Flavor Profile Differences
Rye spice is the dividing line here.
- 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.
- Stellum Bourbon: Barrell's lower-priced, cask-strength line. It drinks gentler than its proof, with vanilla and caramel on top of cinnamon, clove and a long, spicy finish.
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 Stellum Bourbon if you want a cask-strength, multi-state blend that drinks easier than its proof at a significantly lower price point and without hunting for it.
Best enjoyed neat, rocks (Jack Daniel’s 10 Year); neat, old-fashioned (Stellum Bourbon).
