An episode of The Whisk(e)y Vault hosted at Whisky Marketing School in Austin, TX. Today we talk about Gentleman Jack from the Jack Daniels Distillery.
Man walks out of a pub in Scotland to find an elderly gentleman fishing in a puddle outside. The man watches for a few mins and starts to feel sorry for the elderly gentlemen so he takes him inside the pub and buys him a few drams of scotch. After a while, the man decides to indulge the elderly gentlemen and asks him how many he caught outside in the puddle. The gentlemen looks at him and says, "you're the 8th one today".
I still love how they sniff a glass of whiskey and get an oaky cherry cinnamon vanilla french bread tone I sniff a glass Im like Im geting a definite alcohol tone!!
@@usthem7172 It's all a matter of getting used to it. When I first drank whiskey it was pure alcohol in the smell and taste, but nowadays I can pick out a lot.
@@usthem7172 My girlfriend just turned 21, and she says all 40% alcohol smeels like nail polish. Granted she doesn't drink at all. You're probably still drinking the bud light. I don't get all the different smeels that they get... I get 1-2 things max can smell from a whiskey, but it's subjective XD don't hate that you can't smell past the alcohol. If anything you probably have your nose too close to the glass!
I like Gentleman Jack. A lot of Whiskey drinkers say it's basically No 7, only everything is more muted. And honestly, that's exactly what I was looking for in this Whiskey. JD No 7 taste, but smoother and with less burn.
I love how you say 'this channel is more for content, content for the whisky school' then you went on to spend 13 minutes actually avoiding talking about whisky and instead having random banter with each other! But then again as a new whisky drinker this is exactly why I subscribed :)
Honestly I just found this channel a few weeks ago. I love it. I'm not a (big) drinker, but I admire a love of things that you guys show, and you're pretty hilarious to boot. Love seeing yalls videos as a result.
I tried gentleman's Jack twice. I prefer to regular Jack. I thought it was a better whiskey before they lowered the alcohol content though. Been branching out and trying a lot more variety lately and I give the credit to this channel. Fine job you guys are doing and doing it in a very entertaining way. Thanks :-) One of my new favorite is McKenna 10 year. It's lovely.
I typically agree with both you guys, but gentleman jack is one of my all time favorite whiskeys. I find it to be very complex, though subtle... it’s a whiskey that everyone I go back to it I find new more new things then I do in others that I routinely drink.
Side note, You are now hearing from me, because I have spent my "use it or lose it vacation to binge watch and drink multiple bottles of whisky. Love you guys, no homo. Fellow Texan.
Hey, I just wanted to tell you guys that you are making awesome content. I'm not much of a whisky drinker, but you've very much sparked my interest, and I think I'm going to start trying more whiskeys. I discovered you guys through the modern rogue, and have now been systemically watching all the videos on this channel. You may benefit from making some "whiskey for noobs" sort of videos, like you did for modern rogue, as it might help expand your viewerbase beyond just hardcore whiskey enthusiasts to more people like me.
If you go to the distillery in Lynchburg, TN, you'll get to see the entire process from how they make the charcoal and the spring they take the water from, to touring a barrel house. Go on a weekday, when the stills are operating... Best factory tour I've taken.
I just bought some Gentleman Jack to carry in my flask, I thought it would be suitable since it's so mellow+uncomplicated, since it seems like the vessel of the flask doesn't give beverages the chance to be exposed to much air and open up. I thought it was more than drinkable! What other whiskeys do you guys think are flask-friendly?
Great review! As I've started to learn more and appreciate whisk(e)y more over the past couple of years, I've developed an appreciation of JD old #7. Sipped with a piece of ice, it's very smooth and simple. Great sipper on a Summer evening. (I get over-ripe banana every time?) Anyway, I agree with your thoughts on Gentleman Jack. I tried it a few weeks ago and thought that it lost something when compared to #7. More of an alcohol taste and less of the sweetness, banana etc. Probably best mixed IMO. Anyway, love your reviews.
living next to Lynchburg my whole life, I have drank a lot of jack and you are so right that gentleman looses that classic vanilla sweet tone that No. 7 has
I've tried a few whiskeys including scotch and Irish and what have you and I come back to Gentleman Jack just for something I know that's okay it's safe. And I can enjoy it with friends who are. Whiskey connoisseurs.
I love coming back to the older videos. Daniel and Rex are a masterclass in how to grow a TH-cam following: passionate about their interest, care about the community, keep making content regardless of initial numbers. And it’s certainly paid off!
Found this channel through modern rogue, you guys are awesome. Have you guys tried Glendronach 12 year? I got it for my birthday last year and it's now one of my favourite whiskys
