✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Though categorized here under 'Other' as a distilled spirit rather than a traditional grape wine, the Jack Daniel's Monogram Bottled in 1998 is a legendary liquid treasure from Lynchburg, Tennessee. First introduced in 1998 as a highly limited premium release, this expression represents the pinnacle of the historic Lincoln County Process. This traditional Tennessee method requires the whiskey to be slowly dripped through ten feet of tightly packed sugar maple charcoal before entering charred new American white oak barrels. The Monogram series, housed in an elegant heavy glass decanter with a gold-painted seal, showcases a rich, deep amber hue and a complex profile of toasted oak, sweet vanilla, warm caramel, and a signature charcoal-mellowed smoothness. It stands as a monument to the legacy of Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel, who registered his distillery in 1866, making it the oldest registered distillery in the United States.
🍾 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.
