Jack Daniel’s Makes Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Tennessee Whiskey Permanent Expression
The Jack Daniel Distillery has announced that Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Tennessee Whiskey will now be offered year-round as part of the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Collection.
The permanent launch follows Heritage Barrel limited special releases in 2018 and 2019 that also utilized Jack Daniel’s distinct barrel toasting technique.
To craft the expression, Jack Daniel’s classic Tennessee Whiskey mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye is distilled and mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. Barrels are prepared with a high-toast, low-char toasting technique inspired by the earliest barrel-making traditions, creating a deeper, richer toasted layer before the barrel is charred. The whiskey then enters the Heritage Barrels at a lower proof of 100 and is matured in some of the highest-elevated barrel houses in Lynchburg, Tennessee. While each barrel will vary in age, all Single Barrel Heritage Barrels are matured for at least seven years.
Offered at 100 proof (50% ABV), Single Barrel Heritage Barrel is described as having “a soft oak nose, warm notes of honey and candied fruit across the palate, and a lingering finish of brown sugar.”
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Tennessee Whiskey is available now nationwide in 750 mL bottles with a suggested retail price of $69.99. An international rollout will follow in the coming months.