You used my comment for an episode?!?! Excuse me while I freak the hell out! xD Very interesting that I accidentally stumbled upon an easy to drink, entry level whiskey! Edit: Also, nicely done of the pronunciation!
Yes this is Whiskey with training wheels. However it is good and has put many on the path. I have found that if you want to sit down to do a multiple tasting you must start with this first as the second pass through the charcoal makes it so lightly flavored I can't taste much after sampling practically anything else.
Another great episode. My wife picked me up a Jack Daniels taster set that included Gentleman Jack. Going to give it a shot this weekend. Quick question about something you mentioned very briefly... should you always remove all the foil from the bottle neck? Thanks again!
Hey, congrats on the amazing channel. Now I have a question, why there is so much hate on Jack Daniel's whiskeys? I enjoy it every time I drink it as well as other whisk(e)ys (And, yes, I prefer some over others, but that's just subjective).
Daniel - did the new glasses perfirm better or worse than the Glencairn. Im thinking of investing in some Glencairns to help my journey from the very start so wonder if they are the better choice over other glassware still. Also where do i get my hands on the tasting notes you have showed before. Cheers Russ
Definitely start with Glencairn. on the notes, are you talking about the notebook? I can tell you that one of my favorite deductive tasting sheets to use is the one by Whiskeysmiths whiskeysmiths.com/whisky-deductive-tasting/
Hey Daniel Son and Rex I love this channel and i thank both you for broadening my horizons. I was wondering if you could review Woodford reserve double oak? Cheers from Australia
Visited Prichard's a few years back and met Phil. AWESOME guy, top-notch establishment. Did you say he wasn't working there anymore? Who's running the joint then?! SWEEEEEEEEEEEET LUCY! You also forgot to mention the coolest thing about Prichard's . . . they're a RUM distillery in Tennessee!!! :D
i feel so proud Daniel said he senses maple i just bought a glen cairn glass and poured the only whisk(e)y i have at the moment which is gentleman jack and i got nothing but maple at least on the smell taste i dont have enough pattern recall to recognize what i actually taste i am absolutely new to whisk(e)y tasting and the appreciation of whisk(e)y i have always mixed my whiskery with coke and stuff like that but im excited that what i smelled was actually somewhat correct
Drink everytime Daniel says charcoal. Bought this and an aberlour 10 tonight, I agree that its a two note pony, i get salted peanuts and toffee. It's a nice smooth sipper, i dont hate it or anything, but I don't think id buy it again. Nice for to try if you haven't before.
You guys should definitely do a review on military special, I feel a little wrong for making that request but it might be worth sending a bottle just for the commentary.
Gentleman Jack looses the oak but gains bit more dark fruit flavours with banana, maple, vanilla sweetness. GJ is simple and as a quick finish but less harsh and more smooth and refined than number 7. Good sipping whiskey though I like number 7 also. Less chemical taste than number 7 but still there.
I love No. 7 but I can’t drink it often neat. It is on my bar for Jack and Cokes which I enjoy several nights a week. I also have a bottle of Gentleman that I do drink neat. I really enjoy it but I also have not been around the block so to speak. I also have a bottle of Proper 12 for my Irish side. I know that makes me a simpleton but I enjoy it as well.
hey guys. do you have connemara in the vault? bc i know that danny likes irish whiskeys and i like it for combining the irish potstill taste with smoke. rex will drink it anyway so i dont have to convince him. great video btw
Since I just watched the whiskey glass episode and clearly you're not worried about being called snobs, Riedel is pronounced Reed-ol'. No "i" in the pronunciation. Love the channel, keep 'em coming. - A fellow glass snob.
Hey Daniel! I was wondering if you could make an episode, talking about aging your own whisk(e)y at home, either in a small barrel or by using chips... You mentioned that you'd aged your own moonshine, and it would be interesting to hear your comments pro/con Cheers!
I just found a bottle of Prichard's Tennessee Malt Whiskey in my local store. I haven't opened it yet. I wondered how you think it measures up to the Single Malt? The Tennessee Malt is only 40 proof....but it is only $22.
I tried it tonight. The nose was initially off-putting. The first couple sips were not favorably impressive. From the third sip, however, I began to have a real appreciation for this whisky. It is one of the most unique flavours I've experienced. It is definitely malty! I declare it a winner, in my opinion. I'm eager to see what oxidation does to the juice!
Holy cow! I didn't know until you said it that MOtorhead was involved with Mackmyra Swedish whisky. Love it. Who knows if it's good, but I'd drink anything Lemmy was involved in.
Would love to here yall's opinion on one of the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel whiskey. I personally love the Barrel Proof version. Loving the videos keep it up!
