Description
The Jack Daniels Bonded Tennessee Whiskey stands out a little from its brothers. First of all, the well-known distillery proceeds as always. So this is a typical American whiskey , whose mash is reminiscent of the raw materials for bourbon . 80% corn joins 12% rye and 8% barley malt. The American whiskey is regularly distilled after fermentation. After distillation, the Jack Daniels Bonded Tennessee Whiskey from the USA goes through the same sophisticated filtration process as the other spirits from the Tennessee distillery. The liquid is filtered through a ten foot layer of sugar maple charcoal. This method, patented by the company, is referred to as the Lincoln County Process or charcoal mellowing.
Wonderfully pure and soft, the Jack Daniels Bonded Tennessee Whiskey then moves into new white oak barrels. And this is where the first difference to the classics of the Jack Daniel’s brand can be observed: This American whiskey is stored in wooden casks for at least four years according to the official regulations for the title “Bottled in Bond”. That’s a little longer than some standard bourbon. After storage, it is blended with the contents of hand-selected barrels. Finally, the Jack Daniels Bonded Tennessee Whiskey is bottled with an increased alcohol content, which makes one think of Cask Strength Whiskey or Barrel Proof Whiskey in cask strength.
