The oldest Jack Daniel's whiskey available in over a century showcases the brand's newfound commitment to aged, premium spirits.Lynchburg TodayJack Daniel's has introduced a new 14-year-old Tennessee whiskey as part of its limited-edition Aged Series, marking the oldest barrel-aged bottle the distillery has offered in over 100 years. The complex, mature flavor profile of the 14-year expression, featuring notes of cherry, butterscotch, leather, and pipe tobacco, places it among premium selections like Russell's Reserve 15-year Bourbon.
Why it matters
The Aged Series has generated significant buzz since its introduction in 2021, as Jack Daniel's had not sold aged whiskey for over a century prior. The limited availability and unique flavor profile of these aged expressions have made them highly sought after by whiskey enthusiasts.
The details
Jack Daniel's first offered aged whiskey with age statements of 10 to 21 years when the company's founder, Jack Daniel, was alive. However, state Prohibition, Daniel's passing in 1911, and eventually nationwide Prohibition forced the distillery to stop all operations and focus on producing a consistent flavor profile rather than aged expressions. The Aged Series, which began in 2021, has slowly introduced new batches of 10-year, 12-year, and now 14-year Tennessee whiskey, with plans for even older 18-year and 21-year expressions in the future.
- The 14-year Tennessee whiskey was first introduced in 2025 as part of the Aged Series.
- The Aged Series began in 2021 with a 10-year expression, followed by 12-year in 2023, and the 14-year in 2025.
- Jack Daniel's plans to release 18-year and 21-year aged expressions in the coming years.
