JACK DANIEL’s ‘1981’ Gold Medal Series 2006 1L

Jack Daniel’s is a world-famous brand of Tennessee whiskey produced in Lynchburg, Tennessee, United States. It is one of the most recognizable and best-selling whiskey brands globally. The distillery was founded by Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel in the 1860s, and it has a long and storied history.

Key features and aspects of Jack Daniel’s:

1. Tennessee Whiskey: Jack Daniel’s is classified as a Tennessee whiskey, which means it meets specific requirements for production in the state of Tennessee. Like bourbon, it is made primarily from corn, but what sets Tennessee whiskey apart is the “Lincoln County Process.” This process involves filtering the newly distilled whiskey through charcoal made from sugar maple before aging it in barrels.
2. Charcoal Mellowing: The charcoal mellowing process that Jack Daniel’s undergoes is a crucial step in its production. Before aging in barrels, the whiskey is filtered drop by drop through charcoal, a method that imparts smoothness and removes impurities, giving it a unique and distinctive flavor.
3. Distillation and Aging: Jack Daniel’s is distilled in copper stills and aged in new charred oak barrels, which contribute to the whiskey’s flavor profile. The aging process allows the whiskey to develop rich flavors and acquire color from the charred wood.
