Jack Daniel's - 10 years - Batch 04 - 48.5%
Founded in 1866 in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the Jack Daniel's distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Famous for its iconic Old No. 7, it has cultivated unparalleled expertise in Tennessee whiskey production for over 150 years. The Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Batch 04 edition embodies the quintessence of this tradition, offering a rare expression of age within the range, the result of extended aging meticulously orchestrated by Master Distiller Chris Fletcher.
This exceptional whiskey is produced using the Lincoln County Process , Jack Daniel's famous maple charcoal filtration method, before being aged for a decade in new, heavily charred American oak barrels. The aging process, carried out in the upper floors of the warehouses where the heat enhances evaporation, concentrates the spirit's aromas and color. Bottled at 48.5% ABV, Batch 04 expresses the maturity and richness of a perfectly crafted Tennessee whiskey, combining power, depth, and smoothness.
On the nose, it unfolds a refined bouquet of brown caramel, intense vanilla, and toasted oak, enriched by hints of dried fruit, honey, and blond tobacco. On the palate, the texture is ample and silky, revealing flavors of toffee, dark chocolate, and pecans, supported by a subtle smoky note and a touch of sweet spice. The long, generous finish lingers with nuances of fine wood, molasses, and ripe fruit, attesting to the complexity gained over ten years of aging.
This 10-year-old Jack Daniel's can be enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to reveal its finest nuances. It pairs perfectly with a nut tart, a dark chocolate dessert, or a characterful cigar, in the purest Tennessee tradition.
