The Jack Daniel Distillery introduces Distillery Series selection #11, a Tennessee Whiskey finished in aejo tequila barrels, which marry the flavors of agave and oak. The American White Oak barrels for this experimental whiskey first aged Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey, then they matured aejo tequila in Mexico before returning to Lynchburg to finish this Tennessee Whiskey.

Finishing the whiskey in aejo tequila barrels brings together flavors of agave and oak, with aromas of sweet citrus and light oak on the nose and a taste of brown sugar and dried spices. Its crowned with notes of the matured aejo tequila with a sweet Tennessee Whiskey finish, achieved through the distinctive barrel aging process.

“Maybe it helps that I love a good tequila, but I found this whiskey quite satisfying. As mentioned above, other tequila-barrel finishes I’ve tried have been overly sweet, but the Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series No. 11 balances the classic Tennessee whiskey recipe well with the aejo, showing a skilled hand from Master Distiller Fletcher and Taster Danny Lamb.” – Jerry Jenae Sampson, The Whiskey Wash

“Describing this whiskey is pretty simple: take the staple Jack Daniels flavor profile of a sweet, mellow current of brown sugar and vanilla custard, accented by notes of banana, maple and nuts, plus a dash of cookie spice. It is a profile that should be familiar to anyone fancying herself as a whiskey enthusiast. Now play up the cookie spices to the point of creating a properly dry, spicy note, and give the whole thing earthy aspect. Its supremely yummy and is the first example of an effective use of a tequila barrel finish Ive tried.” – Richard Thomas, The Whiskey Reviewer

“Like I thought, this was a home run! I have gone back to this whiskey two or three times since it arrived. I enjoy the waves of vanilla balanced by hints of tequila throughout the pour.” – Jake Lewellen, Bourbon Lens

“At first glance, finishing Tennessee Whisky in Tequila barrels might seem like an uncommon pairing of flavors. However, Jack Daniels has proven that to be far from the truth with this Distillery Series Selection thats been Finished in Aejo Tequila Barrels. The sweet profiles of each spirit mingle wonderfully into a fantastic finished whiskey with a wonderful flavor profile. Were thrilled to see Jack Daniels pushing the boundaries with this fun special release. Should you come across this whiskey, this is a must-buy!” – Matthew Evans, Whiskey Consensus
