Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey
Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey
Smooth, balanced, and unmistakably American, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 stands as a timeless symbol of craftsmanship and character. Produced in the historic town of Lynchburg, Tennessee, this whiskey is made using pure cave spring water and a mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, before being slowly charcoal-mellowed drop by drop — a defining process known as the Lincoln County Process.
Aged in handcrafted, charred oak barrels, it develops its signature notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and gentle spice. The result is a whiskey of rich flavour and inviting warmth, perfectly balanced between sweetness and depth.
Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel, the distillery remains the oldest registered in the United States and continues to uphold the same methods that made Old No. 7 a global icon. Recognised by its square bottle and black label, Jack Daniel’s is more than a whiskey — it’s a piece of American heritage, enjoyed by millions around the world for its smoothness, consistency, and unmistakable Tennessee soul.
Overview
Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is one of the world’s most iconic whiskeys — smooth, characterful, and unmistakably American. Made in Lynchburg, Tennessee, this celebrated Tennessee whiskey is crafted from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, then slowly filtered through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before ageing in hand-toasted, charred oak barrels. This charcoal mellowing, known as the Lincoln County Process, imparts Jack Daniel’s its signature softness and depth, setting it apart from traditional bourbons.
The result is a whiskey that balances sweetness and spice with notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a touch of ripe fruit. Smooth and approachable, yet full-flavoured, Jack Daniel’s No. 7 is enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of countless classic cocktails.
