What is Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old?
It is the age-stated Tennessee whiskey that opens Jack Daniel's annual Aged Series: the classic 80% corn / 12% malted barley / 8% rye mash, charcoal-mellowed through the Lincoln County Process and matured ten years in new charred American oak at Lynchburg. This page covers Batch 04, the 2025 release, bottled at 97 proof (48.5% ABV).
Is Jack Daniel's a bourbon?
By mash bill and production it meets the legal definition of bourbon, but Jack Daniel's labels it Tennessee whiskey because of an extra step - mellowing the new-make spirit through ten feet of sugar-maple charcoal, the Lincoln County Process, before it goes into the barrel.
How is Jack Daniel's 10 Year Batch 4 different from earlier batches?
Batch 4, released in 2025, was the first 10-Year batch offered outside the United States — Jack Daniel's lists it for the US and select international markets, where Batches 1 through 3 were US-only. The proof is unchanged at 97; the distillery described this batch as oak-forward with layers of dark fruit and bittersweet cocoa. The international run is also why a 700 ml export bottle of this batch exists — the fill Midnight Whiskey stocks.
