Jack Daniel’s 12-Year-Old Tennessee Whiskey Batch #3 is a distinguished release in the brand’s Aged Series, offering a refined expression of the distillery’s heritage. This limited-edition whiskey is bottled at 107 proof (53.5% ABV)
This whiskey is crafted using Jack Daniel’s classic mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye. It undergoes charcoal mellowing and is aged in new, toasted, and charred American white oak barrels. The barrels are initially placed on the upper floors of the barrelhouse before being relocated to the lower ricks to extend the maturation process.
Tasting Notes:

- Palate: The flavor profile is dry and tannic, featuring dry charred oak, leather, cinnamon powder, and crushed peppercorns.
- Finish: The finish is dry and lingering, with notes of rye spice, leather, dry barrel char, and cinnamon stick.
