What proof is Jack Daniel's 10 Year Batch 1?
Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch 1 was bottled at 97 proof, or 48.5% ABV — the strength the 10-Year has carried in every batch since. As a batched annual release, that figure is fixed for every bottle of Batch 1, and it sits as the gentlest proof in the Aged Series, below the 12-Year's 107.
When was Jack Daniel's 10 Year Batch 1 released?
Batch 1 launched in September 2021, in limited quantities in the United States only. It opened Jack Daniel's Aged Series, the annual run of age-stated releases that later added a 12-Year and then a 14-Year expression.
Why was Jack Daniel's 10 Year Batch 1 significant?
It was Jack Daniel's first whiskey with a double-digit age statement in more than a century — the distillery had not put a number like that on a label since the early 1900s. The 2021 debut restarted age statements at Lynchburg and set the template for the numbered annual batches that followed.
