Jack Daniel’s has announced the launch of a new 14 Year Old release, marking the first time since the early to mid-1900s that the Lynchburg, Tennessee-based brand has offered an expression of this age.

Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey(63.1% ABV) was produced using a mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye. As per its classic Jack Old No.7 bottling, it was mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal.

The additional years of aging are said to have brought forward notes of sweet bakery spices with layers of oak on the nose, followed by notes of cinnamon, creamy butterscotch, rich leather, aged oak and pipe tobacco on the palate.

This year’s Aged Series also includes Jack Daniel’s 12 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 3 and 10 Year Old Batch 4, the latest in the annual release that nods toward the history of the Jack Daniel Distillery.

Commenting on the launch, Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery, said: “When we released our first Jack Daniel’s 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey a few years ago, we set out to honour the legacy of Jack Daniel himself and replicate the lineup of age-stated whiskeys available during his time. This year’s releases build upon that as we re-introduce our new 14-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, the oldest age-statement for Jack Daniel’s in the last 100 years or more. These whiskeys really showcase how a little extra time in our barrels is capable of producing something so special.”

Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey, will be available later this month from retailers across the US, for a RRP of $149.99.
