The Jack Daniel Distillery introduces Distillery Series selection #11, a Tennessee Whiskey finished in añejo tequila barrels, which marry the flavors of agave and oak. The American White Oak barrels for this experimental whiskey first aged Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, then they matured añejo tequila in Mexico before returning to Lynchburg to finish this Tennessee Whiskey.

Finishing the whiskey in añejo tequila barrels brings together flavors of agave and oak, with aromas of sweet citrus and light oak on the nose and a taste of brown sugar and dried spices. It’s crowned with notes of the matured añejo tequila with a sweet Tennessee Whiskey finish, achieved through the distinctive barrel aging process.

“Maybe it helps that I love a good tequila, but I found this whiskey quite satisfying. As mentioned above, other tequila-barrel finishes I’ve tried have been overly sweet, but the Jack Daniel’s Distillery Series No. 11 balances the classic Tennessee whiskey recipe well with the añejo, showing a skilled hand from Master Distiller Fletcher and Taster Danny Lamb.” – Jerry Jenae Sampson, The Whiskey Wash
