Jack Daniel’s Bottles 14YO Tennessee Whiskey
The Jack Daniel Distillery today announced the release of its Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, marking the first time since the early- to mid-1900s that Jack Daniel’s has offered an expression at this age.
This year’s Aged Series also includes Jack Daniel’s 12-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 and 10-Year-Old Batch 4.
“When we released our first Jack Daniel’s 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey a few years ago, we set out to honor the legacy of Jack Daniel himself and replicate the lineup of age-stated whiskeys available during his time,” says Chris Fletcher, master distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery. “This year’s releases build upon that as we re-introduce our new 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, the oldest age-statement for Jack Daniel’s in the last 100 years or more. These whiskeys really showcase how a little extra time in our barrels is capable of producing something so special.”
Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, offered at 126.3 proof, begins with Jack Daniel’s classic Tennessee Whiskey mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye, distilled in Lynchburg, TN. It’s mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal, just like Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey.
The additional years of aging for Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey bring forward notes of sweet bakery spices with layers of oak, the company says. The palate opens with cinnamon and butterscotch with rich leather that leads into aged oak and pipe tobacco.
Jack Daniel’s 12-Year Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 is offered at 107 proof and has sweet and creamy notes of pipe tobacco, seasoned oak and butterscotch, the distillery notes. Jack Daniel’s 10-Year Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 4 is offered at 97 proof and is oak-forward with layers of dark fruit and bittersweet cocoa.
Jack Daniel’s 14-, 12-, and 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskeys will be available this month in limited quantities across the U.S. in 700-ml. bottles with suggested retail prices of $149.99, $94.99 and $84.99, respectively.
