Jack Daniel’s 14 Year Old: A Bold New Chapter in Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel’s continue its streak of premium releases with the unveiling of its oldest age-stated whiskey in modern history–a 14 year old expression bottled at a bold 61.3% ABV. Released alongside batch three of its 12 year old and batch four of its 10 year old, this whiskey builds on the distillery’s recent commitment to high-quality, age-stated offerings. Crafted with the classic Jack Daniel’s mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye, the extra aging enhances flavors of sweet bakery spices, cinnamon, butterscotch, leather, oak, and piped tobacco. Master Distiller Chris Fletcher’s leadership has transformed Jack Daniel’s reputation, proving that the world’s largest whiskey brand isn’t content with just tradition–it’s pushing boundaries.
With the success of its Bonded Series and special releases like Coy Hill, Jack Daniel’s has shown it can meet the growing demand for higher-proof, flavor-forward whiskeys. The real challenge now? Availability. These releases are highly sought after, and the 14 year old expression will likely be no exception. Whether I find this on a store shelf or get a pour at a bar, this is a whiskey that deserves my attention.
