Jack Daniel’s is now fully committed to experimenting with their lineup. After spending decades churning out Old Number 7 and Gentlemen Jack, the distillery in Lynchburg, TN has finally decided to fully embrace the whisky craze and explore new and exciting expressions for their lineup. After winning praise for their Barrel Proof and Bonded products, it feels right that they are now exploring longer maturations. So, while typical Jack Daniel’s is aged for “at least 4 years”, what we are drinking today is aged for at least 2.5 times that – meaning we have a full 10 year age statement!

Jack Daniel’s debuted this 10 year product last year to raucous excitement, and have continued the fun this year with a second batch of 10 year and the addition of an even older 12 year product this time around. And while Jack Daniel’s 12 year, this 10 year is rocking a 97 proof. And honestly, that seems pretty reasonable in a world of wildly expensive limited editions.

Jack Daniel’s first ever official age statement to hit Aussie shores is here. JD fans have dreamt of this day for years.

A few savvy punters have snuck a bottle or two onto Aussie shores, where they’ve been selling recently at auction for over $400 a bottle. But not to worry, whiskey lovers. You can get your hands on a bottle this August as a special Member Add In for much less.

And when we say ‘one’, we mean it. These bottles are so limited that Members can only order one bottle each.

There’s no gimmick with this one; it’s just good classic Jack, with the same mash bill as before – that’s 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye – matured for a decade for the first time since prohibition. It’s been methodically re-racked up and down from the Buzzard’s Roost of Jack’s barrelhouse to the lower floors of different barrel houses to extend the aging process each summer, so expect big flavours of warm butterscotch and soft fruit with a long finish of sweet tobacco and spice. Bottled at a sweet 97 proof aka 48.5% ABV with no chill filtration or colour added for maximum enjoyment. And it was clearly enjoyed by the judges at the World Whiskies Awards where it was awarded “Best Age-Statement Tennessee”.
