✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
