✨ Technical Specifications
Though classified under 'Other' as a traditional Tennessee Whiskey rather than a grape wine, Jack Daniel's 'Scenes from Lynchburg' No. 3 celebrates the rich heritage of Lynchburg, Tennessee. This specific release in the collectible series features the historic Lynchburg Hardware & General Store on the town square, a nod to the local community that has supported the distillery since its founding by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel in 1866. Crafted using the time-honored sour mash bill of corn, rye, and barley malt, the spirit undergoes the signature Lincoln County Process—mellowing drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal—before aging in handcrafted charred white oak barrels. This process imparts its signature smooth, sweet character with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1866 by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel alongside head distiller Nathan 'Nearest' Green, the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, stands as the oldest officially registered distillery in the United States. Sited strategically at Cave Spring Hollow, the facility draws cool, iron-free spring water filtered through subterranean limestone, critical to pristine fermentation and distillation. The hallmark sour mash bill—dominated by corn, complemented by rye and malted barley—undergoes the defining Lincoln County Process, in which unaged distillate filters drop by drop through dense sugar maple charcoal before barrel entry. Matured in hand-crafted, newly charred American white oak barrels exposed to Tennessee's shifting seasonal climate, the whiskey emerges with pronounced notes of vanilla, toasted caramel, and soft charcoal mellowing. Owned by Brown-Forman since 1956 and overseen by Master Distiller Chris Fletcher, the house remains celebrated for its ubiquitous Old No. 7, alongside benchmark collector bottlings, Single Barrel expressions, and the Gold Medal commemorative series.
