The Jack Daniel Distillery introduces Distillery Series Selection #12, a Straight Tennessee Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks. The latest in the distillerys line of experimental and innovative whiskeys features Jack Daniels classic Tennessee Whiskey with an additional layer of complexity perfect for the season.

Jack Daniels Distillery Series is available in Tennessee only and in limited quantities. Like all Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskeys, the latest expression has a grain bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye and is charcoal mellowed before entering into new, charred American white oak barrels. Once fully matured, the whiskey was then finished in Oloroso Sherry casks for an additional three years.

“We first used Oloroso Sherry Casks with our American Single Malt, and it was only natural to continue experimenting with them to craft innovations that only Jack Daniels could, said Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniels Master Distiller. What resulted was something completely unique that further elevates the complexity of Old No. 7 but maintains a balanced profile. We cant wait for our friends to try what we believe is the perfect sip for the season.”

The straight Tennessee Whiskey has an aroma of sweet citrus on the nose, which builds to a taste of rich baking spices,nutmegand caramel. Its crowned with a lingering finish of notes of red fruit, achieved through maturation in the Sherry casks.

“In their latest Distillery Series Selection, Jack Daniels produces an easy-sipping whiskey thats not as influenced as youd expect for being finished in Oloroso Sherry casks for 3 years.” – Jordon Moskal, Breaking Bourbon

“Jack Daniels isnt shy about branding its Distillery Series as experimental; as such, some will soar while others tumble. Release number 12 certainly succeeds as a tasty whiskey in its own right.” – David Thomas Tao, VinePair (92 Points)

“All told, this is a wholly unexpected experience from Jack Daniels, and one that I kept going back to again and again. If JD was to take any of its recent experiments and make them full-time releases, this would be my candidate, no question.” – Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (95 Points)
