Guess who's back? It's the Jack Daniels 10 Year Old.
Batch 5 of the 10 Year Old series sees barrels moved from the upper floors of the barrelhouse down to the lower ricks mid-maturation, a decision by Master Distiller Chris Fletcher, to coax that iconic depth of flavour. With the same mashbill that was used 150 years ago - 80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye - Jack Daniels has produced a modern smash hit, without letting the old ways die.
Bottled at 48.5% ABV (97 Proof), expect cooked apple and caramel on the nose, rich molasses and chocolate on the palate, and a long, warm finish.
