Jack Daniel's 10 and 12 Year Old Whiskeys Return for Another Round

Jack Daniel’s has announced the release of Batch 2 of its 12 year old and Batch 3 of its 10 year old Tennessee whiskeys. This year’s 10 year old is at 48.5% ABV, while the 12 year old comes in higher at 53.5%. As before, both share a mashbill identical to the core Jack Daniel’s recipe, which is 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye.

Pricing for the 10 and the 12 has risen by $15 each since last year, with the 10 year old now at $85 compared to $70 previously, and the 12 year old now at $95 compared to $80 in 2023. They’re both in 700 ml bottles and available in limited quantities across the U.S.

The 10 year old debuted in August of 2021, heralded as the first Jack Daniel’s whiskey to bear an age statement in more than a century. That release was made from just over 200 barrels, making it quite limited in availability. Not surprisingly it sold out quickly, vanishing from the shelves in a matter of days. It went on to finish at No. 4 on Whisky Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies list that year. Batch 2 of the 10 year old was released last March, along with the first batch of the 12 year old. Some 42,000 bottles of the 10 year old were made available for Batch 2, last year, while the 12 year old totaled 36,000 bottles.

Jack Daniel’s has been on a creative streak in recent years and has been widely recognized as capturing newfound appeal among knowledgeable whiskey fans, and these aged expressions have been a big part of that. Other recent examples have included its Bonded Series, whose Jack Daniel’s Bonded won our Whisky of the Year award in 2022.
