Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack Tennessee Whiskey, 700ml

Product Information

It features butterscotch sweetness and toasted oak with hints of overripe cherries, nuts, and vanilla. Due to the historic nature of the architecture of Shibden Hall there is restricted access for wheelchair users to the Ground Floor only.

After the mash bill is fermented for 3-5 days, JD’s will be filtered in 10 ft sugar maple charcoal, aka Lincoln County Process [ 1 ]. Not much is publicly known about whether Jack Daniel’s selects specific barrels to turn into Gentleman Jack Whiskey or indiscriminately divert some percentage of regular Jack for the second filtering. Jack Daniel in Lynchburg, Tennessee, is one of the most well-known producers of whiskey in the world. Crafted by combining traditional methods with a unique process that’s all its own, Gentleman Jack is double-mellowed through sugar maple for exceptional smoothness.Gentleman Jack Whiskey starts with moderate honey and graham cracker sweetness followed by charred wood, crushed peanuts, and uncooked rice. The fact is other brands like Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof were introduced to satisfy consumers' like me who have an appetite for a more robust and unique Jack Daniel’s experience. Its distinctive character is a result of natural fermentation, careful distillation, and use of the Distillery’s iron-free water from the Cave Spring that runs at a constant 56° F. While both are maple charcoal filtered / mellowed prior to barreling, Gentleman Jack Whiskey is charcoal filtered one more time prior to bottling, supposedly adding complexity and mellowness to the whiskey. Gentleman Jack is a perfect balance of vanilla, caramel, and oak that lands squarely on the sweet, easy-drinking side.

The whiskey’s even-keel nature overflows into the finish with just a touch of spice accenting lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, and honey. In addition to undergoing the charcoal mellowing process before aging, Gentleman Jack whiskey undergoes the process again before being bottled.

Fans of low proof bourbons (such as Basil Hayden’s as an example of a bourbon that others often refer to as their go-to) should find a lot to like with Gentleman Jack. Shibden Hall is the focus of the BBC drama series written by Sally Wainwright, ' Gentleman Jack' exploring the life of Anne Lister (1791 - 1840) and those who lived in the Hall and Estate. The historic barn is accessible to a degree, but please be aware there are uneven cobbles on the floor. It also means that there really isn’t much of anything in there to be interesting, memorable, or attention grabbing.

However, it undergoes sugar maple charcoal filtering before and after maturation in a charred oak barrel, unlike the standard Jack Daniel’s. Because it has less of the quintessential Jack Daniel’s flavor notes, those who may not care for the standard Jack might find something to like as well. Lydia Martin hails from Redmond, Washington, where you’ll find some of the best cocktail bars and distilleries that offer a great mix of local drinks. At the same time, I know a lot of people drink this, and if you enjoy it, you should just ignore me and carry-on because ultimately you decide what you like. Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack is different from JD because it undergoes the Lincoln County Process twice, before and after aging.Considering the extra charcoal mellowing step that distinguishes the brand, it seems fair that an additional cost would be associated with that. Jack Daniel’s allows its whiskey to drip for six days in 10-foot vats, passing through charcoal that was made by burning maple wood that had been impregnated with 140 proof Jack Daniel’s whiskey, before being put in new charred oak barrels and aged for an estimated 4-7 years. The problem is that it’s inoffensive and so boring to sip neat, and also far too grainy and woody without nearly enough sweetness, fruitiness, herbalness, or anything else.