I hope you all can do a review of larceny bourbon if you haven’t already. It’s what exposed me to whiskey and it is my favorite bourbon. Also, if you haven’t reviewed Dunsmore Irish whiskey, I would love to hear your opinions.
I live in an apartment, with limited counter/kitchen space. What would you recommend (on the cheap) that I can store my lovely, delicious whiskey in? They are precious to me.
Was really curious about the review for this one. I've had around 7 whiskeys shown on this channel so far and this was the first one I really didn't enjoy. Tasted like magic markers to me. Figure I'll just keep it around for cocktails.
This is an excelent video, i've just started drinking whiskey and Gentleman Jack was my first. Dude, is it great! I've got some Jim Beam now and Old no7. Where do I move next, now? Cheers from brazil!
Igor Arruda Hey Igor, I also started out on GJ. I think this review is exactly(!) spot on and I guess that’s why it’s a good beginners whiskey. Because it’s so smooth, doesn’t really have a bite to it, only has 1 note, watery (why am I repeating the review!?). Anyway the only other bourbon that I’ve found similar is Jim Beam Double Oak. Try that next. And stay away from Wild Turkey ... Anyway that’s just my personal taste. Have fun trying out all the American whiskies you can find. Cheers from South Africa. PS: Thanks for an awesome channel guys. Don’t know why I haven’t subscribed before this because I find that when I want a good review of a whiskey I keep on coming back to you guys.
Gid Keane hey Gid, thanks for the tip. I'll look for the double barrel next. Maybe later move on to some scotch. If I find a Dalmore with a good price I guess I'll take it. Their reviews are awesome, I'm glad I found this channel. Cheers my friend.
Who cares about the views, the knowledge here is awesome. My buddy just drove into town from 3 hours away, just to spend 300 bucks on booze recommended by this channel. Fucking awesome.
We have! We even did a tasting comparison in one of the videos. I like the way it makes things smell, but I'm not a fan of how wide and rounded the mouth edge is. Totally personal preference.
the lip takes getting used to for sure. I agree it opened it up quite a bit. I wanted it to be more weighted though, it is a bit too light. I like it when my glasses can be used as a weapon as well as a whisky glass.
Hhahaha. Watching this a year later since I was going back to look at some of the reviews. I just joined a few months ago, so I was curious if about some reviews. It might be interesting, if you ever run a little dry on content, to see you go back and review a few whiskies from a year or more past. I know I have found different whiskies have different tastes now that I have exposed the palate to other whiskies, plus have been working on cooking at home a lot more over the last year. For instance, I get more honeysuckle and floral on Bushmills then I used to. Or Tullamore Dew (a favorite) tastes sweeter and gets more honey notes to it then when I first started. Just thought I might share that even old content still gets watched sometimes! Cheers!
Its specifically made to be more smooth with less nuance. There is nothing wrong with that, but someone who hasn't tried it should be aware that they won't get something that is bursting with way more flavor than regular Jack.
I started the video, heard the word "alright" and then attempted to hit the full screen button.... I hit the end of the play bar and the first thing I heard was "alright"
So does the Gentleman Jack tastes like Irish Greenspot, a smooth watered-down whiskey. ? Greenspot tasted like that to me, was not impressed by it, but it’s getting great reviews everywhere.
so those glasses....what's up with them? they look like a glencairn with less of a tulip shape, does that make them better for certain whiskeys? I'm pretty new to whiskey.
We tried a bunch of different glassware. I'm testing these. Jimmidrammer recommended them. I dig the way they feel. Heavier than the Glencairns. But I prefer the way the whisky experience is with the Glencairns.
I literally have my bar behind me and I am not drinking, but I feel like it. I like these guys, I like the rambling...but there should be just a little more reviewing. I love the look of all the whiskeys behind them it certainly gives them instant credibility. Okay, I'll watch one more.
Apparently gentleman jack and half mooching go hand in hand. I bought a bottle a few years back as a wedding gift, the bottle never made it to its intended recipient. instead I drank the entire bottle in one sitting after the wedding.
It's "eat the cake and have it too." Its about wanting to enjoy something that needs to be consumed to be enjoyed, but not wanting to lose that something through consumption
All I get is Banana flavored runts candy on the nose and minty eucalyptus when I take a sip. But I smelled the bottle after I watched the video and got the peanut butter. Maybe I'm using the wrong glass.
I love the fact that it's a Gentleman Jack video, but 90% of it is either talking about something else or drinking other whiskey. Lol. Although I am an avid fan of Jack, mainly because it is different and nobody else I knows likes it, I did try the Gentleman Jack at a bar and much preferred No. 7. It is smoother, but it seems to lose so much of the flavor that Jack's has. I need to send you guys a bottle of Barrel Proof Jack and see what you think.

