🥃 Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey
A Jack Daniel's drink: Tennessee whiskey with a honey liqueur of the brand's own making; 35% ABV (70 proof), launched in 2011.
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey is a drink from the Lynchburg brand in which Old No. 7 Tennessee whiskey is blended with a honey liqueur of the brand's own making. Its strength, 35% ABV (70 proof), is lower than the brand's whiskey. Per the producer's press room, it was introduced in 2011 as the first flavoured Jack Daniel's.
The producer describes vanilla and honey on the nose, honey and caramel on the palate, and a smooth finish. It recommends drinking it chilled or mixing it with lemonade, tea or ginger ale. All four flavoured versions of the brand — Honey, Fire, Apple and Blackberry — combine whiskey with liqueur and are 35% ABV.
Why it matters to you. Tennessee Honey is not straight whiskey but a blend of whiskey and liqueur, so it is sweeter and weaker than Old No. 7. Strength and packaging may vary by country — check the label. The WHO reminds us: there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
