Specifics
Like all Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye Whiskeys, the latest Distillery Series expression has a unique grain bill of 70% rye, 12% malted barley and 18% corn. The rye whiskey is charcoal mellowed before being matured in a new, charred American white oak barrel. After maturation, the rye whiskey was entered into a second new, charred American white oak barrel for an additional two and half years.
“Our Tennessee Rye is a take on rye whiskey that is uniquely Jack Daniel’s. The 70% rye grain bill allows the whiskey to shine through with just the right amount of spiciness and boldness,” said Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “We’re excited to add a limited-edition expression to our rye lineup with this release, which introduces the whiskey to a second barreling to create a profile with even more depth and character.”
Tasting Notes from Jack Daniel’s
Twice barreling the whiskey brings together flavors of charred oak and a hint of blackstrap molasses, building to a finish of fresh spearmint, anise and dry baking spices with aromas of sweet smoke and burnt sugar on the nose.
