Though classified here under 'Other' as a distilled spirit, the Jack Daniel's 1915 Gold Medal Series is a legendary liquid testament to Tennessee's distilling heritage. This special release commemorates the gold medal won by the distillery at the Anglo-American Exposition in London in 1915. At the time, Tennessee was already under state-level prohibition, making this international recognition a bittersweet triumph orchestrated by Jack's nephew, Lem Motlow. Crafted using the traditional Lincoln County Process, the whiskey is filtered drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in newly charred American white oak barrels. This meticulous process imparts the signature smooth, sweet, and smoky character defined by notes of rich caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla.
🍾 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.
