This is the third release in the Tennessee-only series of special editions selected by the tasting panel at Jack Daniel’s, and was picked by Master Distiller Jeff Arnett. It’s finished in Tennessee red wine casks from an unnamed winemaker for around eight months, and has a dry, fruity nose with touches of red grapes, peaches, and apricots along with charred oak, honey, and vanilla. The taste is tart and fruity with spicy notes of clove and cinnamon balanced by touches of fresh berries, black cherries and apricots while vanilla and caramel add complexity in the background. The finish is long and fruity with a hint of blackberry jam. (May, 2020)
