Jack Daniel’s Red Dog Saloon Commemorative Bottle, 70 cl

This special edition bottling of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Red Dog Saloon, which was opened by Mr. Daniel himself in Lynchburg – the same town in which his whiskey is distilled. Bottled at the slightly higher-than-usual ABV of 43%, this would make for a most suitable toast to the legendary drinkery Jack is in fact one Jasper Newton Daniel who learnt the art of making whiskey from none other than a Preacher. By 1866 his confidence was such that he established the very first registered distillery in the US. I wonder if he ever imagined the heights that his Distillery would scale? Clove and black pepper come through clear, with classic caramel and baked apple notes in support.
