All you Jack Daniels drinkers answer me a question

[billyboyr6]

i picked up a bottle of JD that was labled Scenes from Lynchburg, (not scenes from nashville like i originaly posted). It was a little more pricey then regular old no.7 so i figured it was a single barel, limited run or just something different so i bought it. So now im just trying to look up what it actually is and having no luck. All i can find is that its a bottle collectors #ed set and mine is # 7 of the 11 or 12 bottle collection. Bottled for sale in 2005. I can not find any info on the actual whisky. The ABV is 43 vs regular jack which is only 40 so its not just a different label.

Anyone have a clue? I have not opened it yet, as my luck would be it was extremly rare and worth a mint and i opened it making it worthless.

Proof of 43 sound low for JD unless it's some sort of blend with something else.

Sorry its 86 proof and 43 %abv. That was my mistake. Thinking one thing and typing another.

Maybe he editted the OP after you posted, but it's listed as ABV of 43%.

Most higher end versions of commercial whiskeys are a little higher in proof. Don't know if there's technical reason for that or just marketing.

OP, if you'll check again, I think you'll find that the bottle is a Scenes from Lynchburg series. A quick look up shows that these are nice collectors items. One site in the UK has your particular bottle listed as going for almost 80 pounds. That's about $150, (even though they have a lot of taxes added on). If it were mine, I would put it on a shelf and not crack it. Get a bottle of Gentleman Jack for everyday drinking and let the collectible sit.

i swear i hadnt even had a drink yet. Lmao. Yes you are correct sir it is Scenes from Lynchburg. I have gentleman jack, single barel jack and about a dozen other top shelf bottles of burbon on the shelf already as well. I think i will leave this one sealed but im still curious as to whats actually in it. Ive had it for about a year now and just happen to pick it up and get to thinking.

I found that page in my search as well, but it dosent give any info on the actual whisky. Being a whisky drinker i want to know what the base of the mash is wheather its a corn base, or a rye base. I want to know how long it was aged for. That is the type of info im looking for and havent been able to find.

To Jack guys,go to ebay,and type in Belle of Lincoln.

Jack... ehhh.

Jack... ehhh.

I have the same thought. At least it's not flavored.

Occasionally, I do have a tipple of JD, but it's rare these days.

Jack... ehhh.

Jack is what most women prefer in their whiskey!

I honestly never understood all the hype about JD.

 

[Brandon]

JD is ok but expensive for what it is in my books.
I still would like to go to the distillery and take the tour.

 

[trucker777]

Meh, whisky is pointless if you just keep it on shelf and look at it. Someone might buy it from you later, or maybe it is worth something... then again - whisky is pointless if just kept on display on a shelf -

Ditto. I think it's just easy to say and remember. When it comes to Tennessee sipping whiskey, I prefer George Dickel 12.
