The distinct character of Jack Daniel's meets the rich influence of Oloroso sherry in this exceptional Distillery Series release, offering a depth of flavor perfect for the discerning palate. Selected by Whiskey Taster Randall Fanning, this limited 2023 bottling is a remarkable exploration of classic Tennessee whiskey elevated by European oak.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A captivating bouquet of dried fruit, notably figs and dates, intertwined with classic Jack Daniel's banana and toasted oak.Hints of dark chocolate, marzipan, and a subtle nuttiness emerge, backed by a faint spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. The Oloroso influence adds a distinct layer of sweet sherry and a touch of leather.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and medium-bodied, with an immediate wave of rich caramel and vanilla. The sherry cask influence delivers a delightful interplay of baked fruit – plums and raisins – with a nutty, almost roasted almond character. Traces of cherry and a gentle rye spice provide balance, leading to a warmth that builds gradually. The classic Jack Daniel's character of sweet corn and a touch of charcoal is present, beautifully integrated into the Oloroso profile.

Finish: A long and satisfying finish that lingers with notes of dark fruit, sweet oak, and a pleasing dryness from the sherry. A subtle tannic grip is present, alongside a whisper of black pepper and cocoa. The warmth dissipates slowly, leaving a pleasant memory of dried cherry and a faint, sweet nuttiness.
