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.

To give Sinatra Select its distinct f lavor, deep grooves are carved into handcrafted, charred oak barrels.

Before bottling, each drop is delicately balanced for a smooth, refined character.
