Jack Daniel's 10 y.o. Batch 4

Introduced in 2021, this is the fourth batch of Jack Daniel’s 10 Year in this annual limited release. Jack Daniel’s aged series are older, higher proof versions of standard Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7. It’s released alongside a 12 year old version, and new in 2025, a 14 year old version. So far, the company has proofed their aged whiskey according to the age statement, with 10 year being the lowest proof whiskey in the collection and 14 year being the highest.

While Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Batch 3 was more oak-forward, this year's batch delivers a nice balance of sweet and dry oak flavors. The nose delivers an aroma that is full of pleasing sweet scents that mingle really nicely together. The midpoint is punctuated by a creamy caramel sweetness that helps its buttery mouthfeel. As you dissect the flavors, more spiced and dry notes appear, which are punctuated in the finish. In Jack Daniel’s Aged Series in 2025, Batch 4 of Jack Daniel’s 10 Year delivers a balanced, flavorful sip.

Compared to this year’s 12 year and 14 year versions, it delivers a slightly less in-your-face sip, but this can be chalked up to being the youngest and lowest proof of the three. Providing a balanced overall sip, fans of Jack Daniel’s will be pleased to see that even though the brand continues to release higher proof and higher aged whiskeys, the aged Jack Daniel’s that kicked off the trend 4 years ago continues to deliver.

There's no gimmick with this one; it's just good classic Jack, with the same mash bill as before – that's 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye – matured for a decade for the first time since prohibition.
