JACK DANIEL DISTILLERY CELEBRATES 150th ANNIVERSARY WITH LIMITED EDITION WHISKEY
Registered with the federal government in 1866, Distillery is oldest in the U.S.

                                                                                                                                  

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (August 31, 2016) – In celebration of its 150th anniversary, the Jack Daniel Distillery will release a limited-edition, Tennessee whiskey to commemorate the historic occasion. The Distillery was founded in 1866 by young entrepreneur, Jasper Newton ‘Jack’ Daniel, whose name remains on every bottle still produced at the original distillery in Lynchburg, Tenn.

Master Distiller Jeff Arnett created a distinctive taste profile for this commemorative whiskey that combines the Distillery’s whiskey-making tradition with the artistry of modern-day craftsmanship.

 

“For this 150th anniversary whiskey, our coopers ‘slow-toasted’ the barrels to bring out the rich flavors and aromas of the wood, creating a contemporary expression of an 1866 barrel char,” explains Arnett. “We wanted to offer a unique whiskey that we think collectors and consumers alike will enjoy for their own celebrations and is as special as the anniversary that it celebrates.”

 

True to the process established by its founder, the grain bill for the anniversary whiskey is the same as the iconic Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7, consisting of 80 percent corn, 12 percent barley and 8 percent rye. Each drop was then mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal, before going into specially-crafted new American oak barrels, adhering to the guidelines required of a Tennessee whiskey.

 

Once filled, the barrels were placed in the “angel’s roost” of one of the oldest barrelhouses at the Distillery where whiskey has matured for generations at an elevation and with the exposure to sunlight that creates the perfect climate for the greatest interaction between the whiskey and barrel.

 

Barreled and bottled at 100 proof, the 150th Anniversary edition offers complex tasting notes of butterscotch and toffee upon first taste followed by a full, smooth and lingering finish with warm flavors of toasted oak.

 

The 150th anniversary whiskey will be available beginning September 1 with a suggested retail price of $99.99 for a 1L bottle.

JACK DANIEL’S CELEBRATES 150TH ANNIVERSARY WITH LAUNCH OF

FIRST-EVER WORLDWIDE WHISKEY BARREL HUNT

Ninety-day global scavenger hunt gives consumers a chance to win a piece of Jack Daniel’s

and Lynchburg history

 

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (June 22, 2016) – In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery, the oldest registered distillery in the U.S., Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey today announced the Jack Daniel’s Barrel Hunt, a global scavenger hunt that will unite Friends of Jack across the world. The first Barrel Hunt will take place at the home of the distillery in Lynchburg on July 1 and visit more than 50 countries in 90 days. Jack Daniel’s will provide clues via its local Facebook pages to help fans find the hidden whiskey barrels around the world, giving them the opportunity to win unique, specially designed prizes to commemorate the distillery’s 150th anniversary.

 

“Jack Daniel’s has grown from a local name in Lynchburg to an iconic brand in more than 170 countries by remaining true to its legacy of authenticity, independence and integrity,” said Mark McCallum, President of Jack Daniel’s. “The 150th anniversary is a major milestone for the distillery and is a perfect opportunity to invite everyone to join us in our celebration of Jack Daniel’s with our first-ever global Barrel Hunt.”

 

From July through September, 150 handcrafted whiskey barrels will be hidden in various regions across the globe at historic and cultural sites, with clues on Jack Daniel’s Facebook pages to help guide fans to the secret location. Clues tied to the history of each region will be provided on the day of each local Barrel Hunt and barrels will be opened when the first person to arrive speaks the correct barrel password. Updates and results will be shared as barrels are found around the world and prizes are claimed in each region.

 

Each hidden barrel in the scavenger hunt was handcrafted from the distillery and used to mature Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey before being specially fabricated for the Barrel Hunt to house prizes, including an original, one-of-a-kind bar kit made with white oak from the barrels. Barrel Hunt winners will also receive the authentic Jack Daniel’s barrel they found along with prizes tailored to each region that participates in the Barrel Hunt.

 

“The barrel is key to crafting Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey as it accounts for 100 percent of its color and 70 to 80 percent of its flavor,” said Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. “It’s an important part of our process that’s remained unchanged for 150 years, and that tradition will continue to live on in every barrel we make and each drop of our whiskey. The Barrel Hunt celebrates the distillery’s history and gives fans a chance to own a barrel and be forever linked to Jack Daniel’s.”

