Jack Daniel’s Goes Gold In No. 27 Gold Tennessee Whiskey

It is not an uncommon experience when American whiskey drinkers travel overseas and see bottlings of their favorite brands back home they’ve never encountered before while in the States. This includes fans of Jack Daniel’s, who will be jealous to know the United Kingdom is getting a new variant of this Tennessee whiskey that’s described as being “a rich, refined and distinctively finished expression” of the original Old No. 7.

Known as Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold Tennessee Whiskey, this release has slowly been trickling out around the globe, starting in travel retail markets. What you have here is a 40% ABV whiskey which has gone through double maturation, firstly in new charred white oak barrels then in maple barrels, before being mellowed twice through a sugar maple charcoal filtration process.

“With only 500 cases produced,” said Nidal Ramini, head of brand advocacy at Jack Daniel’s parent company Brown-FormanJack, in a statement, “Daniel’s No 27 Gold really showcases the great skill and craftsmanship of the team at the distillery in Lynchburg, so we’re confident that existing whiskey drinkers and those trying a high-end American whiskey for the first time will be impressed by its quality and rich smooth taste.”
