The second, but most interesting entrant, into JD’s new Bonded line, is Jack Daniel’s Triple Mash Whiskey. And not just because it’s new, but because it reveals something interesting about Jack I didn’t know. They’ve been playing around with making American Single Malt for at least four years.

An updated look and a, somewhat, updated whiskey: Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey is no longer sourced from TDG (and/or Dickel), but distilled completely by the Uncle Nearest team… with some help from the folks at TDG (Tennessee Distiller’s Group) where they’ve been contract distilling and aging since 2017. When I visited the distillery […]

Named after Joe Baker’s great-great-great-great-great grandfather, the James Ownby Reserve Tennessee Bourbon is a sourced TN Bourbon bottled by Joe and the team at the Ole Smoky Distillery. Joe, if you didn’t know, is the co-founder of Ole Smoky. When we’re talking about sourced TN Whiskey/Bourbon, there are really only two distilleries it could come […]
