Tennessee Whiskey brand Jack Daniel’s has launched its first super-premium line extension in 25 years, with the introduction of its Bonded Series with the launch of two bottled-in-bond whiskeys.
Unvailed as permanent expressions with the new Bonded Series, Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash Blended Straight Whiskey, have been created to celebrate whiskey making at the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Jack Daniel’s Bonded features a mashbill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. Barrels were hand-selected for having a deeper colour, flavour and aroma, leading to a “darker, richer, and more oak-forward character.” The resulting expression has notes of caramel, rich oak, and spice.
Triple Mash, meanwhile, is a blend of three straight bottled-in-bond whiskeys: 60% Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye, 20% of the flagship whiskey, and 20% of the brand’s American Malt expression. It delivers hints of honey, malt and soft oak, leading to a well-rounded finish.
“The Jack Daniel Distillery has been making exceptional American whiskey to the highest standards for generations, before and after the Bottled in Bond Act, dating back to the days of Mr Jack himself,” said Chris Fletcher, the brand’s master distiller.
“Bonded and Triple Mash are a nod to our heritage with a touch of innovation and craftsmanship. These whiskeys are another opportunity for both our friends and new drinkers to explore and discover everything Jack Daniel’s has to offer.”
