Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye
Jack Daniel’s Rye is the brand’s first new mashbill since prohibition. Considering all the drinkers who are rediscovering rye, the challenge of creating a Jack Daniel’s version of this special whiskey was too exciting to pass up. We’ve brought forward the spice of rye, while leaving room for the complexity and depth of the corn and malted barley.
Because it’s charcoal-mellowed and aged in new, white oak barrels, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye has the Jack character and smooth finish that does not over-power. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye has a unique grain bill of 70% rye, 18% corn, 12% malted barley, the result is a bold, spicy rye whiskey that’s sippin’ smooth.
Nose : An enticing blend full of sweet, soft fruit layered with an underlying rye spice and oak.
Taste : At 90 proof, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye Whiskey packs rich flavors from start to finish. This well-rounded rye whiskey brings out caramel and dry baking spice.
Finish : Peppery rye character on the back end.
Fords Gin
There are countless brands that offer creative twists on the traditional gin formula: Hendricks, with cucumber and rose; Aviation, with lavender and sarsaparilla; The Botanist, with mint and chamomile. While all of these newer brands provide exciting variations on the typical gin flavor profile, their ability to deliver effectively in a wide range of cocktails is limited. Fords is the melding of both worlds, in that our high juniper content firmly establishes our credentials as a classic London dry, but has a unique blend of florals, spices, and citrus underneath it to give it a more current twist.
- Aroma: Juniper, coriander & angelica up front with developing layers of citrus, jasmine & hints of vanilla in the background. Bright & expressive on the nose.
- Flavor: Fresh, round citrus profiles on the opening with a light sweetness and blossoming bouquet of orris, cassia & grapefruit.
- Texture: Medium body, viscous & silky on the palate. Long, lingering mouthfeel.
- Intangibles: Impeccably balanced without anyone botanical dominating. Finishes dry with full-figured notes of grapefruit peel & long-lasting juniper impression.

Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select
When Frank was first introduced to Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship that would come to define good taste. For more than 50 years they characterized gentleman’s class, and the very essence of the good life. The Jack Daniel Distillery salutes their timeless bond with a special edition whiskey as distinct as Frank and Jack.
To give Sinatra Select its distinct f lavor, deep grooves are carved into handcrafted, charred oak barrels. This proprietary process doubles the barrel’s surface, exposing the whiskey to unprecedented levels of toasted oak during the maturation process. Before bottling, each drop is delicately balanced for a smooth, refined character.
Nose : Soft honey, fresh apples and a bold oak note at the centre.
Taste : Yummy butterscotch notes which turn into yummier caramel notes, rich and warm. Hints of orange zest and a subtle smokiness.
Finish : Packed with vanilla and smooth as Sinatra's voice.
Dictador 2 Masters Despagne 1980
A 37 year-old Dictador Rum from a 1980 single vintage cask finished in sherry casks then shipped to Despagne, Entre-deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France. The rum spent 6 months in this barrel, originally filled up with Château Mont Pérat Bordeaux red wine, one of the Despagne flagships from the family. Matured in: Francis cooper, Selmer barrel, light heat, made from a mix of oak wood from North East French forests, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
Nose : The dark ripe fruit from Château Mont Pérat Bordeaux red wine comes through as an overlay of brambleberries, dried cherries and huckleberry sauce over soft sherry- infused maple syrup and Madagascar vanilla beans. Truly complex, indeed.
Palate : An overwhelming marriage of dark fruits and sweet rum, giving it layer upon layer of rich textured mouthfeel with tons of dried fruits and wine influences. The finish is magnificent and has touches of a French summer countryside fruit basket with rich sherry-infused oak character.
Colour : Deep and nearly inky-bronze coloured rum with ultra-high viscosity and flashes of golden bronze at the edges
Matured in Selmer barrel, light heat
Time of Finishing: 6 months
Dictador 2 Masters Chateau d’Arche 1980

It is a typical size for Bordeaux wines. This barrel has been filled up with Château d’Arche for the vintage 2014.
Nose : A plethora of sweetness with vanilla crème brulée, dark caramel-coated chocolate and plenty of dried fruits including figs, dates and quince, then hints of toasted bread and orange rind.
Palate : Quite an interesting marriage with marzipan, dried apricots and cloudberry marmalade over maple syrup, milk chocolate and crème brulée. Once the initial burn dissipates, true rum character comes through overtaking the “foreign” flavours and it finishes nicely with a relatively balanced supple golden fruit cake with hints of toast. Fine and supple.
Color : A firm dark bronze going out into a lighter golden hue at the rim, showing high viscosity with fine long legs in the glass.
