This is not something you will often find reviewed on many whisky blogs. In fact it not something you will often find. This is the red headed (green labelled) step child of the Jack Daniel's family (it doesn't appear on the JD website at all). Some internet research suggests this is a younger (therefore cheaper) version of the traditional black label aimed at the "value" market. The nose is not that strong, but some familiar bourbonesque notes and vanilla. Not bad at all. The taste is light and quite smooth. More vanilla but nothing else really jumps out or jars. Gets a little bitter in the finish, chocolate, burnt coffee and toasted oak. If there is an off note then it is in the finish. Overall not that bad and if you are going to mix your JD with cola anyway you might want to save a few bucks and go green.
