✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Cave Spring Hollow in Lynchburg, Tennessee, the Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 1 pays tribute to the legendary founder himself, Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel, who served as the distillery's first Master Distiller. While categorized under 'Other' as a premium Tennessee Whiskey rather than a traditional grape wine, this expression is crafted with meticulous attention to heritage and process. It is produced using a classic mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, fermented with a historic yeast strain. Crucially, the spirit undergoes the famous Lincoln County Process, filtering slowly through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before maturing in handcrafted, charred new American oak barrels. This imparts a signature smoothness, rich caramel and vanilla notes, and a gentle toasted oak finish, celebrating over 150 years of distilling legacy.
🍾 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.
