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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the Jack Daniel Distillery stands as the oldest registered distillery in the United States. Situated at the pristine Cave Spring Hollow, the distillery utilizes iron-free cave spring water and a distinct mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. The signature of their production is the Lincoln County Process, where the newly distilled spirit is slowly drop-by-drop mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in handcrafted white oak barrels. This meticulous craftsmanship yields their world-renowned Tennessee Whiskey, celebrated through iconic expressions such as Old No. 7, Gentleman Jack, and their Single Barrel collection.
