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.
Glenglassaugh Torfa
At Glenglassaugh, we also produce a very limited quantity of whisky using richly peated malted barley as the cereal varietal. Glenglassaugh ‘Torfa’, with its peaty, phenolic nature, is a unique expression, and is quite different to the usual style of whisky produced in the Highlands.
- Colour : Gleaming yellow gold
- Nose : Vivid, sweet, sooty campfire smoke and sea-air infuses zest of lime, apricot jam and ripe soft fruits; all gently warmed by hints of stem ginger and cracked black pepper.
- Palate : An eloquent, sweet coastal pear smoke engulfs candied peel over melon, pineapple and roasted red apples. Oat biscuits, hints of heather honey and a gentle cigar box spice combines to give a terrific balance to the expressive smoke character.
