Jack-Daniels-Single-Barrel-Barrel-Proof-Whiskey-with-Box-600

Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof  (PREMIUM)
The closest thing one can get to drilling into a barrel and drinking the whiskey straight. It’s the interaction of the whiskey, the wood and the environment that creates barrel-to-barrel nuances, varied proof from 125 to 140, and brings out distinct flavor profiles that transcends ordinary and becomes Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof.
$65.

Gentleman-Jack-Male-Extravaganza (Copy)

Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack
Just like Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel, Gentleman Jack is charcoal mellowed before going into the barrel. Gentleman Jack, however, receives an additional “blessing” when it is charcoal mellowed again after reaching maturity giving it ultimate smoothness. Gentleman Jack is full-bodied with fruit and spices, and its finish is silky, warm, and pleasant.
