Jack's New Look.

[StraightNoChaser]

I really like the new label. It's fresh and simple. It's still just as eye catching and iconic as the previous label. Now the bottle... I'm not so sure about that. I like the old bottle with the rounded edges.

Cluttered or not, I like the old label better. I like the rounded shoulders of the old bottle better, too.

I came up with an excellent vatting: 1 part each Jack Green, Early Times Bourbon and Jeremiah Weed Blended Bourbon.

Looks like a classic 1+1+1=5 sitation. How do you even begin to dream these combinations up Gary?

I think I like the new label, but not the new bottle.

The green label is a less mature whiskey. they pick the slower aging barrels from the bottom floors and center of the warehouses to use for the GL.

Do we have a source for the warehouse location claim other than tour guides? I'm not saying tour guides spread misinformation, but, well, I guess I am.

Reid, thanks: the sum truly is more than its parts. Here's my logic. I'm sitting in a hotel room in St. Augustine. I've got a half-pint of JD Green Label, some Early Times bourbon, and the Jeremiah Weed Blended Bourbon. The JD is a little corn/woody; the Early Times ditto but with more traditional bourbon character; and the Weed has that tea flavor overlay on a fairly mild bourbon/GNS base. So I figure the slight tea sweetness will meld the straight whiskeys in all of these, plus the straights just taste better when their elemental attributes are combined.

It so happens that's all I had in the room, but still I used a certain logic or such as it is.

The better half comes back in the evening and I serve it to her. "This is really good, what is it"? Earlier, she had the JD Green and Early Times on their own: no complaints, but no comments either. So I figured it was excellent, on this basis and my own tasting of course.

I don't understand the question.

Surely you don't drink it.

Jimmy Bedford, late JD master distiller, told me the same thing.

That's where my info came from...the man himself.
