✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel alongside head distiller Nathan 'Nearest' Green, the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, stands as the oldest officially registered distillery in the United States. Sited strategically at Cave Spring Hollow, the facility draws cool, iron-free spring water filtered through subterranean limestone, critical to pristine fermentation and distillation. The hallmark sour mash bill—dominated by corn, complemented by rye and malted barley—undergoes the defining Lincoln County Process, in which unaged distillate filters drop by drop through dense sugar maple charcoal before barrel entry. Matured in hand-crafted, newly charred American white oak barrels exposed to Tennessee's shifting seasonal climate, the whiskey emerges with pronounced notes of vanilla, toasted caramel, and soft charcoal mellowing. Owned by Brown-Forman since 1956 and overseen by Master Distiller Chris Fletcher, the house remains celebrated for its ubiquitous Old No. 7, alongside benchmark collector bottlings, Single Barrel expressions, and the Gold Medal commemorative series.
