Overview
Jack Daniel's first ever official age statement to hit Aussie shores is here. JD fans have dreamt of this day for years.
A few savvy punters have snuck a bottle or two onto Aussie shores, where they've been selling recently at auction for over $400 a bottle. But not to worry, whiskey lovers. You can get your hands on a bottle this August as a special Member Add In for much less.
And when we say ‘one’, we mean it. These bottles are so limited that Members can only order one bottle each.
There’s no gimmick with this one; it’s just good classic Jack, with the same mash bill as before – that’s 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye – matured for a decade for the first time since prohibition. It’s been methodically re-racked up and down from the Buzzard’s Roost of Jack’s barrelhouse to the lower floors of different barrel houses to extend the aging process each summer, so expect big flavours of warm butterscotch and soft fruit with a long finish of sweet tobacco and spice. Bottled at a sweet 97 proof aka 48.5% ABV with no chill filtration or colour added for maximum enjoyment. And it was clearly enjoyed by the judges at the World Whiskies Awards where it was awarded “Best Age-Statement Tennessee”.

Jack Daniel Distillery's History
The youngest of ten children to Calaway and Lucinda Daniel, no-one knows for sure exactly when Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel was born. His tombstone says 1850, but his mother died before then, so the truth remains a mystery. His father soon remarried and had another three children; however, Jack and his stepmother did not get along well, and following his father’s death during the Civil War, Jack ran away from home.
