✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Jack Daniel Distillery i Lynchburg, Tennessee, blev grundlagt i 1866 af Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel i tæt samarbejde med destillatøren Nathan 'Nearest' Green og er i dag USA's ældste officielt registrerede destilleri. Placeringen ved Cave Spring Hollow er helt ideel, da destilleriet herfra henter køligt, jernfrit kildevand, der er naturligt filtreret gennem underjordiske kalkstenslag – en forudsætning for den rene gæring og destillation. Den karakteristiske sour mash-opskrift er domineret af majs suppleret med rug og bygmalt og gennemgår den skelsættende Lincoln County-proces, hvor det rå destillat drypper langsomt gennem et tæt leje af trækul fra sukkerløn forud for fadlagringen. Modningen foregår på håndlavede, helt nye og forkullede fade af amerikansk hvideg under Tennessees skiftende årstider, hvilket tilfører whiskeyen markante noter af vanilje, ristet karamel og en behagelig, afrundet trækulssødme. Destilleriet har siden 1956 været ejet af Brown-Forman og ledes i dag af Master Distiller Chris Fletcher. Huset er verdenskendt for sin ikoniske Old No. 7, men nyder også stor anerkendelse for sine eksklusive samlerudgaver, Single Barrel-aftapninger og den historiske Gold Medal-serie.
