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.

Anticipating What's Next:

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.
