Jack Daniel’s Rested Rye – Batch 002 | 750ml | Limited Release
Discover a unique chapter in American whiskey-making with Jack Daniel’s Rested Rye – Batch 002. As part of Jack Daniel’s experimental rye series, this limited release offers an intriguing glimpse into how rye whiskey evolves over time. Crafted from the same grain bill as their Unaged Rye, this expression has spent several quiet years maturing in new American white oak barrels, gradually transforming into a spirit of smooth complexity and gentle warmth.
Unlike most rye whiskeys that push bold spice upfront, Rested Rye walks a different path. It strikes a fascinating balance between youthful energy and oaky maturity. Every sip reveals the mellowing influence of toasted oak, soft vanilla, and delicate fruit, layered over the signature rye grain character that whiskey lovers crave.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance:
Light golden yellow – reminiscent of sun-aged parchment or the worn edge of an antique novel. - Nose:
Gently sweet aromas of old-time candy shops, cherry blintzes, and a touch of pipe tobacco. A subtle backdrop of creamy dairy adds depth. - Palate:
Smooth and lightly sweet with notes of cherry cordial, vanilla cream, and hints of cinnamon. There’s a nostalgic warmth to its flavor – think handmade pastries and a touch of spice from the rye. - Finish:
Clean, slightly drying, and softly spiced. Oak lingers with a hint of cherry pit and faded vanilla.
