Jack Daniel’s Twice Barreled American Single Malt 700ml
DescriptionBreaking new ground in American whiskey, Jack Daniel's ventures into single malt territory with this innovative expression that bridges Lynchburg tradition with global whiskey trends. The 'Twice Barreled' process involves initial maturation in new American oak before a secondary finish in Oloroso sherry casks, creating layers of complexity that showcase both American boldness and European sophistication. This limited release represents Jack Daniel's response to the growing interest in American single malts while maintaining their distinctive Tennessee character.
The color is rich amber with reddish highlights from the sherry influence. The nose presents an intriguing merger of styles—classic Jack Daniel's banana and vanilla notes are enhanced by sherry-derived elements of dried fruits, nuts, and Christmas spices. There's still that distinctive charcoal mellowing character, but it's complemented by new dimensions of toffee, orange peel, and subtle oak tannins. On the palate, the whiskey shows remarkable integration, with the sherry finish adding weight and complexity without overwhelming the base spirit's character.
This expression demands contemplation—best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open up the intricate flavors. The single malt designation means 100% malted barley, creating a different texture and flavor profile than traditional Jack Daniel's while maintaining the Lincoln County Process that defines Tennessee whiskey. For collectors and enthusiasts, this represents an exciting evolution of an American icon, showing that even established distilleries can innovate while respecting their heritage. The 700ml bottle size reflects its international ambitions, positioning American single malt as a serious player on the world whiskey stage.
