Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey is a flavored whiskey that combines the classic Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey with a proprietary honey liqueur, creating a uniquely smooth and sweet spirit that maintains the character of the original.
Production Process
The base whiskey is crafted at the historic Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, following their traditional Lincoln County Process. This involves filtering the spirit through sugar maple charcoal before aging in new American oak barrels. The whiskey is then blended with a specially crafted honey liqueur to create Tennessee Honey.

The palate delivers a smooth blend of sweet honey, caramel, and Jack Daniel's signature whiskey character, with hints of cinnamon and butterscotch. The finish is pleasantly sweet with lingering warmth.
