The Jack Daniel Distillery has launched Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry, the newest addition to its line-up of flavoured whiskeys.

The product combines the bold, familiar flavour of Jack Daniel’s with ‘sweet and tangy’ blackberry notes.

Offered at 35% ABV, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry is made with the distillery’s Old No 7 Tennessee Whiskey, distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee, US from the classic mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley and 8% rye. The whiskey is mellowed through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal and matured in new, charred American oak barrels. It is then infused with a fresh blackberry flavour before bottling.

Chris Fletcher, master distiller at the Jack Daniel Distillery, said: “The smooth, well-rounded finish of our Tennessee Whiskey makes it one of the most versatile expressions to pair with unexpected flavour”.

“By adding the ripe notes of blackberries, we’ve created an approachable spirit that’s full of character, easy to enjoy with friends and perfect for any season.”

The new expression joins Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, Tennessee Fire and Tennessee Apple within the brand’s flavours line-up. It can be served neat, over ice or mixed into a cocktail.

Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Blackberry hits US shelves this month in 750ml bottles, for a suggested retail price of $21.99.
