NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A brand of Tennessee whiskey has released its oldest expression to date: The 14-year-old Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey.
The new Jack Daniel’s 14-year-old whiskey is reportedly distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and is mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal, just like the classic Jack Daniel’s No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey.
Due to the additional years of aging, officials said the whiskey brings sweet spices, like cinnamon and creamy butterscotch, balanced with “rich leather that lingers into aged oak and pipe tobacco.”
According to the brand, the 14-year-old whiskey marks the first time since the mid-1900s that Jack Daniel’s has offered an expression this age.
“When we released our first Jack Daniel’s 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey a few years ago, we set out to honor the legacy of Jack Daniel himself and replicate the lineup of age-stated whiskeys available during his time,” said Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery. “This year’s releases build upon that as we re-introduce our new 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, the oldest age-statement for Jack Daniel’s in the last 100 years or more. These whiskeys really showcase how a little extra time in our barrels is capable of producing something so special.”
In addition to the 14-year-old expression, the 12-year-old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 and 10-year-old Batch 4 were also released as part of the Aged Series.
Batch 3 features sweet and creamy notes of seasoned oak and butterscotch while Batch 4 has layers of dark fruit and bittersweet cocoa.
A limited supply of the 14-year-old Tennessee Whiskey will be available this month across the United States with a suggested retail price of $149.99, according to the whiskey brand.
