Jack Daniel’s Introduces 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey for the First Time in Over a Century – American Whiskey News

Jack Daniel’s Introduces 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey for the First Time in Over a Century

Jack Daniel’s latest in its annual award-winning Aged Series features Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey along with 12-Year-Old Batch 3 and 10-Year-Old Batch 4

Lynchburg, Tenn. – The Jack Daniel Distillery today announced the release of its Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, marking the first time since the early- to mid-1900s that Jack Daniel’s has offered an expression at this age. This year’s Aged Series also includes Jack Daniel’s 12-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 and 10-Year-Old Batch 4, the latest in the annual release that nods toward the history of the Jack Daniel Distillery.

“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.”

Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, offered at 126.3 proof (63.15% abv), begins with Jack Daniel’s classic Tennessee Whiskey mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye, is distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and is mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal, just like the classic Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. The additional years of aging for Jack Daniel’s 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey bring forward notes of sweet bakery spices with layers of oak. The palate opens with cinnamon and creamy butterscotch balanced with rich leather that lingers into aged oak and pipe tobacco.

Jack Daniel’s 12-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 is offered at 107 proof (53.5% abv) and has sweet and creamy notes of pipe tobacco, seasoned oak, and butterscotch.

Jack Daniel’s 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 4 is offered at 97 proof (48.5% abv) and is oak forward with layers of dark fruit and bittersweet cocoa.

Jack Daniel’s 14-, 12-, and 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskeys will be available this month in limited quantities across the U.S. in 700 mL bottles with suggested retail prices of $149.99, $94.99 and $84.99, respectively.

Additionally, Jack Daniel’s 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey will be available in select countries internationally beginning this summer.

Whisky Words: Bung Hole

Ever heard of a Bung Hole? It’s the small hole on top of the cask where the bung (usually a piece of wood) is hammered in after filling the cask with spirit. It’s a small detail, but it’s crucial to whisky maturation.🎬 Watch the Video | 📖 Read the Post

Dhavall Gandhi unveils The YUKARI Collection – Whisky News

Dhavall Gandhi unveils The YUKARI Collection

 Avant-garde whiskymaker and artistic director Dhavall Gandhi is set to embark on an exciting new chapter in 2025 with the unveiling of the YUKARI Collection. The Japanese word YUKARI means connection and is often used to describe deep bonds between people, places and things.

Known for his unrivalled expertise and visionary approach to whisky-making, Dhavall has built a remarkable career, from his award-winning work with The Macallan to his instrumental role in establishing The Lakes Distillery and their award winning house style. His eponymous firm, DHAVALL GANDHI, is considered as the “haute couture” of the whisky world.

Driven by a passion for cultural sustainability, he founded KANDOBLANC to preserve & promote heritage art forms on the brink of obscurity. The Maison’s inaugural creation, AGA, was unveiled at the prestigious Distiller’s One of One auction in 2023, breaking two world records and marking Dhavall’s debut as an artistic director.

The YUKARI Collection will feature three one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by Japanese art and cultural icons, each showcasing a rare heritage technique and an exceptionally rare single malt whisky as its crown jewel. Much like the craftsmanship behind each creation, Dhavall has meticulously selected these whiskies, weaving together narratives of tradition, identity, and resilience – elements that shape the rich tapestry of human culture.

Dhavall commented, “KANDOBLANC was founded on the principle of harmony – cultivating an equal creative dialogue between diverse arts and cultures while serving as a beacon for artistic preservation. Following in the footsteps of our icon, AGA, the YUKARI Collection embodies our unwavering commitment to this mission.”

The first piece of the YUKARI Collection will be donated to The Worshipful Company of Distillers and The Distiller’s Charity to be auctioned at the Distiller’s One of One auction in October this year. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to charities supporting disadvantaged young people in Scotland. The other pieces will be available for acquisition directly through KANDOBLANC.

In the lead up to the Distillers One of One auction, more details will be revealed about each element within the series.
