Living the Gourmet is pleased to present Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey, a handcrafted, 94-proof Tennessee Whiskey.

Registered in 1866 by Jack Daniel, the Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee is the oldest registered distillery in the United States, and over the course of more than one-hundred and forty years, Jack Daniel's has grown to become the highest selling American whiskey in the world.

While Jack Daniel's has built its success on handcrafted quality and a robust, full-bodied flavor, Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey is held to only the strictest of standards. In fact, just one in every one hundred barrels produced at the Jack Daniel's Distillery is handpicked to mature in the highest areas of the barrel houses. In these select areas, the barrels receive greater exposure to the dramatic temperature changes of the Tennessee seasons, deepening the flavor and color of the whiskey they contain.

Since whiskey derives much of its flavor from the barrel in which it is aged, exposing the barrels of Single Barrel Whiskey to the elements results in enhancing the whiskey's already smooth texture, while intensifying its toasted oak flavor ripe with rich vanilla and caramel essences.

Each bottle of Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey is hand labeled with its rick, barrel number, and bottling date, marking the distinct taste profile of each barrel.

Living the Gourmet can sincerely recommend Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey, and is pleased to have been tapped for this feature.

    Hi Catherine,

    With Spring and Summer approaching at your side of the world, these whiskey chicken thighs seems to be the best finger food to eat for all occasions 😀 I think they are great to BBQ too.

    No worries at all for the LTU event. Glad that you are interested. If you are cooking or baking anything with milk within this month, please link your published post with us. Otehrwise, there will be many LTU events to participate in the coming months. We are baking with butter in June 😀

    What a great recipe, Catherine! It looks delicious and Jack Daniels always makes food taste better. I grew up in Bourbon country and JD whiskey wasn't far away. Thanks for the recipe and have a good week!

    Hi Catherine,
    A delicious recipe I am sure...I love your photos and I also like the way you presented the Jack Daniels with the chicken. Very appetizing! I love BBQ chicken, who doesn't! The flavor of the BBQ sauce must be amazing..Plus you don't need the real BBQ. I love the idea of cooking this scrumptious dish in the oven! Thanks for sharing...
    Blessings on a great day...Dottie 🙂

    Good Afternoon Catherine, My husband enjoys a glass of Jack Daniels, so I feel sure he will enjoy a barbecue sauce made with Jack Daniels. I will see if I can rescue a glass or two and surprise him with these lovely chicken thighs.
    Best wishes

    I've not had it with whiskey before. Sounds intriguing. I do love a good BBQ though.

    Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
