Korean Brown Foreman announced on the 27th the launch of its premium lineup, 'Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Rye Whiskey.' This product is the second bonded whiskey following 'Jack Daniel's Bonded,' which was released in March.
Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye is a rye whiskey characterized by its spicy aroma, derived from a high rye content. It is crafted with a grain mix of 70% rye, 18% corn, and 12% barley, using only the distillate aged for 7 to 8 years in select barrels. It starts with dried fruit aromas, leading to a lingering toffee finish, presenting a complex yet balanced flavor. In the finish, a subtle pepper aroma lingers in the mouth, leaving the characteristic sharp finish of rye whiskey.
This new product adheres to the 'Bottled in Bond' law, which ensures the quality of premium whiskey. Under this law, it stipulates that it must use distillate from a single distillery, only from the same season, aged for at least 4 years in warehouses certified by the U.S. government, and bottled at 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume).
Like other Jack Daniel's line products, it undergoes the traditional Tennessee whiskey process known as 'Charcoal Mellowing' before aging. This method involves slowly dripping the distillate through a filter made from sugar maple charcoal over 3 to 5 days, removing impurities and softening the flavor. Jack Daniel's Bonded Rye is available at Emart locations nationwide.
