✨ Technical Specifications
While technically a Tennessee Whiskey rather than a traditional grape wine, the Jack Daniel's White Rabbit Saloon Special Edition Sour Mash holds a legendary place in American spirits history. This special bottling commemorates the 120th anniversary of the White Rabbit Saloon, a legendary watering hole opened by Jasper Newton 'Jack' Daniel himself in Lynchburg's town square in 1892. Crafted using the traditional sour mash process with a grain bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, the spirit undergoes the famous Lincoln County Process—dripping slowly through ten feet of tightly packed sugar maple charcoal—before maturing in handcrafted charred American oak barrels. This meticulous mellowing imparts a signature smoothness, rich caramel and vanilla notes, and a gentle toasted oak finish that pays homage to the historic saloon where Jack once poured his finest creations for friends and travelers alike.
🍾 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.
