Jack Daniel’s Prices & Buyers’ Guide

When it comes to American whiskey, there is none more recognizable than Jack Daniel’s. From the eponymous “Jack and Coke” to their signature barbecue sauces being featured in a handful of coast-to-coast restaurant chains, Jack Daniel’s spans many aspects of the world of food and drink beyond the liquor cabinet.

While the black label is by far their best-selling bottle (in fact, it’s also the best-selling American whiskey in the world), Jack Daniel’s also offers a large variety of specialty blends, alternate formulas, flavors, and pre-packaged cocktails.

At the liquor store, Jack Daniel’s Black Label sits about in the middle of the pack when it comes to price point. A little more than some, but not more than most. A liter will cost you around $35, and a Jack and Coke or shot at the bar should be about $5-$10. The flavors and rye are usually about the same price as the black label, whereas the Gentleman Jack is closer to $40 for a liter, the Single Barrel Series bottles range from $45 to $65 for a 750ml bottle, with the Barrel Strength being the priciest, and the Frank Sinatra Select will cost you big, with prices ranging from $130 to $200 for the liter. The canned cocktails come in four-packs and range from about $12 to $18. While the country cocktails come in 6-packs of 10-ounce bottles for about $8.

Jack Daniel’s Alternatives at Comparable Prices

If American whiskey is your thing, but you need to save a few bucks when buying a bottle for the house, then Jim Beam Bourbon or Rye are great cheaper substitutes that will save you about 10 or 15 dollars per liter. If you’re looking to step up the quality a bit, then Bulleit offers both a Bourbon and a Rye for about $15 more. Once you find which base bourbon or rye you prefer, that’s when you should decide to pick up a pricier bottle of that particular distillery’s “Single Barrel” or “Small Batch.” Whether it’s from Jack Daniel’s, Jim Beam, or Knob Creek, or Four Roses, try the cheaper bottle first before committing to the more expensive stuff.

Jack Daniel’s “Black Label” or “Old No. 7” whiskey is a Tennessee whiskey, but technically it is also a bourbon, even though it is made outside of the namesake’s county in Kentucky. They use a “sour mash,” which basically means that to create the starting ingredient (the “mash”) for one batch of whiskey, they use a bit of the mash from the batch before it. It’s a process similar to that of making sourdough bread. The name doesn’t have anything to do with the flavor of the whiskey. Their proprietary mash bill is made up of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye.

Like most distilleries, the flagship whiskey of Jack Daniel’s is not exactly their finest product. They also offer a rye whiskey, Gentleman Jack, a single-barrel series, and The Sinatra Select.

The Rye whiskey is made with a 70% rye mash, which is still higher than most rye whiskies on the market. The flavor compared to the black label Tennessee whiskey is a little lighter, with a quicker finish and less aftertaste.

Gentleman Jack is still the same sour mash formula as Black Label. However, it is filtered twice through maple charcoal, instead of just once, as is normally required for all Tennessee whiskies. The filtering process removes the harshest flavors from the whiskey before it is aged. So naturally, doing it twice simply increases the smoothness and drinkability of the whiskey.

The Single Barrel Select series is available both for the Tennessee Whiskey and the Rye whiskey. The term “single barrel” implies that instead of blending the whiskey together across many barrels, every once in awhile a barrel is found to have developed the perfect flavor all on its own. Each different batch number will be a unique offering, but not too different to warrant being given a different label. They are both bottled at 94 proof (47% abv).

They also offer the Single Barrel Select Tennessee Whiskey at Barrel Strength. This means the whiskey has not been diluted with distilled water to control the alcohol level. These whiskies will vary in ABV from 125 proof to 140 proof (62.5%-70%) and will all have extremely strong flavors. The single barrel is also “bottled in bond” at 100 proof.

The Frank Sinatra Select is named for the alleged “biggest fan” of Jack Daniel’s. The singer is rumored to have been buried with a bottle of Old No. 7. For this new limited offering, the distillers have modified the barrels used for the aging process by digging deep grooves into the inside of the staves. This extra exposure to the wood imparts a richer, bolder flavor to the whiskey, with plenty of oak and char notes. Frank Sinatra Select is bottled at 45%, as was the original bottle strength back when Frank was drinking bottles of Jack.

The Frank Sinatra Select is available by the liter and the Single Barrel Select Series is only available in 750ml and 375ml bottles, while the Gentleman Jack, Black Label, and Rye come in all sizes from 50ml up to 1.75 liters. And sometimes the occasional novelty 3L bottle.

Flavors of JD products

Jack Daniel’s comes in a variety of flavors. Tennessee Fire is cinnamon flavored, there’s also Tennessee Honey, and Apple. All three of these are on the very sweet side and are notoriously sticky when spilled. They’re great for chilled shots (throw the bottle in the freezer!), or mixed with sodas and juices for quick and tasty cocktails. Try dropping a shot of any of them in a glass of your favorite hard cider in the summer, or pour a bit into some freshly brewed tea for a hot toddy in the winter. All flavors are available from 50ml up to 1.75-liter bottles.
