Flavor Profile Differences
Fruit character is what sets these apart.
- Jack Daniel’s 10 Year: The return of an age-stated Jack Daniel's after more than a century. Ten years add dark fruit, cocoa and real oak to the familiar banana-and-caramel Lynchburg profile.
- Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select: Barrels pulled from the top of the rickhouse, where the temperature swings are hardest, and it shows as considerably more oak than any standard Jack. A genuinely different proposition from the black label.
Which One Should You Choose?
- Go with Jack Daniel’s 10 Year if you want an older, oak-forward Jack Daniel's with dark fruit and cocoa.
- Go with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select if you want a distinctly oakier, more concentrated Tennessee whiskey with barrel-to-barrel character at a significantly lower price point.
