The Jack Daniel Distillery has introduced Distillery Series Selection #12, a Straight Tennessee Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks.
Like all Jack Daniel’s expressions, 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 and bottled at 90 proof. It was selected by Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Taster Randall Fanning, who recently retired after nearly 50 years with the brand,
“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 Daniel’s could,” said Chris Fletcher, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “What resulted was something completely unique that further elevates the complexity of Old No. 7 but maintains a balanced profile. We can’t wait for our friends to try what we believe is the perfect sip for the season.”
Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Straight Tennessee Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks is available in select stores in Tennessee and at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop at the Jack Daniel Distillery for $41.99.
