The Jack Daniel’s Bonded Series
Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye
To qualify as Bottled-in-Bond, a whiskey must come from a single distillery, and a single distilling season, aged in a government-bonded warehouse for a minimum of four years, and bottled at least 100 proof (50% ABV). The bottles in this impressive series tick all of those boxes, let's take a closer look!
A look at the range
As long as they stick to the rules regarding location, distilling season, ageing, and bottling strength, distillers can still explore a wide array of whiskey styles and mash bills.
Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye
Bonded Rye is made with a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley. Like the classic No. 7, this is filtered through charcoal after distillation and aged in new American oak casks. If you like a big spicy flavour in your cocktails, then you've come to the right place.
Tasting Notes
Nose:
An enticing mixture of sweet soft fruits mingling with cinnamon, ginger, clove and vanilla.
Palate:
Bold and spicy balanced with sweeter notes of toffee, dried fruit and chocolate.
Finish:
Lingering black pepper and chilli heat with caramel.
The 133 Boulevardier
A twist on the classic Boulevardier cocktail, and superbly simple with just three ingredients! While traditional recipes call for bourbon and a bitter liqueur, the use of rye and grapefruit works a treat in this recipe.
