LOW YIELD. HIGH Flavour. THANK YOU, ANGELS.
Sometimes, as our barrels rest in our barrel-houses, the angels take more than their usual share. Such is the case with this small batch of barrels from January 2013, which offered an unusually low yield, presenting a unique and deep concentration of flavours with a dark colour at 107-proof. The result of this increased loss to the heavens is a unique concentration of flavours left behind in these very special barrels.
Selected by Master Distiller and Master Taster Chris Fletcher. Available only in Tennessee.
Considered an experimental whiskey, this limited release became available in October 2018 and was sold exclusively at the Jack Daniel Distillery and at select liquor stores around the state of Tennessee. This is the 1st bottle in this new line of whiskeys, with Master Tasters choosing each release.
Sold in a 375ml bottle, the whiskey found in the High Angel’s Share Barrel bottle was barrelled in January 2013 and got its name from the higher than normal evaporation that occurred during the ageing process. This of course is referred to as the “angel’s share” that goes missing.
Distillery History:
Crafting something that endures for over 150 years takes time and character. You’ll find plenty of both in the people and history that make Jack Daniel’s.
Jack Daniel’s Distillery, located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. Jasper Newton “Jack” Daniel, the founder, was born in 1846. He learned the art of distilling from a local preacher and distiller named Dan Call. In 1866, Jack Daniel registered his distillery, making it the first registered distillery in the United States.
The distillery’s success grew rapidly, and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey became renowned for its unique charcoal mellowing process, known as the Lincoln County Process. This method involves filtering the whiskey through charcoal made from sugar maple wood, giving it a distinct smoothness.
Jack Daniel passed away in 1911, and his nephew, Lem Motlow, took over the distillery. During Prohibition, the distillery faced significant challenges, including a temporary shutdown. However, it resumed production after the repeal of Prohibition.
In 1956, the distillery was sold to the Brown-Forman Corporation, which continues to produce Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey to this day. The brand has become iconic, known for its distinctive square bottles and black label, and remains a symbol of American whiskey craftsmanship.