Add a little water you’ll smell and taste more but lower the proof

U guys are the best whiskey channel on the TH-cam by the way!!!! Everything I want in life is comedy &a whiskey & u guys fulfill that !
Thanks! We find ourselves hilarious.

Thanks for watching! Always glad to have another join the ranks ;-) We'll work on some entry level whisky reviews and see what happens.
This channel should have more views just because these two are hilarious! Great comedy team.
Not really. They make long videos talking about meaningless bullshit and barely talk about the whiskey they're supposedly reviewing
Just came across this video looking up gentlemen jack.
You’ve just gained another subscriber.
If you go to the distillery in Lynchburg, TN, you'll get to see the entire process from how they make the charcoal and the spring they take the water from, to touring a barrel house. Go on a weekday, when the stills are operating...
Best factory tour I've taken.
What do you guys think of Evan Williams 1783 small batch? Great job.

Have you guys tried Glendronach 12 year? I got it for my birthday last year and it's now one of my favourite whiskys
Working on it!
I love that whisky

It's up to personal taste. I do, but there's no specific reason for it.
Boom. 101st thumbs up. Great video guys keep up the great work.
Guy on the left looks like a male version of Emma stone. If she was bald and bearded
Sorry I’m drunk
Other guy looks like ragnar
Ugh? Perish the thought - Emma Stone is one hot little redhead...
dude, he´s literally our father haha
Is this you trying to come out????? 😉
Hey, congrats on the amazing channel.
Now I have a question, why there is so much hate on Jack Daniel's whiskeys?
I enjoy it every time I drink it as well as other whisk(e)ys (And, yes, I prefer some over others, but that's just subjective).
Yeah, people love to shit on things they consider to be lowbrow. It's annoying, but a reality of marketing and perception.
Rex has been growing on me and in this video he has official won me over. I can now say, I no longer hate him!
Daniel - did the new glasses perfirm better or worse than the Glencairn. Im thinking of investing in some Glencairns to help my journey from the very start so wonder if they are the better choice over other glassware still. Also where do i get my hands on the tasting notes you have showed before. Cheers

