Jack Daniel’s was established in 1886 and is the top-selling American whiskey in the world. It is produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, which ironically, is a dry county, meaning the product can’t actually be sold there. Brown-Forman acquired Jack Daniel’s in 1956.
While not officially labeled bourbon, most of Jack Daniel’s whiskeys meet the criteria required to qualify as bourbon. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey undergoes what is referred to as the ‘Lincoln County Process. Jack Daniel’s allows its whiskey to drip for six days in 10-foot vats, passing through charcoal that was made by burning maple wood that had been impregnated with 140 proof Jack Daniel’s whiskey, before being put in new charred oak barrels and aged for an estimated 4-7 years.
Jack Daniel’s pulls barrels from the upper levels of the barrelhouses for their Single Barrel Select bottlings. Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey includes ongoing standard single barrels, as well as private selections chosen by retailers, clubs, and other groups. Because this is a single barrel release, there will be variations from barrel to barrel.

The aroma is quintessential Jack Daniel’s, amping up what’s found in a standard bottle of Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. Caramel, vanilla, and that telltale banana note settle at the forefront. Oak is more prominent than the lower proof offering, with bouts of white pepper and apricot adding a layer of depth. It’s an enjoyable yet straightforward introduction that accurately alludes to the rest of the sip.
A wave of sweet flavors, including maple syrup, brown sugar, and caramel, gives way to a satisfying layer of seasoned oak. Banana is present, but fleeting, along with hints of tobacco and graham cracker. There’s some heat in the medium-bodied sip that is a bit more intense than usual for a 94 proof whiskey, but overall, it drinks much like the aroma suggests. It’s a satisfying midpoint, dialing in quintessential Jack Daniel’s flavor with a deeper intensity and a bit more oak.
Black pepper and charred oak at the onset give way to sweeter flavors of caramel and vanilla custard. There’s a subtle toasted marshmallow note that peeks in as the flavors fade, though the sweetness transitions towards savory and dry as it progresses. Except for the impending dryness, the finish wraps up the sip’s flavors cleanly, forgoing any unexpected additions as it concludes.
As Jack Daniel’s has continued to expand their line of whiskeys by changing variables such as proof, age, and barrel type, we have been able to taste a much wider range of what one of the world’s most popular and recognizable whiskeys has to offer.
