It was a fun experience but I've never had that again.

That's likely a good thing...

@scooter I’ve never tried any of those,but have heard nothing but great things about all of them. Especially the 12 yr. For my personal tastes,the sweet spot for bourbon, tends to be 7-10 years old. After that they can be a bit too oakie/oaky for my taste. Having said that, The Elijah Craig 18 is one of my all time favorites. I felt that the Knob Creek 14 was a bit too oaky for me. How would you rate these on their oakiness level?

If you can handle EC18, you can certainly handle KC12. It's a far less pricey pour, as well. Honestly, the KC12 is #2 of my "always on hand" Bourbons.

As far as oak goes, I brought a bottle of the new Jack Daniels Heritage Toasted to a friend's place for Thanksgiving. It's a lovely pour. But, it's definitely oak heavy. Personally, I find the oak influence of the KC18 and KC21 less offensive. If memory serves, you are a fan of Woodford Double Oaked. I have the same opinion of that comparison, too...

@scooter it definitely is a good thing

Posted this in reference to the polar bear shot and the reaction of it since they are so similar

Good to the last drop. A fine pairing with some Chipotle on taco Tuesday

Unpopular opinion maybe, black russians are better than white.

Right off the bat you have to forget that this is Jack Daniels. As you can see from the barrel entry date and the bottling date this one is 8 years old to the day. Nice amount of oakiness. Very drinkable. I found it for $64. MSRP is $70 Keep your eyes out for it.
