Jack Daniel's No. 27 Gold Maple Wood Finish
Jack Daniel's No. 27 Gold Maple Wood Finish takes the Old No. 7 recipe and gives it the gold treatment — double charcoal-mellowed through sugar maple charcoal, then extra-matured in golden-hued maple wood barrels after its initial time in virgin white oak. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in 750mL, it started as a travel-retail exclusive and now releases in select markets worldwide with its distinctive gold label. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Double Barrelled, Double Mellowed
Most Jack Daniel's passes through the maple charcoal once; No. 27 Gold does the whole mellowing ritual twice, then the whiskey rests again — this time in golden maple barrels rather than the standard American oak. The result is the familiar Old No. 7 character pushed toward honey and toasted maple, in a bottle that signals its ambition on the shelf.

Tasting Notes
Scent of toasted oak and honey; a rich, warm palate of maple and fruit — oak, honey, and dried fruit carried on the distillery's famously smooth finish; Whisky Advocate's 87-point review noted peanut-butter sandwich, strawberry jam, and apple blossom notes.
How to Enjoy
Neat or on a single large cube to let the maple finish speak. Its sweetness also makes it a natural for a Tennessee Old Fashioned with a demerara rinse.
