With 74 warehouses holding 1.6 million casks, Jack Daniels is one of the largest distilleries in the world. But this is certainly not what gives this whiskey – commonly referred to as Jack – its unique character and distinctive flavours. Unlike its bourbon-producing cousins in Kentucky, Jack Daniels follows the Lincoln County Process, a unique procedure that involves filtering the distillate through a layer of maple charcoal before being put into barrels. This enables it to retain the heaviest elements of the spirit and favours the overall homogeneity of the distillate.
Jack Daniels Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey comes from a single barrel that has been individually hand-selected for its unique taste and smooth and aromatic flavour by Jack Daniels Master Distiller and his team of Master Tasters. Once chosen, the whiskey is bottled a single barrel at a time, and never mixed with whiskey from other barrels.
The barrels chosen for the storage of Single Barrel come from the uppermost floors of the barrelhouses that dot the hills surrounding the Jack Daniel Distillery. The extremes in temperature these floors experience during the year result in barrels that yield whiskey of unusually bold, robust flavour.
Full-bodied with notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and caramel, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel has an intense flavour profile and a long rich finish. Each barrel imparts its unique character to the whiskey, and as a consequence, there may be slight variations across bottles that have originated from different barrels.
To fully enjoy its rich and flavourful character, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel is best enjoyed neat, or on ice.
