"The Jack Daniel’s Aged Series allows us to fully explore how time influences our classic Tennessee Whiskey recipe while staying true to the character Mr. Jack established generations ago," said Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery.
"The feedback we continue to receive on the Aged Series has been overwhelming, and I’m excited for our friends to see how these new batches bring their own personality and subtle differences thanks to extended maturation," Fletcher added.
All three expressions begin with the distillery’s classic mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. Each is mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal before aging in new American white oak barrels in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The bottles are offered in 700 mL format.
According to official tasting notes from the brand, the 14-Year-Old Batch 2, bottled at 117.6 proof (58.8% ABV), presents aromas of sweet bakery spices and molasses with layers of oak. The palate opens with cinnamon and creamy butterscotch, balanced by rich leather that lingers into aged oak and pipe tobacco.
