Sipsy
Jack Daniel’s 12-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey is a sweet, creamy and exceptionally refined expression that showcases the careful craft of one of the category’s most iconic houses. Distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee, this whiskey benefits from the distinctive Lincoln County aging method, where the spirit is filtered through sugar maple charcoal before aging in new oak casks. This mellowing process imparts a smooth, velvety texture and helps to soften the oak-driven character, resulting in a remarkably balanced and approachable dram even at higher age statements.
The mash bill is 80% corn, 12% rye, and 8% malted barley, a ratio that delivers a subtle, spicy backbone layered beneath a pronounced sweetness. After being aged for 12 years, the whiskey develops a rich, refined profile with complex aromas of toasted oak, caramel, vanilla, and a hint of smokiness that lingers on the nose. On the palate, expect a harmonious blend of sweet vanilla and caramel notes, creamy vanilla custard, and gentle spice from the rye, all carried by a full, smooth mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a soft oakiness and a final whisper of sweetness that invites the next sip. An excellent companion for reflective sipping, or for pairing with desserts that feature caramel, butterscotch, or dark chocolate.
