Though categorized under 'Other' as a distilled spirit rather than a traditional grape wine, the Jack Daniel's 1913 Gold Medal Tennessee Whiskey carries immense historical significance. This special release is part of a commemorative series celebrating the gold medals awarded to the distillery. The 1913 edition honors the gold medal won at the Universal Exposition in Ghent, Belgium, a poignant milestone achieved under the stewardship of Jack's nephew, Lem Motlow, following Jack Daniel's passing. Crafted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, using the historic mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, the spirit undergoes the signature Lincoln County Process—mellowing drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal—before aging in charred new American oak barrels. This process imparts its signature smooth, sweet, and smoky character, rich with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak.
🍾 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.
