Tennessee Whiskey Review: Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old Batch 4

I would 100% say that Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old is worth the money every time. That kind of confidence doesn’t come lightly—it really speaks to the quality you’re getting for the price.

Tasting Notes:

About:
The modern introduction of 10 year old, age stated Jack Daniel’s. It was something the distillery had released in the past, but we’re taking things back to over a century ago. This is the classic Jack Daniel’s mash bill of 80% corn, 12% rye, and 8% malted barley, aged for that additional time and carefully monitored and moved throughout different warehouses on the estate. This review is Batch 4, released in the UK on April 9th, 2025.
Appearance:
Cognac
Nose:
One of the most decadent and rich noses that I’ve ever come across on any American whiskey.

Madeira, Cognac, pecan pie, maple syrup, Crème Brulé, apricots, milk chocolate, vanilla custard, a little touch of sweet American oak, cashews and Brazil nuts, nutmeg, soft rye spices, brown sugar and an almost mulchy – forest floor/autumnal aroma.
Palate:
This leads with spice and barrel influence straight away. Thankfully this product isn’t all about oak and spice, there is so much more to it than that.

I thought I’d get more fruity notes on the nose, it turns out they were all waiting behind to be delivered on the taste! So much cherry, dried apricot, marinated raisins, more of those earthy nutty hints from cashews, nut butter, Brazil nuts and honey roasted nuts.

Everything is then rounded off with some sweet milk chocolate.
Finish:
More sweet American oak, barrel spices, a slight appearance of classic Jack Daniel’s banana note, and all of the cakes you can imagine. Honey cake, lemon drizzle and a touch of hot honey.
Comments:
This is an unexpected and utterly delightful release from the folks at Jack Daniels. It’s an whiskey aged in some pretty serious temperature that hasn’t been overthrown with over the top oak, being too dry or being bottled at cask strength just for the sake of it.

I feel this is a welcome, premium addition to the range of Jack Daniel’s. It’s a brand that has done so much across so many different life style and drink options, so to have something break that £100 mark for the first time in a few years makes this need to be special. Indeed it is.

I’ve no idea what this whiskey is like between batches, but if they’re all as tasty as this one then it’s a product that we should all be looking at, and giving all of the correct attention that it deserves.

Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old Value for Money

I would 100% say this is worth the money every time. Honestly, I’d be happy to buy another bottle tomorrow. That kind of confidence doesn’t come lightly—it really speaks to the quality you’re getting for the price.

Comparison with Other Bourbons

When I think about other whiskeys in the same league as Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old, I’m comparing this to high-quality American releases in the three-digit price bracket. Bottles like:

  • Old Fitzgerald 13 Year
  • Elijah Craig 18 Year
  • Elijah Craig Cask Strength
  • Michter’s Cask Strength


Many of these cost two or even three times as much, yet the Jack Daniel’s 10 Year holds its own. It brings a level of complexity and character that genuinely rivals those heavyweights.

An Unexpectedly Exceptional Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old 

What really took me by surprise was just how impressive this whiskey is. It’s multifaceted, interesting, and honestly—unexpected. For something from such a mainstream brand, this kind of depth wasn’t something I anticipated. It makes you wonder why Jack Daniel’s hasn’t been exploring this style sooner.

Comparison to Sinatra Select 

If you’re looking for a direct comparison within the Jack Daniel’s range, the Sinatra Select is the obvious one. That bottle used a mix of charred and uncharred oak with “raked” staves, creating an earthy, sweet, almost decadent profile. But where Sinatra Select leaned on the Frank Sinatra legacy, the 10 Year doesn’t need any of that. It stands entirely on the strength of the Jack Daniel’s name and, more importantly, the quality in the bottle—and it absolutely delivers.
