I don't like the Gentlemen Jack either. Actually I was surprised that the three main labels, Old No. 7, Gentlemen Jack and Single Barrel are all regular old Jack. The difference is they don't rotate the barrels in the warehouse while it is aging. The single barrel is at the top of the warehouse and it is worked in the wood more aggressively because of the more significant heat differences at the top. Gentlemen Jack is at the bottom and gets less of the temperature change. They also charcoal distill it twice. So it is very mellow. Regular Jack is the middle part of the warehouse.

I like the single barrel as its flavor is slightly more robust, but it's not worth the price difference for old no. 7. And you can get single malt scotch for the same price as either GJ or SB.
