Here in North Texas, we received the old Jacks at the end of April (2025). The 10 & 12 year expressions of the last couple of years are now joined by the 14 year – the oldest age stated Jack Daniels since before prohibition! While I don’t have a 10 or 14 on hand, I had tasted them both beside this 12 year the night before I shot this video – so the memory of them all was still very fresh.

The Jack Daniels 12 Year Batch 3 was bottled at 107 proof and retailed around $90.
Here’s a breakdown of the reported bottles released:
Jack Daniel's 14-Year-Old: 24,000 bottles.
Jack Daniel's 12-Year-Old: 18,000 bottles.
Jack Daniel's 10-Year-Old: The largest release of the three, with a batch size not specified, but with some bottles being sent overseas for the first time!

The Jack Daniels Single Barrel - Barrel Proof Rye was bottled at 135 proof and was purchased at the giftshop a couple months prior. It retailed around $65 there and is reported to be aged between 6-8 years old.

As of May 2025, my current bottle count is over 3,000. I am a Certified Specialist of Spirits and have also been accredited by the Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT). I've been actively collecting for 31 years and what started as a small basic home bar has transformed (with the help and understanding of my wonderful wife) into this collection and career. Speaking of my career, I’m super proud to announce that my “Saints Alley “Nobleman” Rye Whiskey was named “Best American Rye” at the 2024 World Whisky Awards! But don’t forget that our other Bourbons have also won multiple big awards and are on Total Wine shelves now! Our Flagship Port & Cognac received a Double Platinum at Fred Minnick's 2024 Ascot Awards, and "The Herald” - our Armagnac finished Bourbon - took Double Gold at the Whiskies of the World competition! Stay tuned for my 10 Year Saints Alley Herald Cigar Blend coming fall of 2025! Given my decades of consumer/reviewer experience, you know I’m working hard to continue bringing you great whiskeys that I'm proud of as a collector, reviewer & blender! Thank you for watching & please remember to drink responsibly. Cheers!
