So what do you actually taste when you take a sip? When it comes to Tennessee whiskey, there's a deeper and more full-bodied flavor, with notes of caramel, oak, and vanilla. Irish whiskey, on the other hand, is smoother and mellower, with lighter notes of white fruit, honey, and vanilla. This is why Irish whiskey is considered the best option for beginners.

From cinnamon-spiced blends to fruit-flavored twists, we ranked 14 different Jack Daniel's whiskeys to find the one that truly stands out from the pack. Our goal wasn't to crown the rarest or most complex pour - we wanted to find the bottle that's simply enjoyable. The winner? Gentleman Jack - a Tennessee whiskey so supple it practically glides across the palate.

Established by brothers Andy and Charles Nelson in 2009, Nelson's Green Brier can trace its roots to the 1800s, when the Nelson brothers' great-great-great grandfather, Charles Nelson, purchased a distillery in Green Brier Tennessee, known as Old No. 5 Distillery (as it was the fifth registered distiller in the state of Tennessee). At one point, Nelson's distillery was the largest producer of Tennessee whiskey, selling 2 million bottles of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey in 1885.
