Jack Daniel's Gentleman Jack 3rd Generation 1 Litre

Jack Daniel's is the best-selling American whiskey in the world. Despite that fact it can legally be categorised as a straight bourbon, it has always shunned this title, preferring to market itself as a Tennessee Whiskey. These are similar to straight bourbons but have the additional requirement of having been filtered through maple wood charcoal, a practice known as the Lincoln County Process. History has not always given the distillery an easy ride though. Tennessee was an early adopter of Prohibition in 1910, and one of the last to repeal it in 1938 (five years later than the repeal at Federal level). Even today the distillery is still located in a "dry" county, meaning none of its products are sold in its hometown or those around it. The distillery was then only operational for four years before being forced to close again during the second world war. Ten years later it was purchased by the Brown-Forman corporation and its fortunes turned for good. Its classic black-labelled Old No.7 brand (named after the distillery’s original DSP number) is now a globally recognised product.

Launched in 1988, Gentleman Jack was the first new permanent product from the Tennessee distillery for many years. The whiskey is unusual in that it goes through Jack Daniel's charcoal mellowing process twice, once before and once after barrelling, creating a softer and cleaner expression.

This is what is commonly referred to as the "third generation" packaging. The labels remained similar to that of the second release, however the bottle shape was squashed, giving a shorter, wider style. The third generation spans 1999 to 2006, when the familair flat bottle was introduced.
