Jack Daniel’s is letting you in on another experimental whiskey in the Distillery Series. The 15th offering in the series is Tennessee Sweet Mash Straight Tennessee Whiskey.
What is the sweet mash process? The distillery describes it this way, “At the beginning of each distilling season, the Jack Daniel Distillery uses a sweet mash process during the cooking of grains. This sweet mash will kickstart production before establishing a setback to support our sour mash process for the remainder of the distilling season.”
Jack Daniel’s Sweet Mash Straight Tennessee Whiskey
Mash bill: 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye (like all Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskeys).
Tasting notes (from the distillery): “The sweet mash process along with the barrel age and location combine for a high-proof Tennessee Whiskey featuring rich butterscotch notes and undertones of pecan, berry and caramel.”
ABV: 58.5%
SRP: $44.99
“Our Distillery Series has experimented with every step in the whiskey making process from grain bill to barreling, and this release showcases yet another lever that we can pull and tweak here at the Jack Daniel Distillery. What excites me about this release is the complexity and richness that has emerged from a little extra time in the right places in our barrelhouses.”
