    Why Jack Daniel's Bonded Is Better Than You Expect

    Dave and H taste Jack Daniel's Bonded (released May 2022), compare it to the classic JD No.7, and share tasting notes of dark chocolate, fruit & nut and banana on the nose and palate. They agree this bonded expression drinks nicely neat and highlights the higher proof character. The episode explains the Bottled‑in‑Bond law (1897) and its rules: one distilling season, one distiller, one distillery, a minimum of four years aging in bonded warehousing, and bottling at 100 proof. They discuss historic bonded warehouses and what the designation means for quality and consistency. Dave and H also unpack the Tennessee whiskey distinction — the Lincoln County Process (maple charcoal filtering) — and how it relates to bourbon.

The episode also explores the bottle's story: how Maker's Mark finishes select barrels in a cool cellar to slow oak influence, the limited annual release, memories of visits to Kentucky, and why this expression is considered a standout value worth seeking out in duty-free or at festivals.
