regular SB but you can always add a slight bit of water to cut the alcohol. The Sinatra select is great, don't get me wrong... but at nearly twice the price, I think you should skip it this time around. Let me know what you think of the woodford!
I bought a bottle of Sinatra Select, and I was rather surprised to find it tasted almost identical to a normal Single Barrel Jack. What a disappointment that was. Jack Gold is 10 times smoother, and far tastier, but I'd take a bottle of Gentleman Jack every day of the week over that, and given it's on 1/6 the price, it's a no brainer in my opinion.
Question: If I buy a bottle of this and keep it for 10 years for prosperity, will it be any good? I'm pretty sure it does not get any better, just wondering if it gets worse... I collected all the Jack I can find (13 so far) but have not opened them... Am I wasting them? Thank you good Sir.
So i was wanting to give my Coordinator one of these bottles he drinks Gentlemans Jack with Coke will this still be possible to have the same taste flavors with Coke? Or would he need to drink it straight and would It be worth the money how much better is the quality from Gentlemans Jack from 1-10?
It's much better quality... but my suggestion would be to go with the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. It's about 50 bucks and far better than Gentleman Jack. If there are other reasons youd like to give your coordinator this bottle then I'm sure they will enjoy it a lot.
1. 2 fingers whiskey, 3 ice cubes, AND a splash of water.2. He held it up and said, THATS THE NECTOR OF THE GODS (sometimes with a "baby" at the end)Decent video, but get it right buddy.
Thanksgiving night tonight and my brother pulled this out after dinner. I laughed but proceeded to taste with an open mind. More refined than regular JD to be sure but so what. Terrible mid palate and a horrible short and astringent finish --clearly over oaked. Unimpressed. When asked how much I'd pay for a liter I said $40. When he told me it was north of $180 I couldn't stop laughing. Fortunately he didn't buy it as it was s gift. Insanely overpriced, terribly under-crafted. Mix with Coke.
The Whiskey Dic yes there is. I like just about every thing for bottom shelf to top shelf. I use to drink nothing but Jack or crown when I had a bit more money lol but after years of drinking Jack and then jumping to single malt scotch Jack just doesn't taste good to me anymore.
The Whiskey Dic oh yeah scotch has became my drink of choice when I have the extra money and I have a few bugget blends and bourbons when money is tight lol

You can find this for $100 and it is very delicious and smooth compared to old no 7
get the single barrel
Glad you explained the darker color. My first thoughts were 'Caramel color'.

That's a good point it is hard to go back

For sure! Whisky isn't worth keeping its meant to be drank!
Nothing is wrong with Old No. 7
Thanks for your very truthful and honest review.
You got it! Always
I've been a fan of JD for many years. I drink a wide variety of bourbons, scotches and Irish whiskeys but still like a JD from time to time. Just picked up a bottle of this mostly just to have a bottle in my collection. Nice review. Miss Jack being 86 proof. I think it tasted better back then.
No doubt about it
Bought myself a bottle and LOVE IT!!! Will I buy it all the time? No. Will I buy it ever again? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Santa bought me a bottle and I thought a little too expensive but then I tasted it - I will buy again but not every week 🥂
I love your videos. Thank you for posting this
hey brother you should try the jack daniles rye i myself have not tried it id rather see your review first lol
Bought one a couple of months ago because it was on sale. It's awful, and I'm a JD fan. Mixing it with Coke almost made it worse, too.
I really love the taste of the Single Barrel! Of course in the nearly future I will buy a bottle of the Sinatra Select. I 'm sure that I' ll love it even much more! By the way - that 's a nice video and your explanation was very informative and helpful for me. Thanks for this and greetings from Germany 🤘🏻 Cheers 🥃
Didn’t realise about this bottle-Great video very interesting =Thanks for that🥃
I'm glad you enjoyed it
You did it wrong, the way frank sinatra would drink it, was 3 ice cubes, 2 fingers of whiskey, and a splash of water.
I can't wait to finally get my hands on a bottle when I get enough money. Hopefully they'll still be selling it
I'd just buy as a collector piece. Just like the slipknot whiskey it's unopened it's just to collect something differnet
lol not sure if bill's NE accent is coming out because he had to work on it or bc hes actually drunk here. ps you rock bill
It's BOTH!
Came here to look up a review for a bottle of Jack I had been wanting to try for quite some time now. Then find another whiskey I had been wanting to try at the end of the video. Talk about a clutch video click.
Nice! Hopefully you found it useful
I bought a bottle of this too. Did a side by side comparison to regular jack no. 7 and I could not tell a difference in color, smell, or taste.
+SDF5150 color and taste won't be significantly different, but I personally noticed a good difference in taste. Did you do ice or water or did you just have them neat?

