Jack Daniel's Bonded 100 Proof Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whiskey | Bottled-in-Bond | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 700 mLProcess & Profile
Jack Daniel’s Bonded Tennessee Whiskey is part of the distillery’s Bonded Series, crafted in accordance with the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Made from Jack Daniel’s signature mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye, this whiskey undergoes the Lincoln County Process of charcoal mellowing before aging in new, handcrafted oak barrels with a unique heavy char. Bottled at 100 proof, it emphasizes robust character and depth while meeting the strict bottled-in-bond requirements: distilled in one season, by one distiller, at one distillery, and aged at least four years in a federally bonded warehouse.
