Jack Daniel’s, the best-selling individual whiskey brand in the world, was originally crafted by Jack Daniel himself.

In addition to undergoing the charcoal mellowing process before aging, Gentleman Jack whiskey undergoes the process again before being bottled.Limited car parking is also available off Shibden Hall Road (Upper Car Park) with a short walk down to the Hall. Disabled parking is available for Blue Badge holders next to the Hall (Museum parking), accessed from Shibden Hall Road. As an FYI, I bought and use these Glencairn glasses for my reviews and comparisons (because they’re the best): Glencairn Crystal Whiskey Glass, Set of 6, Clear, 6 Pack.

The problem is that it’s inoffensive and so boring to sip neat, and also far too grainy and woody without nearly enough sweetness, fruitiness, herbalness, or anything else. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey comes from the United States oldest registered distillery and is charcoal mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. Jack Daniel’s allows its whiskey to drip for six days in 10-foot vats, passing through charcoal that was made by burning maple wood that had been impregnated with 140 proof Jack Daniel’s whiskey, before being put in new charred oak barrels and aged for an estimated 4-7 years. So, bring out the Bacardi, make your own Fireball cocktail, and throw in that flair to impress your guests! The whiskey’s even-keel nature overflows into the finish with just a touch of spice accenting lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, and honey.There’s not much to more say about the well known Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack Whiskey that hasn’t already been said about the original Jack Daniel’s Old No. After the mash bill is fermented for 3-5 days, JD’s will be filtered in 10 ft sugar maple charcoal, aka Lincoln County Process [ 1 ]. While many whiskeys are filtered through charcoal after aging in barrels, the extent to which Gentleman Jack is charcoal mellowed a second time after aging isn’t a common practice. A nice balance of caramel, vanilla, and oak, it will have a wide appeal to those who want to sip whiskey but want to keep it light.
