Release year

On 24 August 2021 the Jack Daniel Distillery announced its first age-stated whiskey in more than 100 years: Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey, whose Batch 1 reached US shelves in early September 2021 at 97 proof (48.5% ABV). It is the distillery's Old No. 7 whiskey, matured ten years in barrels moved around the barrelhouse to extend the aging, and the first release of the Aged Series, which Jack Daniel's dates to 2021.

Nº 01

The Elemental Distinction

The age statement returns. Jack Daniel's launched it as the brand's first 10-year age-stated whiskey in more than a century; its own product page puts the gap at around 120 years since the distillery last labeled a whiskey at ten years of age or more.

A first at 97 proof. At 97 proof, or 48.5% ABV, the bottling carried a strength the distillery called a first for Jack Daniel's in its launch announcement.

Old No. 7, given a decade. The announcement describes Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey matured in oak barrels that were relocated through the barrelhouse over ten years to extend the aging. Old No. 7 comes from the distillery's classic mash of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye.

Sold in the United States only. Initial quantities reached shelves across the US in early September 2021, and Jack Daniel's lists Batch 1 for the American market alone.

A cartouche redrawn by hand. The bottle design features a hand-drawn version of the cartouche used on Jack Daniel's age-stated bottles a century earlier.

From Old No. 7 to a yearly run

August 2021

Chris Fletcher, the distillery's master distiller, tied the 10-Year-Old to a decade of experimentation aimed at honoring the whiskey Jack Daniel himself was bottling at the end of the 1800s, and said the batch had been hand-crafted in Lynchburg over ten summers. The 2021 announcement promised a yearly return. It came in March 2023, when Batch 2 arrived with Batch 1 of the 12-Year-Old as the latest in the Aged Series, and Fletcher counted the 2021 bottle, the first age-stated Jack Daniel's since the early 1900s, as the series' first release.

Sensory Profile & Strategy

Distiller notes & position

Sensory Profile

The note Jack Daniel's issued with the August 2021 announcement reads dry fig and raisin over oak on the nose, warm butterscotch with soft fruit and smoke on the palate, and a long finish of sweet tobacco and spice.

Strategic Position

Batch 1 opened the chain that every later 10-Year-Old batch extends. Its successor, the March 2023 second batch, kept the 97 proof and arrived beside the debut of the 12-Year-Old.

Records & Assurance

Production Methodology

Jack Daniel's makes its Tennessee whiskey from a mash of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye and mellows the new spirit through sugar-maple charcoal before it is barreled. For the first 10-Year-Old the distillery took that Old No. 7 whiskey and moved its barrels around the barrelhouse over ten years to extend the aging, then bottled the batch at 97 proof.
