Jack Daniel’s Distillery has introduced a unique offering titled the "Distillery Series Selection #15," which stands out due to its use of a sweet mash process, a departure from their usual sour mash technique. The sweet mash method involves fermenting without backset, requiring greater precision and control, making it more challenging than the sour mash approach that most American whiskey producers, including Jack Daniel’s, typically employ.
This particular whiskey is sourced from the beginning of the 2016 distillation season and has been aged for nearly nine years in a high-temperature environment within the brand’s barrelhouses. Kathy Thurmond, the Quality Control Manager and Whiskey Taster, personally selected the barrels used for this limited release. Bottled at 117 proof, the whiskey maintains a traditional mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye.
Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller, Chris Fletcher, expressed excitement regarding the depth and complexity imparted by this process, highlighting the richness that comes from extended aging. Tasting notes for the whiskey describe flavors of butterscotch, with hints of pecan, berry, and caramel.
The Distillery Series Selection #15 will be available exclusively at the White Rabbit Bottle Shop in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in 375 milliliter bottles, priced at $44.99. This unique whiskey presents an opportunity for distillery enthusiasts to experience the flavor variations resulting from different production techniques.
