While classified here under the 'Other' category, this legendary bottling represents the rich heritage of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, specifically the Bicentennial commemorative edition released in 1996 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Tennessee's statehood (1796-1996). Crafted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, at the nation's oldest registered distillery, this whiskey is defined by its pristine source water from the Cave Spring Hollow and the historic Lincoln County Process. This traditional method involves mellowing the freshly distilled spirit drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before it is matured in handcrafted, charred new American oak barrels. The result is a smooth, sweet, and smoky spirit steeped in American folklore and the legacy of Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the Jack Daniel Distillery stands as the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Situated at the pristine Cave Spring Hollow, the distillery utilizes iron-free cave spring water and a distinct mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. The signature of their production is the Lincoln County Process, where the newly distilled spirit is slowly drop-by-drop mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in handcrafted white oak barrels. This meticulous craftsmanship yields their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey, celebrated through iconic expressions such as Old No. 7, Gentleman Jack, and their Single Barrel collection.
