The Rested Rye release continues the Jack Daniels expedition into the captivating flavour drawn from the first Unaged Rye offering.
This time around the spice character from the Unaged Rye grain remains but the rye whiskey has rested in the barrelhouse meaning the barrels have begun to assert their toasted oak and vanilla notes into the rye whiskey. Though not quite mature, this Rested Rye whiskey offers a hint of the full potential of the Tennessee Rye. It has been produced from a mash bill of 70% rye, 18% corn and 12% malted barley and was aged for two years in new barrels with a combination of toasting levels. This mash bill is the first new mash bill used at the Jack Daniel Distillery in over a century.
NOSE: Caramel and vanilla bean followed by spicy oak and a touch of fruitiness
PALATE: Round and soft with rye spice complemented by black pepper and modest citrus
FINISH: Medium and dry with more black pepper accompanied by honey and clove.
