Named after James Arthur Rackham, who selected the ten casks that comprise this Batch No.1 bottling released in June 2024.
This high-rye (95% rye and 5% malted barley) Tennessee whiskey was matured for 3 years and 6 months in ten lightly toasted new American oak barrels, then double mellowed through maple charcoal before bottling at cask strength in December 2023.
Review and Tasting
Sampled on 08/06/2024
Appearance:
Clear, golden amber.
Aroma:
Toasty oak, toasted almond, pencil shavings and rye bread. A splash of water reveals vanilla, buttery popcorn, matchbox lighting strip and bloody steak-like aromas.
Taste:
Toasty dry oak, barbeque charcoal, and a metallic note with light clove, cinnamon, and peppery spice.
Aftertaste:
Baking spices and toasty notes with lingering metallic tobacco.
Overall:
Given its generous strength, adding a splash of water is tempting, but go easy; too much dilution exposes this whiskey's dry, woody side. It may sound like sacrilige for such a limited-release bottling, but Jimmy Rack is great with cola on the rocks.
