Scott and I recently discussed the latest batches of Jack Daniel’s 10 & 12 year on Episode 273 of the podcast. If you haven’t had the time to listen to our 30 minute episode, I wanted to share my personal thoughts on these two new Tennessee Whiskeys. Let’s dive in, shall we!
Just the Facts: Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Batch 03

Just the Facts: Jack Daniel’s 12 Year Batch 02
- Proof: 107
- Age: 12
- Mashbill: 80% corn, 12% malted barley, 8% rye
- Style: Tennessee Whiskey
- Price: $95.00
Tasting Notes: Jack Daniel’s 10 Year Batch 03
Nose: Cinnamon raisin crumb cake, lights hint of barrel warehouse, with a touch of berries.
Palate: Raisin, dried fruits, crumb cake, and a very nice old oak flavor.

Closing Thoughts:
I believe Jack Daniel’s 10 & 12 year 2024 releases are slightly better than last year’s. I think Jack Daniel’s is putting out some of the better whiskeys I have had in recent years. The hard part is finding the right price for both of these bottles. Prices online are climbing to $200 or more per bottle. Finding these bottles at or below $150 is a great value for either of these pours.
