Jack Daniel's 12-Year-Old Batch 4 is the newest of the run — announced March 2026 with Batch 5 of the 10-Year and Batch 2 of the 14-Year — and the first 12-Year the distillery gave a genuinely new tasting note rather than recycling the one it wrote in 2023. 107 proof, twelve years, the same 80/12/8 mash.

The Elemental Distinction

  • The fourth and, as of mid-2026, newest 12-Year — released March 2026 in a three-expression Aged Series wave: 10-Year Batch 5 at 97 proof, this at 107, and 14-Year Batch 2 at 117.6.
  • The first 12-Year with a genuinely new producer note. Batches 1 and 3 shared one word for word; this one reads maple, brown sugar, graham cracker, subtle banana and oak into cinnamon, maple candy, caramel and vanilla, finishing on caramel, dry oak and baking spices.
  • 107 proof (53.5% ABV) — four batches in, the figure has never moved, though the distillery has never committed to it as permanent the way it has with the 10-Year's 97.
  • Same grain bill as Old No. 7: 80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye, charcoal-mellowed before barreling.
  • Twelve years in new toasted and charred American white oak — upper floors of the barrelhouse first, then relocated to the lower ricks.
  • Batch-bound page: Batch 4 only, distinct from every earlier numbered bottling.

Sensory Profile

Producer note (March 2026): maple, brown sugar, graham cracker, subtle banana and oak on the nose; cinnamon, maple candy, caramel and vanilla on the palate; a finish of caramel, dry oak and baking spices. Worth noting: this is the first genuinely new 12-Year note the distillery has written — Batches 1 and 3 shared one identical wording.

The distillery's own framing, which matters here: Jack Daniel's states that while batches in the Aged Series carry slight variations, the predominant notes of oak, butterscotch and tobacco can be found in each whiskey. Its batch notes are written at the expression level and reused — so the attributed reviewer readings below do the work of telling one batch from another.

This batch, attributed: tasting a distillery-supplied sample in March 2026, Tasting Table found it markedly earthier than the 10-Year despite the shared mash — menthol, dried tobacco, charred oak, leather and smoke at the front, with caramelised brown sugar, roasted walnuts and baking spice behind.

Strategic Position

The newest arrival on the twelve-year shelf at Midnight Whiskey, and the batch that finally got its own words: after two releases sharing a note, Batch 4 reads maple and graham cracker rather than pipe tobacco and butterscotch. Behind it is the February 2025 third batch; beside it that March, the 2026 10-year batch, the middle rung of a series now three deep.

Collector Note

Batch 4 is the buy-at-retail window: the current 12-Year, still moving through allocation rather than the secondary market, and the cheapest way into the expression. It also has a quiet distinction worth knowing — it is the first 12-Year Jack Daniel's described in its own terms rather than repeating the 2023 copy, which suggests the distillery found something in these barrels worth saying. A full run is now four deep: 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, one batch a year, no gaps. Neck stamp identifies it.

Recommended Serving

Neat, tulip, no water on the first pour — take the maple-and-graham-cracker line as the thing to test rather than assume, since it is the first note in this expression's history that was not recycled. A drop of water on the second pour brings the baking-spice finish forward. Poured in the March 2026 flight it belongs to — 10-Year, 12-Year, 14-Year, in that order — it is the rung where the oak first outweighs the sweetness.

Production Methodology

Specification is identity in this series: 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye, the same grain bill as Old No. 7, mellowed through ten feet of sugar-maple charcoal before the barrel — the Lincoln County Process — then twelve years in new, toasted and charred American white oak. The Aged Series runs a two-stage maturation: the upper floors of the barrelhouse first, where Lynchburg's heat drives extraction hardest, then relocation to the lower ricks to extend the ageing without the oak dominating. Jack Daniel's announced Batch 4 in March 2026 at 107 proof, in a wave with Batch 5 of the 10-Year and Batch 2 of the 14-Year.

Frequently Asked Questions

What proof is Jack Daniel's 12 Year Batch 4?

Batch 4 is bottled at 107 proof, or 53.5% ABV — the strength every 12-Year batch has carried since the 2023 debut. Unlike the 10-Year, which Jack Daniel's has effectively locked at 97 proof, the distillery has never committed to 107 as permanent for this expression, so the figure is worth reading off the label rather than assuming.

Is Jack Daniel's 12 Year Batch 4 the current release?

Yes — as of mid-2026, Batch 4 is the newest 12-Year in the Aged Series, the fourth since the expression debuted in March 2023. It was announced in March 2026 alongside Batch 5 of the 10-Year and Batch 2 of the 14-Year. Each batch is its own bottling; earlier batches remain in circulation as separate, numbered releases.

What does Jack Daniel's 12 Year Batch 4 taste like?

Jack Daniel's describes maple, brown sugar, graham cracker, subtle banana and oak on the nose, then cinnamon, maple candy, caramel and vanilla, finishing on caramel, dry oak and baking spices. That note is worth more than most in this series: Batches 1 and 3 shared an identical description, so Batch 4 is the first 12-Year the distillery wrote fresh words for. One reviewer tasting a distillery sample found it earthier still — menthol, dried tobacco, charred oak, leather and smoke, with caramelised brown sugar and roasted walnuts behind.
