Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey (Batch 3) Review

It’s fair to say Jack Daniel’s Distillery has been on a hot streak. Its relatively new bonded expressions — Tennessee whiskey, rye, and triple mash — have already earned recognition as quality budget staples. The single barrel, barrel proof expressions have busted some preconceived notions of quality the distillery can accomplish at scale. And the annual special releases have quickly ascended to chase bottle status, even if they don’t all hit the high marks of 2021’s Coy Hill expression.

Jack’s age stated bottlings, currently released annually as 10 and 12 year expressions, have taken things even further. Though flavors (and subsequent ratings) vary from one release to the next, all thus far have showcased how well Jack’s Tennessee whiskey performs with additional time in the barrel. Master Distiller Chris Fletcher has said the distillery has sights set on even older expressions, with age statements that could reach 21 years.

Today, we’re looking at Batch 3 of Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey. It’s made from the classic Jack mashbill of 80 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley, and 8 percent rye. According to a brand press release, the whiskey was “charcoal mellowed and aged in new, toasted, and charred American white oak barrels first in the upper floors of our barrelhouse before being relocated to the lower ricks to extend the maturation process.”

Let’s dive in and see how it tastes!
