Jack Daniel's Winter Jack

Winter Jack is labeled as a "Tennessee Cider." While it does have a Jack Daniel's Old No 7 whiskey base, the flavoring brings it back into the world of liqueurs. To get technical about it, it's best classified as a "spiced apple cider whiskey liqueur."

According to the brand, Winter Jack is "based on an original family recipe from Jack's home in Lynchburg, Tennessee." It does have that old-world charm to it with its warm, inviting aroma and the inclusion of "holiday spices" (presumably cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and the like). Unlike many other "apple whiskeys" this one tastes like real apples, not the sweet and sour stuff that has been so common for years. Winter Jack follows suit with Jack Daniel's other flavored liqueurs like Tennessee Honey and Tennessee Fire, which are impressive as well. Unlike those, this bottle clearly states that it contains caramel.
