✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, established in 1866, the Single Barrel Select represents the pinnacle of the Lincoln County Process. This unique method involves slowly dripping the freshly distilled spirit through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before it enters charred white oak barrels. For the Single Barrel expression, Master Distillers select only the top one percent of barrels, situated in the highest reaches of the aging houses where extreme temperature swings force the whiskey deeper into the wood. This coaxes out rich, concentrated notes of toasted oak, vanilla, and caramel, offering a singular snapshot of Tennessee whiskey heritage.
🍾 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.
