This is an old standard of whiskeys. While its not technically a bourbon, many people will call it such. Nonetheless, J.D. is a true American Standard of whikeys. J.D. is characterised by a strong, robust flavor, perhaps too much for many. After taking the distillery tour a few years back, I would attribute this flavor to the barrel. And such a great flavor it is. I love the strong, strong flavor of bourbons and whiskeys. J.D. is typically 80 proof and around $20 for a fifth gallon. As I sit here and polish of this bottle, I can say that, even though, J.D. hasa strong, flavor and robust character on all areas on your whole pallet, it’s good to the last drop. I think every bar should have at least one bottle on hand. I would say its a solid 3 on the five shot scale =)
