What's the difference between Jack Daniel's Black Label, Gentleman Jack and Single Barrel?
Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Similarities
Before discussing the differences, it’s interesting to know the similarities among the Jack Daniel family of whiskeys. All varieties are made from the same combination of corn, rye, barley and water, are fermented in copper stills, and are distilled through 10 or more feet of specially made sugar maple charcoal. (Charcoal mellowing is what distinguishes Jack Daniel’s as a whiskey and not a bourbon).They are all stored in specially made American White Oak barrels which are charred on the inside. The whiskey moves in and out the pores of the barrel, giving it its varying shades of golden hues; there is no coloring added; color comes only from the wood.
What makes the difference in flavors, smoothness and price among the three whiskeys is a matter of degrees— temperature that is: the higher in elevation the whiskey is stored, the better the quality as a result of its exposure to heat.