Don't worry guys, you're so good, the subscribers will multiply...REALLY think you've got a GREAT approach...don't change a damn thing !
Hey Daniel Son and Rex I love this channel and i thank both you for broadening my horizons. I was wondering if you could review Woodford reserve double oak? Cheers from Australia
We can!
I second this! As well as a comparison with the distiller's select.
Visited Prichard's a few years back and met Phil. AWESOME guy, top-notch establishment. Did you say he wasn't working there anymore? Who's running the joint then?! SWEEEEEEEEEEEET LUCY! You also forgot to mention the coolest thing about Prichard's . . . they're a RUM distillery in Tennessee!!! :D
Great review. I always have a bottle of GJ in my cabinet, same goes w/ Buffalo Trace.
Both are great choices.
You guys are awesome !
Hello Daniel and Rex, will you do a review on that new JW Green 😉 on your shelf. My favorite of all JW core range. 🥃👌
It's coming soon!
I really like this channel!!!
Gentleman Jack. Found for 48$ online at a danish retailer :) Some places higher. Not bad if its any good :)
i feel so proud Daniel said he senses maple i just bought a glen cairn glass and poured the only whisk(e)y i have at the moment which is gentleman jack and i got nothing but maple at least on the smell taste i dont have enough pattern recall to recognize what i actually taste i am absolutely new to whisk(e)y tasting and the appreciation of whisk(e)y i have always mixed my whiskery with coke and stuff like that but im excited that what i smelled was actually somewhat correct

if you know any active duty military that's your best bet, its generally only available on base to military personnel.

Have you reviewed Jack Daniels Single Barrel (Barrel Proof) Tenessee Whiskey?
I was wondering the same thing - I couldn't find it on a TH-cam search.
I like this to be my first drink. Then Jack on the rocks if I want to drink Jack. Regular Jack tastes great once you're already tipsy
I just tried it. I get a straight up vanilla flavor.i could see maple syrup tho
I just found a bottle of Prichard's Tennessee Malt Whiskey in my local store. I haven't opened it yet. I wondered how you think it measures up to the Single Malt? The Tennessee Malt is only 40 proof....but it is only $22.

Hi could you guys do a review on the Motörhead whiskey. Is it just a expensive gimmick( in Norway it's about 60$) or is it actually a good whiskey?

We have! We even did a tasting comparison in one of the videos. I like the way it makes things smell, but I'm not a fan of how wide and rounded the mouth edge is. Totally personal preference.
the lip takes getting used to for sure. I agree it opened it up quite a bit. I wanted it to be more weighted though, it is a bit too light. I like it when my glasses can be used as a weapon as well as a whisky glass.
Daniel gets extra credit for the Dizzy Gillespie reference ("Salt Peanuts"); well done!
heck yes! Extra credit for knowing about the Pointer Sisters vocal version
I did not think I liked the bourbon, but when you showed up BASIL HAYDEN's I was sold.
Remi Andre' Pedersen I almost got basil but the gentleman caught my eye
As a jazz guy, totally got the salt peanuts reference
Hhahaha. Watching this a year later since I was going back to look at some of the reviews. I just joined a few months ago, so I was curious if about some reviews. It might be interesting, if you ever run a little dry on content, to see you go back and review a few whiskies from a year or more past. I know I have found different whiskies have different tastes now that I have exposed the palate to other whiskies, plus have been working on cooking at home a lot more over the last year. For instance, I get more honeysuckle and floral on Bushmills then I used to. Or Tullamore Dew (a favorite) tastes sweeter and gets more honey notes to it then when I first started. Just thought I might share that even old content still gets watched sometimes! Cheers!
Extra smooth whiskey! Easy drinker neat! Cheer's
Daniel, I love your beard
dear guy's
i have a question,

Greetings Tom
Thanks for watching!

