Jack Daniel's Master Distiller Series No. 5 Frank Bobo Tennessee Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich caramel and warm vanilla lead, followed by toasted oak, baked apple, and faint citrus zest.

Palate: Smooth and rounded with honeyed toffee, baking spices (cinnamon and clove), a touch of dark chocolate, and gentle cedar. A subtle earthy/coal-tinted note from the charcoal mellowing adds complexity.

Finish: Medium to long — lingering oak tannin, soft spice, and a final whisper of tobacco and toasted pecan.

Distillery Information

Founded by Jasper “Jack” Newton Daniel in the hills of Lynchburg, Tennessee, Jack Daniel’s is one of America’s most storied whiskey houses—celebrated for generations of craft, consistent quality, and unmistakable character. The distillery combines traditional methods with rigorous barrel selection to produce whiskeys that are approachable, richly flavored, and unmistakably Tennessee. Central to Jack Daniel’s signature style is the Lincoln County Process: newly distilled spirit slowly filtered through charcoal prior to barrel maturation, which softens the spirit and creates the smooth, mellow profile the brand is known for. The distillery uses time-tested mash and fermentation practices, small-batch blending and aging in new, charred American oak barrels to develop layered notes of caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, and warm spice. Beyond its flagship expressions, Jack Daniel’s continues to explore craftsmanship through limited and collector-focused releases—the Master Distiller Series, Single Barrel offerings, and special finishes—that showcase barrel selection, finishing techniques, and the distinct palettes of its cellar masters. Visitors to Lynchburg can experience the distillery’s heritage firsthand via tours and tastings, while collectors and enthusiasts follow the brand for both everyday sipping and rare releases. Jack Daniel’s remains committed to provenance, consistency, and a spirit of celebration—rooted in history but always attentive to the art of whiskey making.
