Jack Daniel's is probably one of the most famous whiskey brands worldwide. If you are someone who enjoys crisp, smokey and well-distilled whiskies, then we are sure you are well-versed with the brand's offerings but if not, then you are truly missing out! This Tennessee whiskey has remained iconic for more than 150 years and is a great option for mixing into a classic Jack and Cola or other highballs; or simply sipping on the rocks.
What's exciting is that they have a variety of different whiskies available to please everyone's spirit likings. Starting with the OG, Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 which is a hit among all and what we would call a 'crowd pleaser' for how perfectly balanced the flavour notes are. Mellowed drop by drop through ten-feet of sugar maple charcoal, then matured in handcrafted barrels, the taste is the perfect balance of sweet and oaky flavours. In 2024, a 750 ml bottle of this should cost you around INR 2,920 in Kolkata.
Fancy something even smoother? Get your hands on the Gentleman Jack (40% alcohol by volume). Gentleman Jack undergoes a second charcoal mellowing to achieve exceptional smoothness with hints of oak balanced by caramel and vanilla. Perfect for sipping on occasions, a 750 ml bottle should cost around INR 3,770 approximately.
Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire (35% alcohol by volume) blends warm cinnamon liqueur with the bold character of Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 for a classic spirit featuring a surprisingly smooth finish. Get this one if you are a fan of the Jack Daniel’s Old No 7's smooth start and like the kick from cinnamon. A bottle of this one too should can cost you INR 2,920 approximately in 2024.
The Tennessee Honey (35% alcohol by volume) variant has a taste that’s one-of-a-kind and unmistakably Jack. Made with a blend of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and a unique honey liqueur. With hints of honey and a finish that’s naturally smooth, this one's a sweet but delectable whiskey. This one too should be priced around INR 2,920.
Want a whiskey that's crisp yet sweet? Befriend the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Apple (35% alcohol by volume) that's blended with apple liqueur for approximately INR 2,920 as well and enjoy this sweet but punchy whiskey on the rocks.
And next, we have a whiskey that won't take time to become your all-time favourite! The Jack Daniel's Single Barrel layers subtle notes of caramel and spice with bright fruit notes and sweet aromatics for a one-of-a-kind flavour. This one is more of an indulgence and might cost you around INR 7,400 for a 750 ml bottle in Kolkata, depending upon the place you are buying it from.
The 750 ml and 1 litre sizing is common to all bottles but you will spot a few different sizes like the 60 ml miniature or 375 ml in the classic Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 variant. Do make a note that the pricing differs from place to place, store to store so nothing's set in stone here.
Beloved by bar-tenders and whiskey connoisseurs, Jack Daniel's whiskies are great for when it’s time to mix things up a bit and turn your favorite whiskey into a smashing cocktail. So, we would suggest you try out your hand at making fun ones such as Gentleman Whiskey Sour, Lynchburg Lemonade, Caramel Julep or The Ginger Jack for a gala time. Our personal favourite is the classic Jack Old Fashioned or Jack Honey Smash, or if you’re in the mood for something fiery — there’s always Tennessee Fire and other sweet offerings to save you from turning mixologist. Unlike many other whiskies, Jack Daniel's even goes incredibly well if you like it straight on the rocks. The taste hasn't changed for the classic one for 158 years and the only change now is in its price.
