About this bottle
This Tennessee whiskey represents the first 14-year-old expression within the brand's Aged Series. It utilizes the same classic mash bill as other expressions in the series and the flagship Old No. 7, consisting of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. After undergoing mellowing through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal, it is aged in new, toasted, and charred American white oak barrels. The barrels were initially placed on upper floors of the barrelhouse before being moved to lower racks to extend maturation. Bottled at barrel strength, this whiskey will be available in limited quantities across the US starting in February 2025. (SRP $149.99/700ml)

NEAT // $36 Pour
AROMA - Banana Laffy Taffy, Caramel, Honey, and Charred Oak
TASTE - Dark, Rich, and Viscous. Loads of Caramel, Honey and Oak.
FINISH - The finish goes on for days and is full of charred oak and bannana.
BUY? - Yes, at MSRP or slightly over. $250 would probably be my cap. However, if you can find a Jack 12 from this year, I’d 100% get that over this if you were comparing based on secondary prices. Jack 12 is $200 on secondary as opposed to $400 and up for Jack 14. This is good whiskey and a steal at MSRP, but just doesn’t live up to the secondary value and the hype in my opinion. The Jack 12 (Batch 3) is one of the best whiskies I’ve ever tried.

Possessing the 10, 12, and now this superb 14-year-old. Opening it tonight and sampling it neat. Discoveries include brown sugar, vanilla, clove, molasses, cinnamon, warm sugar, and peanut butter cookies. It hits the palate with heat and leaves a lasting finish. I will revisit this one to observe the effect of a few drops of water.
RReese Moreno4.5
Smells of charcoal, caramel, vanilla, rich chocolate cake, cinnamon, butterscotch, maple syrup, orange peel, very subtle soy sauce, and cherry. The palate is hot and spicy, with cherry, cinnamon, Grand Marnier, oak, char, apple, and bitter citrus peel. A spicy, peppery finish.
CCalvin Roman4.5
The barrel strength was surprisingly smooth on the finish. 14 years certainly contributes to the oak, caramel, and classic Jack banana notes. However, it was very smooth, and a complimentary pour is always welcome!
