  2. Whiskey Sho(r)t – Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Toasted Barrel QuickTaste

    Whiskey Sho(r)t – Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Toasted Barrel QuickTaste

    Video with bonus cocktail: https://youtu.be/toVg2ru7qck So many barrels, so little time. Join us as we taste a recent JD expression that, although it didn’t make the Final Pour of this year’s Madness Tournament (just a few podcasts back), it impressed us enough that we thought we’d do a full evaluation of it. We also made our first full tasting video on YouTube (linked above) so you can see our faces AND watch us taste a bonus cocktail made with the whiskey. But is the Heritage Barrel worth the higher price over their regular single barrels? Press play and find out!
