Jack Daniel's Distillery Series Selection #012 Oloroso Sherry Finish Distillery Exclusive Tennessee Whiskey (2023) 37.5cl

In their latest Distillery Series Selection, Jack Daniel’s produces an easy-sipping whiskey that’s not as influenced as you’d expect for being finished in Oloroso Sherry casks for 3 years.

Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series Selection #12 is a straight Tennessee whiskey barrelled in charred white oak and finished Oloroso sherry casks for a whopping three additional years. The brand more recently experimented with Oloroso sherry casks first with their Jack Daniel’s Twice Barrelled Special Release American Single Malt Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks, followed by 2023’s release of Jack Daniel’s American Single Malt Oloroso Sherry Cask. This release is limited to the state of Tennessee.

About Jack Daniel's

Jack Daniel's is the best-selling American whiskey in the world. Despite that fact it can legally be categorised as a straight bourbon, it has always shunned this title, preferring to market itself as a Tennessee Whiskey. These are similar to straight bourbons but have the additional requirement of having been filtered through maple wood charcoal, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process. History has not always given the distillery an easy ride though. Tennessee was an early adopter of Prohibition in 1910, and one of the last to repeal it in 1938 (five years later than the repeal at Federal level). Even today the distillery is still located in a "dry" county, meaning none of its products are sold in its hometown or those around it. The distillery was then only operational for four years before being forced to close again during the second world war. Ten years later it was purchased by the Brown-Forman corporation and its fortunes turned for good. Its classic black-labelled Old No.7 brand (named after the distillery’s original DSP number) is now a globally recognised product.
