Attention Whiskey Lovers: Jack Daniel's New American Single Malt Touches Down

By Author

Published on September 28, 2023

When it comes to whiskey, we often think of Scotch, bourbon, or rye, but there's a new contender on the block that's making waves – Jack Daniel's American Single Malt Whiskey. Yes, you read that right; the iconic distillery, known for their Tennessee whiskey, is stepping into the single malt world, and it's already creating quite a buzz. Jack Daniel's isn't new to the world of experimentation. They've been tinkering with the idea of single malt since 2012 and made a limited edition release last year. Now, they're going for a more consistent flavour profile, ensuring that each bottle captures the essence of their unique take on single malt.

Jack Daniel's, rooted in Lynchburg, Tennessee, has been crafting whiskey for over 150 years, and now they've decided to explore uncharted waters. What sets their single malt apart is that it's made from 100% malted barley, a departure from the corn and rye typically found in their other whiskeys. The result? A nuttier and biscuit-like flavour that's alluringly different.Unlike traditional single malts, which often have a smoky, peaty flavour, Jack Daniel's American Single Malt Whiskey stands out with its absence of peat. Instead, it boasts the same yeast used in their renowned Tennessee and rye whiskeys, giving it a unique character rooted in tradition.

Where to Locate Jack Daniel's Single Malt

While this single malt was born in Lynchburg, its release is far from local. With its debut, Jack Daniel's aims to elevate its brand worldwide. Available in select-duty free retail locations across the globe, it's poised to make a statement in the international whiskey scene.

What Can You Expect From A Sip

Picture soft oak, cocoa, and fruit aromas, coupled with the rich flavours of dark chocolate-covered nuts and berries, all culminating in a sweet Oloroso Sherry finish. It's a delightful journey for your taste buds.

Anticipating What's Next:

While the American Single Malt Whiskey is currently found primarily in duty-free shops and select military bases, there's hope that it may eventually reach a broader audience. The folks at Jack Daniel's are setting their sights on creating a modern twist on American single malt, a unique flavour that captures the essence of Tennessee.

As you travel the world, keep an eye out for this gem, and experience the unique blend of history and flavour that only Jack Daniel's can deliver.
