Jack Daniel's
Heritage BarrelDescription
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel celebrates the whiskey making traditions of our distillery and the barrel-making expertise of our cooperage. With a warm, rich character that runs deep, this Tennessee Whiskey sets itself apart using timeless techniques and historic craftsmanship. Each heritage barrel is slowly heated to achieve a deeper, richer toasted layer before being charred, evoking the barrels of our earliest coopers. Matured in the uppermost reaches of one of the highest elevated barrel houses in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Producer
Mr. Jack Daniel established his distillery in 1866, making it America’s oldest registered distillery. He built his distillery in the little town of Lynchburg, Tennessee, in the Cave Spring Hollow because of the abundance of cool, iron-free spring water that was perfect for making his whiskey. We still make our whiskey here today. Jack Daniel’s is crafted according to all of bourbon’s quality standards but undergoes the extra step of mellowing drop by drop through 10 feet of hard sugar maple charcoal. Mellowing the whiskey is a time-consuming and costly extra step, but it gives Jack Daniel’s its smooth character and distinctive taste. It makes Jack Daniel’s a Tennessee Whiskey and not bourbon. After mellowing, Jack Daniel’s whiskey is matured in new, charred American white oak barrels, from which the whiskey draws its spicy oak notes and its rich, golden color.
