Jack Daniel’s 2026 Special Release Tennessee Rye Whiskey

Jack Daniel’s 2026 Special Release Tennessee Rye Whiskey 69.7%-ABV, 375ml bottles.

About Jack Daniels:

Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling American whiskey, famous for its charcoal mellowing (Lincoln County Process) and maturation at America's oldest registered distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, established by Jasper "Jack" Daniel in 1866, known for its iconic square bottles and smooth, distinct flavor. It's made from a mash of corn, malted barley, and rye, filtered through sugar maple charcoal, and uses limestone-filtered spring water for a signature taste.

Key Aspects:

• Founder & History:

  Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel learned distilling young, opened his distillery in 1866, and it became the first registered in the U.S.. The brand is now owned by Brown-Forman.

• The "Old No. 7":

  The meaning of "Old No. 7" is debated (seventh recipe, registration number, etc.), but it's central to the brand.

• The Process:

  • Grain Bill: 80% Corn, 12% Malted Barley, 8% Rye.
  • Water Source: Iron-free spring water from Cave Spring Hollow.
  • Charcoal Mellowing: New whiskey is filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal for smoothness (the Lincoln County Process).
  • Maturation: Aged in charred oak barrels.

• Iconic Bottle:

  The square bottle, chosen for fairness and integrity ("a square bottle for a square shooter"), was introduced in the 1890s.

Cultural Impact:

A global brand, it's a cultural icon, with the Lynchburg distillery attracting visitors worldwide.

Fun Facts:

• Jack Daniel died from complications from a broken toe he kicked his safe with in 1911.
• The distillery is located in a dry county, but tastings are allowed during tours.
• Jack Daniel's once won a gold medal for "World's Best Whiskey" at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.

1864-1910

Our Founding

Jasper Newton Daniel, more commonly known as Jack, introduces the world to Old No. 7, his signature charcoal-mellowed Tennessee Whiskey.

Jack leaves home and is taken in by Reverend Dan Call. At the Call family farm, he learns the art of whiskey making from the preacher and an enslaved man named Nathan “Nearest” Green. Jack would later hire Nearest as the Jack Daniel Distillery’s head distiller, what we call the Master Distiller today.

The Jack Daniel Distillery is officially established, making it the very first registered distillery within the US, with Jack as the Master Distiller. The opening of his now-famous distillery would follow shortly thereafter, right next to Jack Daniel’s prime resource: the mineral-rich Cave Spring Hollow.

We’ve been bottling Tennessee spring water since 1866. With some notable modifications, of course.

George Dickel Chill Filtered Rye Whiskey

George Dickel Chill Filtered Charcoal Mellowed Rye Whiskey Distilled by Cascade Hollow Distilling 45%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About George Dickel:

George Dickel is a popular brand of Tennessee Whiskey, named after German immigrant George Augustus Dickel (1818-1894), a prominent Nashville liquor distributor who started selling whiskey in the 1860s and whose name became synonymous with the Cascade Hollow distillery's product, known for its unique "Lincoln County" charcoal mellowing process using sugar maple, cool fermentation, and aged in one-story warehouses. Owned by Diageo, the brand uses a "whisky" spelling (without the 'e') and offers various expressions, continuing a tradition of handmade quality despite historical challenges like Prohibition.

The Man: George A. Dickel

• Origin: Born in Germany, immigrated to the U.S., settled in Nashville, and built a successful liquor wholesaling business.
• Role: While not the original distiller, his company distributed the whiskey, and his name was put on the labels after his death, a tradition continued by his partners and later owners.

The Distillery & Whiskey

• Location: Cascade Hollow, near Tullahoma, Tennessee, using spring water from the area.
• Process: Cools distillate to 40°F before filtering through sugar maple charcoal, a unique variation of the Lincoln County Process.
• Style: Uses a traditional mash bill (84% corn, 8% rye, 8% malted barley) for expressions like the Signature Recipe (formerly No. 12).
• Spelling: Adopts the Scottish "whisky" spelling, reflecting a desire to rival fine Scotch whiskies.

History & Ownership

• Early Days: The whiskey was originally sold as "Cascade".
• Prohibition: Production halted due to Prohibition in Tennessee (which started early in 1910).
• Revival: Rebuilt in the 1950s and officially bottled under the George Dickel name in the 1960s.
• Modern Era: Acquired by Diageo and continues to be a major player in the Tennessee whiskey market.

It takes an extraordinary place to produce an extraordinary whisky. Distilled for generations in the hills of Cascade Hollow, a sip of our whisky is years in the making. To find us is to pay homage to our legacy and experience our passion, our pride and our way of whisky. Cheers to those who know.

Our whisky is made with the freshest water from the cascade spring and the trusted craftsmenship of the people who call our distillery home.

Born 40 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George A. Dickel was an established Nashville merchant when he entered the whisky business. Dickel grew his reputation for selling the smoothest, most mellow spirits in the region. Thus, Geo. A. Dickel & Co. was born and when the Cascade Hollow Distillery opened in 1878 in neighboring Coffee County, George Dickel bought a large share.

