Jack Daniel’s Launches Sweet Mash Tennessee Straight Whiskey

Press Release

Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Selection #15 is a high-proof Sweet Mash Tennessee Whiskey pulled from top-floors of the distillery’s Tract 2 barrelhouses

The Latest Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Release

Lynchburg, Tennessee (September 22, 2025) – The Jack Daniel Distillery introduces a Sweet Mash Tennessee Straight Whiskey as the latest selection in its Distillery Series line of experimental whiskeys.

The Sweet Mash Process

At the beginning of each distilling season, the Jack Daniel Distillery uses a sweet mash process during the cooking of grains. This sweet mash will kickstart production before establishing a setback to support our sour mash process for the remainder of the distilling season.

Distillery Series Selection #15

Distillery Series Selection #15 is a nod to the annual small run of sweet mashed whiskey, featuring the same grain bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye like all Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskeys. After entering new charred white oak barrels in 2016, the expression was aged on the top floors of Track 2 barrelhouses at the Jack Daniel Distillery for almost nine years before being batched and bottled at 117 proof.

Crafting a Unique Expression – Jack Daniel’s Sweet Mash Tennessee Straight Whiskey

“Our Distillery Series has experimented with every step in the whiskey making process from grain bill to barreling, and this release showcases yet another lever that we can pull and tweak here at the Jack Daniel Distillery,” said Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “What excites me about this release is the complexity and richness that has emerged from a little extra time in the right places in our barrelhouses.”

Tasting Profile

The sweet mash process along with the barrel age and location combine for a high-proof Tennessee Whiskey featuring rich butterscotch notes and undertones of pecan, berry and caramel.
