Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century

Jack Daniel’s introduces a new whiskey, to celebrate Frank Sinatra’s 100th Birthday, after Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select, and this time it is Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century. The suggested retail price is 500$. The barrels are not much different than the ones that kept Sinatra Select, and we also don’t have information about the age of the whiskey. The package also includes officially unreleased-before Frank Sinatra performances in a CD.

The packaging and the unboxing experience seems very high quality, but what about the whiskey? Better wait for the reviews as the Sinatra Select line of Jack Daniel’s didn’t get very high ratings for its price.

Now let’s move to the books. Some of the book descriptions are directly from Amazon.com.
