Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Legacy Edition is a special limited release that celebrates the rich and often overlooked visual history of the world's most famous Tennessee whiskey. While Jack Daniel's is known the world over for its iconic black and white label, the bottles that left the Lynchburg distillery in the early 1900s looked strikingly different, colorful, ornate, and distinctly of their era. The Legacy Edition series revives these historic label designs from over a century ago, and this edition wears one of those vintage looks, complete with classic period typography, the Old No. 7 brand mark, and old time flourishes that hark back to the distillery's early roots, all while proudly declaring it is made only in Tennessee. Inside is the same beloved Old No. 7 Tennessee whiskey that has been crafted since 1866, charcoal mellowed drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal in the signature Lincoln County Process before aging in handcrafted new charred American oak. Bottled at a slightly elevated 86 proof, a touch above the standard black label, it offers a little extra body and warmth while keeping the smooth, approachable character Jack is famous for, with classic notes of vanilla, toffee, sweet corn, charcoal, light spice, and toasted oak. Equally at home as an affordable everyday sipper, a handsome gift, or a piece of liquid history for the Jack Daniel's collector's shelf, the Legacy Edition is a charming tribute to the brand's heritage. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite Jack cocktail.
