✨ Technical Specifications
Though categorized under 'Other' as a spirit rather than a traditional grape wine, Jack Daniel's Sour Mash Red Dog Saloon is steeped in rich American liquid history. Released to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the opening of Mr. Jack Daniel's historic Red Dog Saloon in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in 1892, this special bottling celebrates the vibrant, musical, and social hub where locals gathered to enjoy fine Tennessee whiskey. Crafted using the classic grain bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, the spirit undergoes the legendary Lincoln County Process—dripping slowly through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal—before aging in handcrafted, charred American white oak barrels. This meticulous process imparts a smooth, sweet, and smoky character that honors the legacy of the historic saloon.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, Jack Daniel's is recognized as the first registered distillery in the United States. The distillery relies on the iron-free, mineral-rich waters of Cave Spring Hollow and is defined by the traditional Lincoln County Process, in which unaged spirit is slowly mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before maturation. Now part of the Brown-Forman Corporation, the distillery maintains an uncompromising commitment to crafting authentic Tennessee whiskey. Renowned worldwide for its flagship Old No. 7, Jack Daniel's also crafts premium expressions like Gentleman Jack and its nuanced Single Barrel Collection, celebrated for their signature balance of sweet vanilla, toasted oak, and mellow caramel notes.
