Jack Daniel's 1914 London England Gold Medal, 2001, 45%

The palate’s rich caramel and vanilla have a clear counterpoint in toasted oak, and the notes describe the result as extremely rich yet balanced. That contrast is what makes the character appealing to me: sweetness is present, but it is not presented as the only point of interest. The finish is described as long and delicate, with a smooth, lingering quality that suits a measured close. The aroma is called delightful, while the clearest detail comes through in the palate and finish.
