Jack Daniel’s

American whiskey, commonly referred to as bourbon, contains at least 51% corn mash, matures in new and charred wood casks, and has 80% ABV at the highest. While technically a bourbon, Jack Daniel’s is a Tennessee whiskey, which means that it also meets those requirements.

Tennessee whiskeys must be produced in Tennessee, filtered through maple charcoal before aging, distilled from at least 51% corn, distilled to 80% ABV max, aged in new charred oak casks, barreled at 62.5% ABV max, and bottled at no less than 40% ABV. Come to Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits for Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 or Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire.
