🥃 Jack Daniel's Bonded
Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey made to the Old No. 7 recipe, distilled in one season and aged at least 4 years; 50% ABV (100 proof).
Jack Daniel's Bonded is a Tennessee whiskey from the Lynchburg brand, made to the Old No. 7 recipe and bottled under the US Bottled-in-Bond rules. According to the producer, it is distilled within one season, aged at least four years in federally supervised warehouses and bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof).
The US rule (27 CFR § 5.88) allows the label “bottled in bond” only for spirits from one producer at one distillery, distilled in one season, aged at least four years in a supervised warehouse and bottled at 100 proof. The brand itself notes that it made whiskey even before the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. The producer describes roasted corn and caramel with hints of vanilla and toffee on the nose, toasted marshmallow and maple on the palate, and oak, sweetness and herbal tones on the finish.
Why it matters to you. The word “Bonded” on the label guarantees an age of at least four years and a single distillery, and a strength of 50% ABV, a quarter higher than Old No. 7. Strength and packaging, the producer cautions, may vary by country. The WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
