Ben Salango, one of the podcast's co-hosts, expressed his immediate impression of Jack Daniel's 14: "From the moment we sampled it, we knew Jack Daniel's 14 would be a contender for Whiskey of the Year. The viscosity and the amazing depth of flavor made it an instant hit on our podcast and with whiskey enthusiasts around the globe." His co-host, Kyle Mork, added that the whiskey faced competition from industry heavyweights but remained a dominant contender throughout the tasting rounds.
Joe Nassif, another co-host, remarked on how they recognized the whiskey's potential as a contender right from their early tasting this year. In their recent review, Jack Daniel's 14 Year won unanimously over formidable competitors such as George T. Stagg, King of Kentucky, and Bardstown Cathedral.