I appreciate the reference to the single barrel for price . I will buy a single barrel and will pass on the Sinatra bottling.

+Corey Martin I think that's a great call. The Single Barrel is worth having, especially if you're looking to go further with Jack Daniels.
Even if this is the best Jack Daniel’s it’s vastly overpriced. Single Barrel barrel proof is nice but bit too much more fire. It’s smooth but looses some smoothness. The regular single barrel is a fantastic whiskey and the best.
If I had stupid money I’d love to get that to display. Big Sinatra guy

+The Whiskey Dic Will do, and sounds good; lets just hope the nose hairs won't burn or falloff when nosing the JD SB Proof...lol
+Tony Leu hah! Good luck!
"Frankly" no pun intended. Good words; thanks
Which single barrel? They all have a slight difference
ben eistertz #374 obviously

+Ash Jackson I agree completely. The subtle difference in taste wasn't worth it.
Question: If I buy a bottle of this and keep it for 10 years for prosperity, will it be any good?
I'm pretty sure it does not get any better, just wondering if it gets worse...
I collected all the Jack I can find (13 so far) but have not opened them... Am I wasting them?
Thank you good Sir.
+r1master If they aren't open, and are kept at a reasonable temperature in the dark (or out of the sunlight) they will be fine. You're good!
but is it better than the Master Blender's collection?
+udubidub I haven't tried that yet. So... maybe
I've tried the No1 & No3 the latter for me is the better Not even close to Gentleman Jack or Single Barrel.
So I will not buy the Master Blend
So i was wanting to give my
Coordinator one of these bottles he drinks Gentlemans Jack with Coke will this still be possible to have the same taste flavors with Coke? Or would he need to drink it straight and would
It be worth the money how much better is the quality from Gentlemans Jack from 1-10?
It's much better quality... but my suggestion would be to go with the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel. It's about 50 bucks and far better than Gentleman Jack.
If there are other reasons youd like to give your coordinator this bottle then I'm sure they will enjoy it a lot.
3 cubes. Not 4
Here in New Brunswick , it is 298.00 why so much ?
Thats insane. Probably import fees
1. 2 fingers whiskey, 3 ice cubes, AND a splash of water.2. He held it up and said, THATS THE NECTOR OF THE GODS (sometimes with a "baby" at the end)Decent video, but get it right buddy.
I was quoting the booklet that came with the whiskey. If JD is passing on misinformation, it's hard to blame me for that
Yes. The part that we care about. Finally
+Leonard C Yea, sorry. The first video was a bit long. I've gotten a lot better since
Frank's drink was 3 cubes, 2 fingers and a splash of soda.
Splash of water you mean, not soda
No bang for the buck here but it makes a really nice present for whiskey lovers and as Franky used to say: "Nectar of the gods!"
Enjoy it :-)
That’s 2 fingers of whiskey..?! Did Sinatra have huge fingers! :D
Sometimes you get distracted while pouring... sometimes its on purpose
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary hahah what was it this time ? :D I'm guessing on purpose ;) since it is a good whiskey
It WAS a good dram!
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary haha NICE
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Is it changed since then? It is sad if you used WAS on purpose:( It is hard to find the same quality about every whisky
Thought Jackie Gleason was a scotch drinker
I had the chance to try this at the distillery tour and thought it was pretty good but not worth the price tag in my opinion.
W.O.W.
В России в Невинке 15450 за 0,7... Опс,,,

Unbeknownst to you your brother may have had a good chuckle about your canting and your parsimony.
I'm not a Jack Daniels fan at all. I drank to much of it in my teenage year's Jack is just gross to me
+Louie Jones That'll happen sadly. Luckily there are plenty of other great bourbons
The Whiskey Dic yes there is. I like just about every thing for bottom shelf to top shelf. I use to drink nothing but Jack or crown when I had a bit more money lol but after years of drinking Jack and then jumping to single malt scotch Jack just doesn't taste good to me anymore.
+Louie Jones well yea! Scotch is a tough one to compete with. So much variety and complexity. They're all interesting
The Whiskey Dic oh yeah scotch has became my drink of choice when I have the extra money and I have a few bugget blends and bourbons when money is tight lol
Jack Daniels is overpriced
