Jack Daniel’s typical mash bill of 80% Corn, 12% Rye, and 8% Malted Barley. The mash was distilled and then put through the Lincoln County Process before being put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels made at the distillery’s own cooperage. Single barrel releases from Jack Daniel’s are typically 4 to 7 years old. Each bottle of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel is carefully selected before being bottled at 47% ABV.
The JD Single Barrel was introduced to the world in 1997. It is bottled at 94 Proof, or 47% ABV. The barrels are selected from the higher floors of Rickhouses and the aim is for all selected casks to have “subtle notes of caramel and spice with bright fruit notes and sweet aromatics for a Tennessee Whiskey” according to the Jack Daniel’s website. Every single barrel has some differences stylistically, though, so every bottle of it you buy might be very on the nose and palate.
At its base level, the Lincoln County Process used to make Tennessee Whiskey means that the new make spirit or white dog/white lightning is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before being put into barrels to age. Jack Daniel’s has its own version of this, wherein the distillery burns sugar maple boards/ricks to a heavy char and then sprays them down with water to prevent complete combustion. After burning the new charcoal is ground into pellets and packed into vats through which the 70% ABV new make spirit filters through. The filtered spirit is cut to 62.5% ABV and put into heavily charred virgin oak barrels to age away.

Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Oak sawdust and staves in a cooperage, Lucky Elephant Pink Candy Popcorn, Orange Pekoe Tea, banana peels, peanut brittle, ground black pepper, and a touch of clove.
Palate: Peanut brittle again, plus cotton candy, dried banana chips, cherry pie, caramelized brown sugar, roasted hazelnuts, cappuccino, and more tea notes as well.
Finish: Bananas, brown sugar, mocha, and toasted oak on the slow fade.
Comment: It has been a while, but I am glad to have tasted this again. It is further proof that there is much to explore from Jack Daniel’s. Skip the Old Number 7 and start here!

All whisky in this bottle was aged in virgin oak casks and the batch originally had a strength of around 47% or so before it was decided to bottle it at 46%.

Like the regular 6-year-old Bib & Tucker Bourbon, the Double Char is distilled and aged in Tennessee. What sets it apart is the second heavily charred virgin oak barrel it spends its final few months in before bottling at 44% ABV.

The No. 12 is a high corn mash (84% corn, 8% rye, and 8% barley) Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey produced by the Cascade Hollow Distillery of Cascade Hollow, Tennessee. The distillery was formerly named the George Dickel Distillery until it was changed in 2018.
Being a Tennessee Whiskey, George Dickel is put through the Lincoln County Process, where the new make spirit is filtered through sugar maple, charcoal before being put into barrels. Apparently, the Cascade Hollow distillery goes a step beyond just using this as a filtration/mellowing method and actually lets the new make steep for a period of time in the charcoal before running it through.
The George Dickel brand and Cascade Hollow Distillery are owned by Diageo, which is the largest spirits maker in the world, also owns the Bulleit and IW Harper brands of Bourbon, to name a few. Even the company would likely admit they are currently playing catchup in American Whiskey right now though, as it’s only Bourbon Distillery just recently started operations.

"A tribute to Jack's biggest fan - Frank Sinatra - Sinatra Select is rich amber in color with a bold character, a pleasant smokiness and a vanilla finish," according to the team at Jack Daniels.