Born from a belief that whisky made in the winter months produced a mellower sip, our liquids were always chilled to 40 degrees before charcoal filtering for a smooth yet complex taste.

Since the very beginning, our unique spelling of ‘whisky’ without the ‘e’ speaks to the passion from which our brand was born. A drive to rethink American whiskey and elevate the experience to rival the world’s finest scotch whiskies. To this day, we continue the tradition of bringing new perspectives to our liquid legacy.

J. Mattingly 1845 One Hell Of A Pick Single Barrel Rye Whiskey

J. Mattingly 1845 One Hell Of A Pick Single Barrel Rye Whiskey 60%-ABV, 375ml Bottles.

About J Mattingly 1845:

In the cellar is the heart of our distillery. There you’ll find the blending experience room. Here you’ll be guided through the process of “thieving” or extracting bourbon directly from the barrel. You’ll have chance to sample a selection of different taste profiles and once you find your signature taste, we’ll complete the bottle to your exact recipe, then create a custom label which you name and wax seal in your choice of colors. It’s the kind of experience to be shared with friends and family and one you’ll want to do again and again.

“ONE HELL OF A PICK”

Words we live by

Through our custom blending experience, we believe when all is said and done, the decisions you’ve made, the blend you’ve created represent as Jeff Mattingly likes to say, “One hell of a pick.” And to hear our friends who’ve created their own blend...when they have the final decision of the flavor profile...it truly represents their own “One hell of a pick!”

Who we are.

For almost two centuries, the name Mattingly has been synonymous with world-class bourbon and innovation. John Graves Mattingly (1823-1910) was responsible for perfecting the now famous column still used by the greatest bourbon producers in the world to provide a more continuous process to satisfy the growing demand of his customers. Now, Jeff Mattingly, a sixth generation descendent of John Graves Mattingly, has created and perfected the first of its kind custom bourbon blending process at his new distillery in Frankfort, KY that allows guests to not only blend their personal bottle from multiple "Double Staved" proprietary barrels selected by the Mattingly team of master blenders, but also choose their bottle, label, closure (including various wax colors or a wood cork) and their own personal name for their creation.

If you can't visit us in Frankfort, the J. Mattingly family is offering you the opportunity to customize your own personal bottle of world class, double staved Bourbon or Rye whiskey for yourself or to give as a gift.

Craft My Bourbon

Meet the mattingly's

We are so very proud of the team we’ve built at J. Mattingly. We hope you enjoy spending time with our beloved family and team as much as we do.

Seagram's V.O.

Canadian Whisky

There is a mystery surrounding the origins and naming of Seagram's V.O., one of the most well-known whiskies produced at Joseph E. Seagram's former Waterloo Distillery. Family tradition states that "V.O." stands for "Very Own," as this was a whisky blend created for Joseph E. Seagram's own family. Others claim that the initials stand for "Very Old" in keeping with the distillers assertion that is was a blend of very old Canadian Whiskies.

The story tells how Joseph's son, Thomas, had the distillery's blender, William Hortop, prepare a whisky blend for his personal use to celebrate his upcoming marriage in 1913 to Dorothy Pearson. Upon tasting the special blend, Joseph insisted that the family blend be put on the market. It went on to become one of Seagram's biggest sellers.

1620 Distilling Red Dirt Road Small Batch Bourbon

1620 Distilling Red Dirt Road Small Batch Bourbon Whiskey 40%-ABV, 750ml bottles.

About 1620 Distilling:

1620 Distilling is a small-batch bourbon distillery in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, founded by a family that honors the legacy of their ancestor, George Thorpe, who came to America in 1620. Thorpe learned to distill corn from Native Americans and became known as the "Grandfather of Corn Whiskey". The company initially sourced its products but plans to begin distilling its own whiskey on-site soon.

• Company story: The distillery is named after the year 1620, when George Thorpe arrived in America and began experimenting with distilling corn whiskey. The brand is a family-owned and operated business that aims to continue this 400-year legacy.
• Products: Their initial offerings include a Small Batch Bourbon and a Full Proof Bourbon. They also produce vodka from corn and have developed a bourbon-based sauce.
• Mash bill: The Small Batch Bourbon is made with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley.
• Awards: The Small Batch Bourbon won a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
• Location and tasting room: The distillery is located in Prestonsburg, Kentucky, and features a tasting room where visitors can sample their spirits.
  
  

In 1620, George Thorpe, our 7th great-grandfather, arrived in America with the intention of establishing a college. However, his legacy would grow far beyond education. Upon meeting the Native Americans of the region, George was introduced to their most vital crop—corn. In the fall of that year, he made a groundbreaking decision: substituting corn for barley to distill America’s first corn whiskey. This innovation earned George the title of the “Grandfather of Corn Whiskey,” not just in our family, but in American history.

In a letter home, George affectionately described his creation as a “soe good drinke of Indian corn,” even declaring it superior to “good stronger English beer.”

Today, we proudly carry on George’s legacy, honoring four centuries of tradition by crafting our own version of that “soe good drink,” a bourbon that blends history, craftsmanship, and bold flavor.
