Whisky Wednesday – Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel, 50%

THE VIDEO

Aged exclusively in barrels that were toasted for 24 minutes and then quickly flash charred, this is a bottle of Jack Daniel’s that does things a little differently.

Not only that, but its barrel entry proof is 100, rather than 125, and this is aged for anywhere between 7/8 years per release.

Lower entry proof and this longer toasting has produced a sweet, sticky, rich Tennessee Whiskey with notes of buttery popcorn, dark cherry, orange bitters and red vermouth.

Taste wise it leans into a direction of a little intense with some heavily extracted wood sugars, fresh ginger spice, gentian root, more red vermouth and a long, classically Tennessee approach of dry, roasted nuts and some buttery, sweet oak.
