Personally, I really enjoy the Jack Daniel’s Bonded. In my opinion, it’s more than just a higher proof version of Old No. 7. The standard 80 proof JD is fine for an entry level bourbon, but I think of it as a mixer in the same category as Jim Beam white label or Evan Williams black label. JD Bonded is so much more interesting on the nose, palate, and finish. For $30-35 for a 700 ml, depending on where you live, it’s a great bourbon that’s found a permanent spot in my regular rotation.

The bonded is delicious. Jack always has a special place on my shelf and in my heart.

honestly it makes the single barrel expression overvalued, these taste just as good, can’t wait for store picks of them

Kudos to JD upping their game at approachable prices. Rare these days

Trying the Bonded for the first time as I watch this, and holy cow it is smooth. I don't normally like to use that expression, but the Bonded Tenn. whiskey has no burn whatsoever. Not on the palate, not as it goes down, and none on the finish. I get all of the classic JD notes, and some oak on the finish, but this whiskey has no bite whatsoever. Just to make sure my taste buds and pain receptors aren't dead, I'm following it up with a 131.5 proof JD Barrel Proof, and the difference is night and day. The Barrel Proof burns on the tongue, burns in the finish, and has a completely different flavor profile. I would say that the Bonded is good for when you want an easy drinker, and the Barrel Proof is for when you want something that packs a punch.

Sara's nosing/tasting notes are awesome! Very helpful. Love you guys. Keep doing what you do

Love that banana note and have enjoyed a few bottles of the JD Sinatra but, now that Sinatra is hitting shelves at $199 (a liter), this Bonded variant tastes almost the same as Sinatra... albeit a slightly higher proof and while lacking a bit of the super smoothness the Sinatra has. For me, an easy bottle to find at $30 is going to beat a very similar tasting bottle at $200 bucks, every time. Goodbye Frank, hello Bonded. (And yes, the JD single barrel is still a great one too)

The Bonded is very good. The Triple Mash is outstanding.

JD's barrel proof is a stunner, talk about power and complexity, its over the top-- and a 375ml size if you don't want to go all- in, what's not to Love ❤

I always have my #7 in the cabinet. When they came out with the bonded I bought a bottle took and poured the bonded in a half full bottle of #7. Perfect. Taste like the 1960s 90pf. Glad I saved a lot of # 7 1 liter bottles. I have 6 full bottles of this mixture in 1 ltr #7 bottles now. Jack heaven.

I never drank anything else in my life besides JD. Old no7 and Tennessee rye if strictly for jack and cokes. All the higher end jack is for neat and shots. Putting the 130 proof barrel select jack in cola should be a class A felony 😂

The Bonded is crazy good. Like what I'd expect No. 7 to be like when it was a higher proof.

Sooo happy to see the Ironroot Republic t-shirt. I live about an hour from the distillery. I've got a barrel pick Harbinger, and 3 other LEs if you're interested in samples.

I like that they added the bonded offerings, but I still prefer paying a bit more for the single barrel selects.

I bought the JD Bonded yesterday and have to say I'm absolutely a fan so far. I don't normally like Jack all that much, and it's not even like it doesn't taste like Jack at all. It's just that it tastes like a better version of Jack. And that alone makes it taste unique vs. other bourbons (let alone TN whiskeys), and why I plan to make it a long-term part of my bar. Cheers!

Thanks for the video 🥃 I have a long list of Bourbons that I'm planning on trying easier for me to just buy a glass and sample one at a time. Because there are so few that I really enjoy but I'm not giving up on them & adding 2 more for the list 👍🏻

Picked both of these up today and I’m looking forward to cracking them open tonight

First video I’ve seen of y’all and absolutely love the format! Easy subscribe for sure 👍

Kids, I'm trying to talk myself out of getting the Jack Bonded - you're not helping ;-O

Just found both of them today and had to sample each. I’m partial to the Bonded myself, but they’re both great! Super smooth.