AMERICA’S OLDEST REGISTERED DISTILLERY TURNS 150 IN 2016

Jack Daniel’s celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (Feb. 23, 2016) – Jack Daniel’s has announced plans to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg and around the world in 2016. Through events, special promotions and new products, Jack Daniel’s will share the authentic stories of America’s oldest registered distillery with friends of Jack, both old and new.

In 1866, Jasper “Jack” Daniel had the foresight to place his distillery at a source of limestone water flowing from a cave spring in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Jack Daniel’s has been at the forefront of whiskey-making ever since. Today, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is a true global icon found in more than 165 countries around the world and is revered for its individual character and authenticity.

“In a world where change is a constant, it is an incredible achievement to be making whiskey in the same way, in the same place, after 150 years,” said Mark McCallum, President of Jack Daniel’s. “I believe the endurance and success of Jack Daniel’s is the result of our ability to continue to operate according to Mr. Jack’s lifelong motto, ‘Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.’ During this milestone anniversary, we will celebrate our history, traditions and values by continuing to tell the unique and powerful stories that make Jack Daniel’s the unique and very special global brand that it is today. We are looking forward to delighting our brand fans all over the world in some very special ways to celebrate this milestone for Jack Daniel’s.”

Jack Daniel’s 150th yearlong celebration includes:

  • Commemorative 150th Anniversary Bottles
  • Global Barrel Scavenger Hunt
  • Global Master Distiller for a Day Contest
  • Renovations and New Facilities at the Jack Daniel Distillery
  • Celebration Event in Lynchburg in October
  • Closing Bell Ringing and Anniversary Reception at the New York Stock Exchange

In the 150 years of the Jack Daniel Distillery, the distilling process has largely remained unchanged. From meticulously crafting each barrel to mellowing each drop of whiskey through 10 feet of charcoal, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is made with the same process pioneered and perfected by Mr. Jack himself. Today, the quiet town of Lynchburg still produces every single drop of the world’s Jack Daniel’s, proof that mastering a craft with a focus on quality can propel a brand beyond borders and across cultures.

JACK DANIEL’S SINGLE BARREL ANNOUNCES NEWEST ADDITION TO COLLECTION WITH LAUNCH OF SINGLE BARREL RYE

JACK DANIEL’S SINGLE BARREL ANNOUNCES NEWEST ADDITION TO COLLECTION WITH LAUNCH OF SINGLE BARREL RYE

Rye Features First New Grain Recipe from Jack Daniel’s in More Than 100 Years

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (February 10, 2016) – The Jack Daniel Distillery announces the nationwide release of the brand’s third offering within the Single Barrel Collection and first new grain bill in 100 years, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye. This expression marks the first time consumers can experience a fully matured rye product from Jack Daniel’s. The newest member of the Jack Daniel’s Family of Brands will be on shelves February 2016 and will be available across the U.S.

“Rye was one of the earliest forms of American whiskey and as the Master Distiller at Jack Daniel’s, I’m proud to honor that history with the release of Single Barrel Rye. There is a reemerging trend of rye whiskeys and we are excited to be able to give friends of Jack Daniel’s a chance to experience it,” said Jeff Arnett, Jack Daniel’s Master Distiller. “You never want to over-barrel a rye whiskey so it was important for us to stay true to the style with grain forward character rather than barrel character while still allowing our barrels to interplay with the whiskey. I’m confident that everyone will be as impressed as I am with the taste and character of this bold new rye offering.”

Rye, at 94-proof, is the Jack Daniel Distillery’s third offering in the Single Barrel Collection which includes Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select and Barrel Proof. Select is a 94-proof single barrel Tennessee Whiskey and Barrel Proof ranges from 125 to 140 proof. Each expression in the Single Barrel Collection offers a robust, full-bodied flavor complemented by Jack Daniel’s smooth, unmistakable character. Together, Select, Barrel Proof and Rye combine to create the world’s finest collection of single barrel Tennessee Whiskey.

