New Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Finished With Exotic Jamaican Allspice Wood

The Tennessee Tasters’ Selection series from Jack Daniel’s has showcased over time this brand’s experimental whiskey projects. They are introduced several times a year, and now, for the sixth and seventh whiskeys from this line up comes forth Jamaican Allspice and 14E19 “Twin” Blend. 

These two new Jack Daniel’s whiskeys, according to those behind them, are limited to approximately 24,000 bottles for each release. The more seemingly interesting of the two, Jamaican Allspice (available now), is said by the brand to take “Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey and finish it for 180 days with toasted Jamaican allspice wood to create a nose of fruit, smoke, and sweet tobacco.

“Selected by Master Taster Melvin Keebler and bottled at 100 proof, the whiskey features tastes of dark spice and clove with a long and bold finish.”

14E19 “Twin” Blend (available in early 2021), meanwhile,”gets its name from the entry date of 20 barrels of Tennessee Whiskey and 30 barrels of Tennessee Rye that entered the barrelhouses on May 19, 2014. The 50 barrels were selected by Master Taster Jessica Hartline and blended to produce a flavorful and complex 107 proof whiskey with complementing spice and floral accents.”

“Our newest additions to the Tennessee Tasters’ series represent the creativity and craftsmanship that Mr. Jack began with more than 150 years ago,” said Master Distiller Chris Fletcher in a prepared statement. “Our Master Tasters embodied that spirit with these bottles by complementing the character of our classic Tennessee Whiskey with rare woods for the Jamaican Allspice bottle and hand-selected barrels of Tennessee Rye for the Twin Blend. We can’t wait for our friends to try them.”

Each of these offerings is being released in 375 ml bottles and prices around $40. They are available at the distillery and also select retailers around Tennessee.
