View tasting notes
Sight

Jack Daniel's Gentleman JackCore
NAS40% ABV$25-35
New American white oak barrels, double charcoal mellowed (Lincoln County Process before AND after aging)
4/4 Tasting
View tasting notes
Sight
Light amber gold; remarkably clear from double charcoal mellowing, with thin legs
Smell
Soft vanilla, light caramel, banana, and fresh oak. Lighter and more delicate than Old No. 7 due to the additional charcoal mellowing. Hints of citrus and sweet corn
Sip
Very smooth and gentle with vanilla, light caramel, and soft banana. The double mellowing process removes harsher elements, creating an exceptionally clean and approachable palate. Light-bodied with subtle sweetness
Savor
Short to medium finish, very clean and smooth. Gentle vanilla and caramel fade quickly. The smoothest expression in the Jack Daniel's lineup

4/4 Tasting

NAS64.5% ABV$65-80
New American white oak barrels (upper rickhouse), charcoal mellowed, single barrel, cask strength, non-chill filtered
4/4 Tasting
View tasting notes
Sight
Deep dark amber with mahogany and russet tones; thick, viscous legs from cask strength. Richest colour in the JD core lineup
Smell
Surprisingly gentle for its proof — peanut brittle, roasted peanuts, subtle saltiness. Sweet banana cream pie with vanilla wafers, not artificial banana. Caramel, charred oak, and baking spice
Sip
Classic caramel corn sweetness gives way to Chinese five-spice, dry oak, and a soft creamy caramel ribbon uniting diverse elements. Sweet banana nut bread with a hit of proof. Enormous depth and complexity at cask strength. Proofs range 125-140 per barrel
Savor
Long and warming — oak and cherry dominate as banana notes fade. The proof dries out the finish with persistent spice, charred wood, and deep caramel. One of the most complex JD expressions

4/4 Tasting
View tasting notes
Sight
Deep amber with copper-red highlights; thick legs from cask strength. The rye mash bill creates a slightly different hue than the corn-dominant expressions
Smell
Signature JD banana note upfront — banana nut muffin fresh from the oven. Caramel, whipped cream, cherry, rye spice, savory tobacco, herbs, milk chocolate, maple charcoal, and cinnamon. Proofs range 125-145
Sip
Very sweet and intensely spicy neat. Rye spice dominates with deeply caramelized sugars, milk chocolate, cinnamon, and that classic JD banana character. Water tames the heat without eliminating sweetness or spice. Bold and powerful
Savor
Long, spicy finish with lingering rye grain, pepper, caramel, and charcoal. The cask strength rye delivers the most intense and persistent finish in the JD core lineup

Jack Daniel's Triple MashCore
NAS (Bottled-in-Bond)50% ABV2022$33-40
Blend of three bonded whiskeys: 60% Tennessee Rye, 20% Tennessee Whiskey, 20% American Malt Whiskey
4/4 Tasting
View tasting notes
Sight
Rich amber gold; the rye-dominant blend creates a warm, inviting colour
Smell
Spicy rye character meets classic JD caramel — rye bread, pepper, cinnamon, caramel, and malt. More complex aroma than any single-grain JD expression. Hints of dried fruit and cocoa

Layered and complex — the rye brings spice and pepper, the Tennessee whiskey brings caramel and banana, and the malt whiskey adds a biscuity, cereal richness. Medium-full body with excellent integration at 100 proof
Savor
Medium-long finish with rye spice, caramel sweetness, and a malty backbone. The three-grain blend creates a finish that evolves from sweet to spicy

Bold rye spice with caramel, charcoal, cinnamon, and dried fruit. The oldest barrelhouse setting creates a different maturation character than the Coy Hill high-elevation profile