Rye is crafted using a unique 70 percent rye, 18 percent corn and 12 percent malted barley grain bill giving the whiskey a clean, sweet tone at the tip of the tongue with a more distinct and slightly shorter finish than other Single Barrel offerings. Rye also uses the same cave spring water from the Jack Daniel’s Hollow and proprietary yeast that’s been used in the distillery’s 150-year-old Tennessee Whiskey recipe. From there, the liquid enters a charred White American Oak barrel, crafted at Jack Daniel’s very own cooperage and set to age in the upper regions of the barrelhouse. In this resting place, the whiskey is exposed to the extreme temperature variations that a Lynchburg, Tennessee season brings. The interaction of the whiskey, the wood and the environment brings out distinct flavor profiles that transcend what you would expect of a rye whiskey to become Single Barrel Rye.

Single Barrel Rye completes the distillery’s journey into rye whiskies, following limited release batches of Rested Rye in 2014 and Unaged Rye in 2012, allowing fans to taste the maturing rye over time. Rye starts off lightly sweet and mid-palate opens up to a dried fruit and trail mix flavor, finishing slightly shorter than the other Single Barrels as Rye is much more about grain rather than barrel character. Rye is a complex and robust whiskey that brings something unique to the palates of Jack Daniel’s friends and whiskey enthusiasts alike.

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye will be available nationwide beginning February 2016. The product will be priced approximately $49.99 per 750ml.

Final customization work was designed and completed by Brian Klock and his inspired team at Klock Werks in Mitchell, S.D. Additional details on the production schedule and ordering process will be released during Daytona Bike Week.

“It’s a pleasure to partner again with our friends at Jack Daniel’s on this project as a tribute to originality and American craftsmanship, and to do so for the benefit of our military personnel and their families,” said Steve Menneto, President of Motorcycles for Polaris Industries. “Jack Daniel’s and Indian Motorcycle proudly support our troops, military families and our veterans and we are honored to join forces again in 2016.”

JACK DANIEL’S ANNOUNCES SINATRA CENTURY IN CELEBRATION OF FRANK SINATRA’S 100TH BIRTHDAY

JACK DANIEL’S ANNOUNCES SINATRA CENTURY IN CELEBRATION OF FRANK SINATRA’S 100TH BIRTHDAY

The Newest Ultra-Premium Limited Edition Expression is a Salute to a Century of Sinatra

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (October 1, 2015) – The Jack Daniel Distillery announces today the upcoming nationwide release of Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century, the brand’s latest collaboration with the Sinatra Family to celebrate The Chairman of the Board’s Centennial. Hitting shelves October 1, Sinatra Century is the latest ultra-premium whiskey from the Jack Daniel’s family to commemorate Jack and Frank’s special friendship. As a limited edition expression, only 100 barrels of Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century are being made available in individually numbered bottles making each as unique as the man to which it’s attributed.

 

The relationship between Frank Sinatra and Jack Daniel’s is legendary, special and authentic and one that still holds strong to this day. First recommended by friend Jackie Gleason, the Tennessee Whiskey quickly became Sinatra’s signature drink. During performances, he kept a glass of Jack Daniel’s on a nearby stool on stage. It was his drink of choice at bars in his favorite cities, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Chicago, Miami and (of course) New York.

 

Master Distiller Jeff Arnett created Sinatra Century through the careful selection of specially crafted barrels. Tasting his custom selections with the Sinatra family, he sought a bold, refined flavor that is befitting Sinatra’s legacy.

 

“At the Jack Daniel’s Distillery in Lynchburg, we worked very hard to achieve a special flavor and aroma for Sinatra Century in order to give Frank a proper 100th birthday gift,” says Arnett. “This meant working with the people who knew him the most, his family, and honoring the legacy that he has shaped with our brand. We have created a product that we know the public will love just as much as Frank did.”

 

Like all of Jack Daniel’s expressions, Sinatra Century is crafted using the same cave spring water from the Jack Daniel’s Hollow, proprietary yeast and charcoal-mellowing process that’s been used in the distillery’s nearly 150-year-old Tennessee Whiskey recipe. From there, the whiskey enters specially selected “Sinatra” barrels hand-picked by Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. In those barrels, the liquid is exposed to extra layers of perfectly toasted oak through a grooving process only done at the Jack Daniel’s Cooperage. This allows the ultra-premium whiskey to achieve a pleasantly smoky and rich oak aroma that Sinatra was known to adore.

