Description

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Travelers Sweet & Oaky Bottling Note

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Travelers Sweet & Oaky is a distinctive expression crafted exclusively at the legendary Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee. This special release is part of the Tennessee Travelers collection, a series dedicated to honoring the adventurous spirit of Jack Daniel and his mission to share his whiskey with the world through global travel retail.

This straight Tennessee Whiskey utilizes the distillery’s classic, high-corn mash bill, consisting of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. Following distillation, the spirit undergoes the essential Lincoln County Process, mellowing drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal. It is then matured in new charred American oak barrels, where the high concentration of corn and the active wood deeply integrate. The whiskey is non-chill filtered and bottled at a robust 107 Proof (53.5% ABV).

This higher proof level is deliberately chosen to intensify the interaction between the spirit and the barrel, resulting in a prominent, rich character defined by a notable balance between intense sweetness and profound oak influence. This release delivers a concentrated, balanced, and medium-bodied flavour experience, serving as a bold variation of the classic Tennessee Whiskey style.

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Travelers Sweet & Oaky Tasting Note

Nose: Balanced character with immediate notes of rich caramel, vanilla bean, and toasted American oak. The high corn content provides a background of soft grain sweetness.

Palate: Full-bodied and creamy, delivering a concentrated mid-palate experience where sweet cooked corn dominates, balanced by substantial oak char and a touch of honeyed spice. The 107 proof provides warmth without excessive heat.

Finish: Clean and long, focusing on lingering toasted wood and dried brown sugar. The oak tannins provide structure until the end.

Overall: A high-proof, corn-forward Tennessee Whiskey that intensifies the inherent sweetness and wood notes of the Jack Daniel’s character.
