What is Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old?
It is the entry age in the Jack Daniel Distillery's Aged Series, a line of age-stated Tennessee whiskeys released in annual batches. The whiskey uses the standard Jack Daniel's mash of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye, is charcoal-mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple before the barrel, and spends ten years in new American white oak at Lynchburg.
What proof is the Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old Batch 5?
Batch 5 is bottled at 97 proof, or 48.5% ABV, in a 700 mL bottle. The Jack Daniel Distillery announced it on 24 March 2026 alongside Batch 4 of the 12-Year-Old at 107 proof and Batch 2 of the 14-Year-Old at 117.6 proof.
Is Jack Daniel's a bourbon?
It meets the federal requirements for bourbon, but the distillery labels and sells it as Tennessee whiskey. The difference is the Lincoln County Process: before barrelling, the new spirit is filtered through ten feet of sugar-maple charcoal, a step Tennessee law requires and federal bourbon rules do not mention.