 

Commenting on Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century, Frank Sinatra Jr. explains, “Sinatra Century is a fitting tribute to Dad and the perfect way to mark his centenary in December. Jack Daniel’s was Dad’s drink of choice, whether entertaining friends, or making new acquaintances. Therefore, it only seems right that we raise a toast of Sinatra Century to the musical legend as we celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday this year.”

 

Sinatra Century, at 100 proof, is the Jack Daniel Distillery’s second offering to commemorate Frank Sinatra. The first was Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select, a 90-proof premium Tennessee Whiskey with a bold, yet exceedingly smooth flavor profile. Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select was introduced in 2013.

 

This one-time, limited release of Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century will be available nationwide beginning early October 2015 and will be the only available selection of the whiskey. Each exclusive bottle will be enclosed in a luxury gift box inspired by the legendary singer’s signature style. Additionally, the set will also offer a selection of previously unreleased Sinatra tracks, entitled “Sinatra Live at the Sands in 1966,” to accompany the specially designed Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Century bottle. The product will be priced approximately $499.99 per 1L.

These items are currently available in select stores with additional options to follow. All varieties are prepared with the special flavoring of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey whiskey.

“Given the success of the traditional Jack Daniel’s offerings, and the growing interest of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey as a cooking ingredient, this expansion makes perfect sense,” said Casey Nelson, Brand Director of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey. “There’s always been a known connection between whiskey and barbeque, and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey brings in flavors of maple, brown sugar, honey and pecan making it an ideal complement.

JACK DANIEL’S FLAVORS FORGE OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP WITH RUMCHATA

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Partner with RumChata

LYNCHBURG, Tenn. (August 27, 2015) – The Jack Daniel’s Flavors team is excited to announce an official partnership with the award-winning cream liqueur brand, RumChata. The partnership of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey and RumChata leverages the strengths of all three brands to maximize exposure across both trade and consumers by highlighting their mixability throughout the year-long campaign.

The partnership originated from the organic consumer trend of mixing RumChata with flavored whiskies such as Jack Honey a.k.a. “Honey Chata” and Jack Fire a.k.a. “Cinnamon Toast.” The campaign will introduce an aligned drink strategy across each brand’s communication strengths.

“Partnering with RumChata is an excellent and organic way to build on the existing popularity and success of Jack Fire and Jack Honey in the U.S.,” said Casey Nelson, Brand Director Jack Daniel’s Flavors. “We look forward to providing consumers a new way to enjoy their favorite flavored whiskeys with RumChata – a one of a kind cream liqueur.”

The year-long campaign will consist of co-branded print and trade ads in lifestyle and beverage publications, dual/triple branded tool kits, an increased trade and consumer media spend, and On Premise National Account menu placements. Both brands will also create and promote unique recipe videos on YouTube as well as seasonal cocktails featuring Jack Daniel’s and RumChata.

“As a young brand, RumChata is very honored to be partnering with such an iconic spirit like Jack Daniel’s,” said Tom Maas, RumChata founder and master blender. “We are very excited that consumers’ and bartenders’ love for both of our brands have brought us together.”

RumChata’s proprietary mix of five times distilled Caribbean rum, fresh dairy cream, cinnamon, vanilla and other spices from around the world lends itself to a unique mixability with Jack Honey and Jack Fire. Since its launch in 2009, it has surpassed the volume of other liqueur staples like Bailey’s and Kahlua in many U.S. markets, reaching sales of 540,000 cases in calendar year 2014. Last year, it won the Beverage Information Group Growth Brands Award for the fifth year in a row, a Fast Track Brand Award and an IMPACT Hot Brand Award for the third year in a row.

Jack Daniel’s flavor portfolio of Jack Fire and Jack Honey both bring together the distinctive character of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey with powerful flavor complements. The brand’s first flavor variation, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, exploded onto the scene in the spring of 2011 and has since become one of the most popular flavored spirits in the U.S. Launched in 2015, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire also offers existing fans and newly interested consumers another flavor option with an infusion of Jack Daniel’s and its red-hot cinnamon spice liqueur for a sweet, hot-cinnamon kick giving a unique finish full of unmistakable character.
