✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 5 pays tribute to Frank Bobo, who served as the distillery's master distiller from 1966 to 1989. During his tenure, Bobo guided the brand through a historic rise in global popularity, famously maintaining the whiskey's uncompromising quality even when demand far outpaced supply. Crafted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, this expression follows the time-honored Tennessee Whiskey tradition: a mash bill of corn, rye, and barley malt, distilled and then mellowed drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal—a method known as the Lincoln County Process. It is then matured in handcrafted charred white oak barrels. This process imparts the signature smooth, sweet character of vanilla, toasted oak, and caramel that defines the Jack Daniel's legacy, wrapped in a historical tribute to one of its legendary liquid custodians.
🍾 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.
