Jack Daniel's 150th Anniversary Tennessee Whiskey is a special, limited edition commemorative release crafted to celebrate a century and a half of whiskey making at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Officially registered with the U.S. Government in 1866, the distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States, and to mark its 150th anniversary in 2016 it released this distinctive bottling. True to founder Jack Daniel's process, the grain bill mirrors the iconic Old No. 7, with 80 percent corn, 12 percent barley, and 8 percent rye, and every drop was mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal in the signature Lincoln County Process. What sets the anniversary whiskey apart is its maturation: rather than the heavily charred barrels standard at Jack Daniel's, this release used specially crafted, lightly toasted new American oak barrels, matured in the Angel's Roost high on Coy Hill, one of the oldest and most prized barrelhouse locations at the distillery, where elevation and sunlight create an ideal climate for whiskey and barrel to interact. Barreled and bottled at a robust 100 proof and available exclusively in a 1 liter decanter, individually numbered and presented in a black gift box, it pours a deep amber and offers complex tasting notes of butterscotch, toffee, caramel, and vanilla, with a distinctive lightly toasted oak character, leading to a full, smooth, and lingering finish. A one time commemorative release and a prized keepsake for Jack Daniel's enthusiasts and American whiskey collectors, it is a fitting tribute to an iconic Tennessee institution.
