Why You’ll Love Jack Daniel’s 12 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey – Batch 2

Unlike anything you’ve tasted from Jack Daniel’s, this 12-year-old whiskey benefits from extensive aging in the upper levels of the rickhouses, where Tennessee’s dramatic temperature swings enhance barrel interaction. The result? A beautifully matured whiskey that balances rich oak influence with velvety sweetness and lingering spice.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Glowing deep amber with bronze hues—visual proof of its rich barrel heritage.

Nose

An inviting bouquet of caramelized brown sugar, baking spice, and toasted American oak. Beneath the surface lie hints of molasses, ripe fig, and a soft whisper of leather.

Palate

Smooth yet bold. The first sip reveals notes of dark honey, spiced vanilla, and toasted nuts, followed by deeper tones of dried fruits, dark chocolate, and cigar box woodiness. The 12 years of aging amplify the complexity without overwhelming the senses.

Finish

Long and satisfying. You’ll savor lingering notes of charred oak, warming spice, and a gentle smoky essence. A beautifully cohesive ending that leaves you wanting more.

Craftsmanship You Can Taste

The Lincoln County Process

Before barreling, every drop is mellowed through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal. This defining step softens the spirit and builds the foundation for Jack Daniel’s famous smoothness—even in a 12-year-old expression with bold character.

Barrel Influence & Aging

Spending over a decade in select upper-floor barrels allows for intense interaction with the oak, creating deeper vanilla and spice notes while enriching the whiskey’s color, texture, and flavor complexity.

Perfect Pairings

• Dark Chocolate Truffles
• Aged Gouda or Parmigiano-Reggiano
• Smoked almonds or pecans
• After-dinner espresso or fine cigars
