Jack Daniels before and after charcoal mellowing Set -2019 Release 2 x 375ml Bottles No Box

An intriguing collectible set of two half-bottles from Jack Daniel's, both featuring spirit that would eventually become their Tennessee whiskey (y'know, if it didn't end up in these bottles). One bottle is filled with spirit that has not been charcoal mellowed (which is what differentiates Tennessee whiskey from other styles of American whiskey), while the other bottle is filled with spirit that has been charcoal mellowed.

A collectable must have, two Jack Daniel's Unmatured Mellowing bottles named Before and After.

Before: This unmatured whiskey has not been mellowed. Except for maturing, it meets all the standards of a bourbon. To become Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey, it must undergo the extra step of being mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of hard sugar maple charcoal and then be matured to taste.

After: Although this whiskey is unmatured it has been mellowed drop by drop through 10 feet of hard sugar maple charcoal. This is the extra step that makes Jack Daniel's a Tennessee whisky and not a bourbon. Mellowing is a very costly and time-consuming process that makes Jack Daniel's different than any other whiskey in the world.
