✨ Tekniske specifikationer
While classified under 'Other' as a distilled spirit rather than a traditional grape wine, the Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 4 is a liquid testament to the rich heritage of Tennessee whiskey-making. This specific release honors Jess Gamble, who served as the distillery's fourth Master Distiller from 1964 to 1966 and was notably the first master distiller from outside the Jack Daniel family. Crafted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, using the iron-free cave spring water from the Cave Spring Hollow, the spirit follows a time-honored mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. It undergoes the legendary Lincoln County Process, dripping slowly through ten feet of tightly packed sugar maple charcoal before maturing in handcrafted, charred American white oak barrels. This meticulous process imparts the signature smooth, sweet, and toasted oak character that defines the distillery's historic legacy.
🍾 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.
