This marks the first time since the early-to mid-1900s that Jack Daniel’s has offered an expression at this age. After aging, the barrels are expertly blended, bottled uncut at barrel proof, creating an intense, unique character.
Brown-Forman, the owner of Jack Daniel’s, had always shunned age statements in their whiskies. For decades, their products were made with a taste profile in mind instead of touting how old it was. This was just fine for many casual drinkers and enthusiasts. Products like Old Forester Signature, Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey were affordable and had a steady stream of customers ready to purchase them. So why change what wasn’t broken? Times change. Whiskey companies have been keen to pick up on the fact that enthusiasts have been more demanding of their whiskies. They want to see higher proofs and age statements.
