- Whats The Difference Between The Green Jack Daniels Label And ...
According to the Jack Daniels’ website, Jack Daniel’s Green Label is a lighter, less mature whiskey with a lighter color and character. Which means, for people who normally don’t drink whiskey or bourbon, they will probably find this not quite so strong. I prefer Woodford Reserve, or Wild Turkey American Honey Liqueur myself. Jack Daniel's Black Label Tennessee Whiskey has no carbohydrates (sugar or starch), gluten, fats, or cholesterol, as these are removed in the distilling process. One fluid ounce of Jack Daniel's contains approximately 65 calories.

Whisky Comparison, Whisky of the WeekJack Daniel’s is one of those polarising brands. Some people love it; some people hate it. Regardless of your view on it, Jack Daniel’s has become a cult brand around the world, and you can find it in most bars and liquor stores. There are various bottlings of Jack Daniel’s available in SA, but what exactly is the difference between the standard Jack Daniel’s vs Gentleman Jack?
The exact date of Jasper Newton ‘Jack’ Daniel’s birth is unknown, but he was from Welsh and Scottish descent. He started the Jack Daniel’s distillery around 1866. During his lifetime the brand grew rapidly, and Tennessee becomes a significant player in the American distilling industry. Jack was a confirmed bachelor, and he left the distillery to his nephew Lem Motlow.
The distillery remained in Jack’s family until 1956. It was bought by Brown Forman and has been part of this drinks conglomerate ever since.
Jack Daniels’ brand of Tennessee whiskey has become the highest-selling American whiskey in the world. Jack Daniel’s whiskey isn’t bourbon, despite following most of the same processes as bourbon. In production methods at least. There is, however, one key difference.
Tennessee whisky whiskey is filtrated through sugar maple charcoal before maturation.

Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 is the start of this Tennessee whiskey range. It is made according to the Lincoln County Process. The whiskey is filtered through charcoal chips before going into the casks for ageing. Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 is only charcoal filtered once. The bottle you can easily recognise, and all over the world people will know the brand.
Gentleman Jack was introduced in 1988 as an upscale offering to appeal to consumers who wanted to move to a more premium brand. It is twice filtered through sugar maple charcoal. First, it is charcoal mellowed before going into the barrel. Then it is sugar maple charcoal mellowed again before being bottled.
According to some sources, Gentleman Jack is aged longer than the regular Jack Daniels. But as Jack Daniel’s is aged until the distillers are happy with it, it is difficult to define an age.

There is a definite improvement from the Jack Daniel’s Old No 7 to the Gentleman Jack. Gentleman Jack is smoother and easier to drink than Old No 7. The distinctive Jack Daniel’s distillery notes are there, but in the Gentleman, it fits together better.
To me, this Jack is that person from the rougher side of town that made the big time through hard work and perseverance. Confident and well dressed and comfortable in her /his skin.
I have also done a side by side comparison between the Gentleman Jack and the Woodford Reserve bourbon.
