Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey

Jack Daniel's 10 Year Old Tennessee Whiskey — an age-stated release presenting Tennessee Whiskey at 10 years of barrel maturation and bottled at 97 proof, delivering a significantly more oak-integrated and complex expression than the standard NAS lineup.

Jack Daniel's rarely puts an age statement on a bottle — the NAS approach has defined Old No. 7 and most of the core lineup for decades. The 10 Year Old, released as part of the distillery's Aged Series, is one of the exceptions: a decade in new charred American oak through Tennessee's seasons, with the Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing applied before barrel entry. Ten years of that environment produces a whiskey with deeper caramel integration, more pronounced dried fruit, and an oak complexity that the younger core expressions don't achieve.

For collectors and enthusiasts who want to explore what Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey becomes with time, the 10 Year Old is the definitive answer at the premium tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does the 10 Year compare to Old No. 7? Old No. 7 is typically 4–7 years old and bottled at 80 proof. The 10 Year has significantly more barrel time and is bottled at 97 proof — more oak integration, dried fruit complexity, and depth while retaining the Lincoln County character.
• Is the 10 Year limited? Yes — it is released in limited annual batches as part of the Jack Daniel's Aged Series, each batch bottled at 97 proof.
• How does it compare to the 12 Year Old? The 10 Year is the entry into the age-stated Aged Series; the 12 Year adds two more years and a higher proof for additional oak depth and complexity.
