Jack Daniels (45% abv)

Country of Origin:

Tennessee, USA

Our thoughts: 

Jack Daniels is an American Whiskey made in Tennessee and been awarded 7 Gold Medals for quality and distinction

Although American Whiskey is made all around the USA it is mainly produced in Kentucky and Tennessee and generally marketed on: -

• heritage,
• lifestyle and
• customer loyalty

USA whiskey is aged for a minimum of 2 years in heavily charred oak barrels that are often matured in metal clad wooden frame 7-10 storey buildings where the temperature is controlled by opening the windows and doors!! 

Bourbon e.g. Jim Beam is:

• generally produced in Kentucky and
• must have min 51% maize (corn) – the less the amount of corn = fuller flavour and
• Any colouring or flavouring must relate to distillation and ageing only

Tennessee Whisky e.g. Jack Daniels is : -

• Produced in Tennessee region and
• Put through a Maplewood charcoal filter to refine and ‘mellow’ the rich flavour
• Typically tastes include:
  • Smokiness and sweetness

Why not try a Jack Daniels Manhattan Cocktail?

Ingredients: -

• 1-1/2 parts Jack Daniel’s® Tennessee Whiskey
• ½ part sweet vermouth