Great review!! I’m starting to really enjoy the banana note. Agree with Sara, need more!

I had not bought a Jack Daniel's product since my early 20s. I was pleasantly surprised with both. I had OF 100 recently and JD Bonded was very similar. The Triple Mash is unique to itself but in a good way!

Thanks for the info. Have the OF 100 & never had the JD Bonded, but if they are similar, like you say, will stick to OF 100 at $42.99 for 1.75L. Why pay $34.99 for 700mL JD, even if it was $30? Do have a bottle of the JD Bonded Rye that is same price & bottle, but don't think I will get another. OF Rye is $26-28 for 1L. Almost all JD products are over-priced, except maybe some of the barrel proof stuff.

Just picked up a couple bottles of the Bonded yesterday and for $30ish it’s a great bottle! Love the vids as always you guys 😁🥃

Here in NC where all the prices are state controlled, these bottles took a fairly big jump in price from May to June… they went from 30 and 33 to 36 and 40. I wish I had picked them up last month hahaha… but a few extra bucks won’t kill me. I grabbed the Triple Mash because it intrigued me the most. And i gotta say, it’s really good for 100 proof at 40 bucks. It does have the Brown Forman/JD banana note on the nose, but it isn’t as prominent as it is on the JDSBs, JD, and Gent Jack. The palate is super sweet up front… like vanillas, cotton candy, sweet tarts (without the sour), and bubble gum… but then the baking spices and peppermint kick in on the back of the palate and finish. I am shocked by how easy this is to drink because of how the sweet (almost perfume-y without being floral) notes and a finish that isn’t too long. There are some oak flavors present, but it’s mostly banana, vanilla, candy, and spice. I’d recommend the JD Triple Mash any day to anyone. Oh and Chad, for what it’s worth, I was like “why is he pouring the Triple Mash into the Bonded glass?” I hope you enjoyed that blend (of a blend hahaha) off screen.

These both cost in the $60 Canadian range, I finally scored a triple mash last week and it is a titch hot but for a rye, it is really good. serve it with an ice cube to cool it down and enjoy.

Been trying to get my hands on the international Bonded release for a while, apparently it's a tad harder to bring one of those back from Mexico than you'd think 🤷‍♂️. Glad to see this is an easier option. I think an OF/JD flight fight would be awesome.

just picked up the triple mash on lunch cant wait to try it mine was 36 bucks near nashville

You two are the first I've seen to like the Triple Mash more than the straight bonded and I'm in the same camp. Love how different and unique it tasted and totally agree with Sara that I would not have believed it was Jack. I think these would be great introductions to higher proof whiskeys and expanding your palate for Old No. 7 fans so if they want to bring more people into their SB, SBBP, special releases, etc., these are a super smart addition to their line-up.

Fred Minnick is very very impressed with the Triple Mash. I'm still waiting to find it locally.

I stumbled on JD BIB at my local. I couldn’t help trying it as I usually will any BIB. It reminds me of a cross between a refined No. 7 and a less complex OF 1910. It’s worth a try even if you can’t stand old No. 7.

Been drinking JD for meany years also collecting it. Right now I'm on the bonded and it's a pretty decent drink, not as harsh as no7 it's definitely a sipping whisky. I also got a bottle of 107% proof on the go. My faves are are silver selecte and single barrel.

As a JD fan, I can’t wait to pick these up when I see them

love Bonded so good..

Love the Ironroot Republic t-shirt! Perhaps more Ironroot reviews in the future?

I found the triple mash, absolutely outstanding. I cannot find the bonded anywhere.

OF 100, OF 1910, and OF 1920 Fan here. Yes do a Flight Nite with the JD and OF Products please.

Im curious how these would do in mixed drinks.

I think you guys started way before this review. That's OK and fun to watch. Jim Beam and let's do a Triple Mash Bonded blend. You could have edited it out but it's better in...

