✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Riverboat Captain's Bottle is a commemorative release that celebrates the rich heritage of Tennessee whiskey and its historic connection to the grand riverboats of the 19th century. Although classified under 'Other' as a distilled spirit rather than a grape wine, it represents the pinnacle of traditional American distilling. Crafted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, the spirit undergoes the famous Lincoln County Process, filtration through sugar maple charcoal, before aging in newly charred American white oak barrels. This process yields a smooth, rich profile with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak. The Riverboat Captain's bottle itself is a nod to the elegant decanters that graced the salons of Mississippi riverboats, where Jack Daniel's was a prized fixture among travelers and captains alike.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Jack Daniel Distillery i Lynchburg, Tennessee, blev grundlagt i 1866 af Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel i tæt samarbejde med destillatøren Nathan 'Nearest' Green og er i dag USA's ældste officielt registrerede destilleri. Placeringen ved Cave Spring Hollow er helt ideel, da destilleriet herfra henter køligt, jernfrit kildevand, der er naturligt filtreret gennem underjordiske kalkstenslag – en forudsætning for den rene gæring og destillation. Den karakteristiske sour mash-opskrift er domineret af majs suppleret med rug og bygmalt og gennemgår den skelsættende Lincoln County-proces, hvor det rå destillat drypper langsomt gennem et tæt leje af trækul fra sukkerløn forud for fadlagringen. Modningen foregår på håndlavede, helt nye og forkullede fade af amerikansk hvideg under Tennessees skiftende årstider, hvilket tilfører whiskeyen markante noter af vanilje, ristet karamel og en behagelig, afrundet trækulssødme. Destilleriet har siden 1956 været ejet af Brown-Forman og ledes i dag af Master Distiller Chris Fletcher. Huset er verdenskendt for sin ikoniske Old No. 7, men nyder også stor anerkendelse for sine eksklusive samlerudgaver, Single Barrel-aftapninger og den historiske Gold Medal-serie.
