This release represents a significant elevation of the classic Old No. 7 profile, adhering to the strict regulations of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. To carry the bonded designation, this whiskey must be distilled by a single distiller during a single season, aged for at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. It is a robust, vintage-inspired expression that honours the distillery’s history while delivering a punchier, more substantial experience than the standard flagship pouring.
Tasting Notes: The nose is immediately richer and more concentrated than the standard Jack Daniel’s, leading with deep aromas of caramel, heavy oak, and seared corn, backed by a subtle hint of banana bread and dark brown sugar. On the palate, the higher proof makes itself known with a bold, viscous texture that coats the mouth. You will find intensified flavours of dried apricots, vanilla bean, and toasted almond, balanced by a backbone of peppery rye spice. The finish is long, warm, and drying, leaving lingering notes of baking spices and a touch of smoke that invites another sip.
