Jack Danielโs first major line extension in 1988, Gentleman Jackโs double charcoal mellowing makes it an exceptionally smooth - albeit less interesting - drinking experience.
Gentleman Jack is a perfect balance of vanilla, caramel, and oak that lands squarely on the sweet, easy-drinking side. Fans of low proof bourbons (such as Basil Haydenโs as an example of a bourbon that others often refer to as their go-to) should find a lot to like with Gentleman Jack. Because it has less of the quintessential Jack Danielโs flavor notes, those who may not care for the standard Jack might find something to like as well. For bourbon enthusiasts on the other hand, Gentleman Jack offers little to get excited about. Itโs a good reminder that not all whiskeys were made for you, but also one to have on hand for guests who are looking for a smooth, easy-drinking pour.
Gentleman Jack was Jack Danielโs first major line extension back in 1988. At that time, American whiskey was perceived much differently than it is currently, fighting vodka for just a little bit of shelf space with nowhere near the surge of popularity itโs seeing today.
Gentleman Jack undergoes the same Lincoln County Process (charcoal mellowing) as standard Jack Danielโs after distillation and before barrelling, at which point there is still no distinction between the two whiskeys. The second charcoal mellowing, which takes place after aging but before bottling, is what makes Gentleman Jack different from standard Jack Danielโs.
The process is considered a subtractive process, removing harsh impurities with the intent of making the whiskey more โsmooth.โ Along with the impurities, the process also removes color and flavor. While many whiskeys are filtered through charcoal after aging in barrels, the extent to which Gentleman Jack is charcoal mellowed a second time after aging isnโt a common practice.
The resulting whiskey is very smooth, as the bottle suggests with the phrase โUltimate Smoothnessโ written in gold on the top of its black cap. At 80 proof itโs more full-flavored than I expected compared to most 80 proof whiskeys, however it is still very light. A nice balance of caramel, vanilla, and oak, it will have a wide appeal to those who want to sip whiskey but want to keep it light. Unfortunately, it is less characteristically โJackโ than its standard Old No. 7 counterpart, which makes it less interesting for someone who wants to explore a bit further and contemplate what theyโre drinking.
Well worth the extra, Gentleman Jack is charcoal-mellowed twice, before and after the ageing process, resulting in a cleaner, more refined end product. Packaged in a smart monogram-esque bottle.
โInspired by the original gentleman distiller and our founder, Gentleman Jack undergoes a second charcoal mellowing to achieve exceptional smoothness. Its balanced flavor is perfect for celebrating lifeโs extraordinary occasions, plus all the moments along the way.โ
NOSE
Soft vanilla and caramel mingle with summer fruit, light oak, and a touch of banana. A small dab of maple syrup in the background offers additional sweetness. The overall aroma is pleasant and familiar, but lacks enough punch to make a lasting impression.
PALATE
Subtle banana is followed by a soft wash of sweet flavors - caramel, vanilla custard, honey, brown sugar, and oak. The delivery is very even, and as suggested by the writing on the bottle, smooth. While not intense, the overall depth of flavor is more than the whiskeyโs 80 proof suggests, offering a surprising amount of structure behind the sweetness.
FINISH
The whiskeyโs even-keel nature overflows into the finish with just a touch of spice accenting lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, and honey. As the flavors fade, a nice, sweet aftertaste remains. While itโs short and leaves little to contemplate, the finish is just as agreeable as the rest of the sip.