Great Tennessee whiskey right there. There's just something about Jack Daniels. Have you guys been to the distillery?
I haven't, but I know our friend, Tom Fischer has! We'll make a point of it.
I fucking love these guys. Nice intro
We love you too.
I drink this and compared to regular No. 7 this is like liquid silk
Its specifically made to be more smooth with less nuance. There is nothing wrong with that, but someone who hasn't tried it should be aware that they won't get something that is bursting with way more flavor than regular Jack.
Liquid silk ..Ya ...
But not the notes you have in the Jack Daniels ....
Original is far better.....
@Faqyur Ma'ama Nah...
I like how you tried new glasses when I think this is the first episode you actually have a full shelf of the Glencairn glasses.
very true
Damn is Triplecap here too, that guy gets everywhere. ;)
Close to teaching real life skills kudos guys ;)
I cannot begin to explain how hard it is to focus on your video while I'm already sauced.
Looking forward to the new channel, more bear in bar jokes, more Dan the Man, and... well okay... that other guy. ;
And I was just about to gift you a crate of free whiskey... ridiculous.
Lmao! I like your Dizzy Gillespie Salt Peanuts quote
nailed it! Although, in my head, I was hearing the Pointer Sisters version

when do we get to see Daniel on the drums?
Only in the buck-naked native drumming circle held on the eve of every full solar eclipse.
I started the video, heard the word "alright" and then attempted to hit the full screen button.... I hit the end of the play bar and the first thing I heard was "alright"
Was there a new channel launched?
So does the Gentleman Jack tastes like Irish Greenspot, a smooth watered-down whiskey. ?
Greenspot tasted like that to me, was not impressed by it, but it’s getting great reviews everywhere.
Over two years later and we're still waiting for Daniel to be in stilettos...
so those glasses....what's up with them? they look like a glencairn with less of a tulip shape, does that make them better for certain whiskeys? I'm pretty new to whiskey.
We tried a bunch of different glassware. I'm testing these. Jimmidrammer recommended them. I dig the way they feel. Heavier than the Glencairns. But I prefer the way the whisky experience is with the Glencairns.
Also, they're Godinger Tribeca glasses www.amazon.com/Godinger-Tribeca-Whiskey-Glasses-Silver/dp/B00RII1Y0W
nice dizzy gillespie reference
Omg. I wonder if my wife will let me move to austin
I literally have my bar behind me and I am not drinking, but I feel like it. I like these guys, I like the rambling...but there should be just a little more reviewing. I love the look of all the whiskeys behind them it certainly gives them instant credibility. Okay, I'll watch one more.
Apparently gentleman jack and half mooching go hand in hand. I bought a bottle a few years back as a wedding gift, the bottle never made it to its intended recipient. instead I drank the entire bottle in one sitting after the wedding.
This is awesome. I think you maintained true moochitude on this one.
Is your Liver ok ?
I’ve tried stop doing that shit. This drink goes back very very easy.
hey guys do Buchanan's 12
Dude. The Dizzy Gillespie reference caught me off guard lol👍
It's "eat the cake and have it too." Its about wanting to enjoy something that needs to be consumed to be enjoyed, but not wanting to lose that something through consumption
All I get is Banana flavored runts candy on the nose and minty eucalyptus when I take a sip. But I smelled the bottle after I watched the video and got the peanut butter. Maybe I'm using the wrong glass.
I didn't notice that on the GJ, but I picked up the JD Rye and it was total bananamania. Not what I wanted in a rye whiskey.
I love the fact that it's a Gentleman Jack video, but 90% of it is either talking about something else or drinking other whiskey. Lol. Although I am an avid fan of Jack, mainly because it is different and nobody else I knows likes it, I did try the Gentleman Jack at a bar and much preferred No. 7. It is smoother, but it seems to lose so much of the flavor that Jack's has. I need to send you guys a bottle of Barrel Proof Jack and see what you think.
I always get heavy banana notes with this atuff. I quite like it.
These intros are always hilarious. When they started listening to the whiskey I almost spit mine out lol
do defiant whisky please and thank you love you guys
It's on the list!
What about the special Jack Daniels glass. The 2 chamber dealio.
I hadn't even heard of this till you mentioned it! Wild! I'll need to see if I can find one for the vault.
I bought mine in Lynchburg after the JD tour. But they are on Amazon.
Just ordered one
I like jack. Me and Jack are good friends
yes