The Bond is my favorite of all JD. Not really a fan of the triple mash. My grandma mother would use to make bourbon that tasted like triple mash from scratch. Trying the triple mash brought up a lot of memories.

I don't like Jack Daniel's standard release (and HATE the Gentleman Jack version). I loved the Jack Daniel's Bonded. Weird what a difference barrel selection and proof can make. I picked up the Triple Mash at the same time and look forward to trying it as well.

Going to blind the bottle and bond jack vs old tub. Old tub 19.99 750 and jack daniels bonded 35.00 700.

All standard mashbill JD products 100 proof or higher taste like Banana Foster, and I love em. I don't have Old Forester 100 at the moment but JD Bonded and it are very similar. I think the JD bonded edges it out in a blind if I had to guess.

The prices aren't quite as impressive when we consider that both are 700 ml bottles, not the standard 750 ml.

@riverwalker2173

I concur. Should be priced a few bucks cheaper considering I can get a similar tasting Old Forester 100 proof (750ml) for $9 less ( in my area) and 50ml more juice to boot.

Crazy, but in Michigan $45 state minimum and in stores about $50 for BiB 1L bottle. So far I'm not fan yet. I'll let this bottle to seat for couple of weeks.

how does it compare to the single barrel 94 proof?

@@ItsBourbonNight All you gotta do is email Jack Daniel's/Brown Forman, they'll tell you. If you do, also ask how the triple mash can be bottled-in-bond. Watched your episode with Bernie Lubbers & he said Bonded has to be the same class of materials. Maybe that means any whiskey, but pretty sure he said that it can't be a blend of different types of whiskey.

My thoughts on the Triple Mash are that it’s like a baby JDSBBP…. Time for a blind tasting….

And how allocated will these be just like the 10-year...

It's a possibility for sure! The 10-year did have "limited release" or something to that effect on its label and these are supposed to be a permeant addition to the line, so I would think they'll be easier to find (after the new-ness wears off), but who knows. We'll have to wait and see!

I haven't had the triple yet, but the bonded wasn't great for me. It drank hotter than 100 proof IMO, and given how good the single barrel barrel proof is and how easily I can find it for $60 I don't have room on my shelf for bonded. That said, I'm not throwing it out :). Just because I feel it's not worth it by comparison doesn't mean I don't like it, just not nearly as much. FWIW the bonded was $40-50 around me in MA, but lots of it at the 4-5 liquor stores I've been to.

Why are they only 700 ml bottles and not 750 ml??

Boy, Chad, were you about to get pummeled in the comments for that "pour faux pas" Shoulda tried it and told us how it blended. Not really a Quadruple Mash but hey!

Have you noticed the prices on these creeping up? I think they have been such popular sellers that retailers know they can up charge. Both these are now hitting the 34 to 35 ish price point not a huge difference but annoying nonetheless

Jack Daniels is absolutely not my favorite in any way. The SB is ok (in my opinion) and the SBBP is better but not worth the price (again, in my opinion). I haven’t tried either of the offerings you are reviewing here. However, I certainly will, based on your reviews. Both being under $40 makes the decision to give them a shot a no brainer. I must say that the 100 proof should definitely help.

For us, we've found Jack Daniel's starts around the mid 90s proof and goes up. We've liked the 10 year, these two bottled-in-bonds, the single barrels, and the single barrel barrel proofs. There's obviously room for the 80 proof stuff because it sells the best of any American Whiskey, and that's great, whatever floats ya boat.

As if old No 7 wasn't glue-like enough, we proudly present Jack Daniels Bonded. Jim Beam is better than this industrial solvent.

I've just recently added these two to my wish list, with some trepidation since Jack black is definitely at the bottom end of drinkable bourbon. It's nice to know that my decision, based on things I've come across here and there, has potential. Of course whisky tasting is highly subjective, but it sounds like I might actively like these two...whenever I get to 'em. So much whisky, so little time... 🥲
