✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, founded by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel in 1866, this Bottled in Bond Tennessee Whiskey represents a strict adherence to the historic Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. To earn this designation, the whiskey must be distilled during a single season at one distillery, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at precisely 100 proof. Crafted from a classic grain bill of 80% corn, 12% barley, and 8% rye, the spirit undergoes the signature 'Lincoln County Process'—slowly dripping through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering charred American white oak barrels. This ancient mellowing technique imparts a rich, smooth character defined by toasted oak, caramel, and warm baking spices, carrying with it the folklore of America's oldest registered distillery.
🍾 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.
