Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold Double Barreled Whiskey

Jack Daniel’s No. 27 Gold Double Barreled Whiskey — a premium Tennessee Whiskey matured first in the standard Jack Daniel’s barrel, then transferred to maple wood barrels for a second aging, producing a whiskey with a honey-gold character and additional complexity unavailable in any other expression in the lineup.

No. 27 Gold extends the Jack Daniel’s production philosophy into double-barrel territory: after initial aging in new charred American oak, the Tennessee Whiskey is moved into maple wood barrels for an additional maturation period. Maple barrels contribute warm, sweet wood sugars and a softer, more honeyed character than the charred oak used in standard aging. The result is a whiskey noticeably richer and more complex than Old No. 7 — with a deeper gold color and a flavor profile that bridges the standard lineup and the premium single barrel program.
