I’m not a huge fan of Jack Daniels, I have to admit. But I do love these virtual tastings, so went ahead and signed up for this one, facilitated by Brown Jug and hosted by Jack Daniel’s brand ambassador, Ed Tecosky.
As usual, we bought out tasting kit earlier from the warehouse in Wasilla:
- Jack
Daniel's Single Barrel
- Jack
Daniel's Single Barrel - Rye
- Jack
Daniel's Single Barrel - Barrel Proof
This tasting was an interesting one in that it was presented in the form of a Trivia game. We scanned a bar-code (no pun intended) they displayed on the screen which loaded the ap onto our phones. The game consisted of 21 questions on the history of the company and of Jack Daniels himself: some True or False, some multiple choice. You got more points the faster you answered, and even more points if you answered correctly.
Bryan and I did not do so well, ending up in 22 place (out of 25 players) – but there were prizes for the top three contestants. I assume the Jack Daniels company got their names & addresses from them after the tasting, to make sure they got what they won.
Somewhere during all that chaos, we tasted our whiskey. It almost felt like an afterthought, truth be told. Like “Oh, yeah… I guess we should actually drink something here.” But Bryan was happy with it, so I didn’t complain.
