# Hot-Served Apple Liqueurs Jack Daniel's Winter Jack Returns as a Warm Whiskey Pour By Amy Duong | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-10-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiced-apple-liqueurs References: [thespiritsbusiness](https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2026/10/would-you-drink-mulled-jack-daniels)  Jack Daniel's is bringing Winter Jack back to the UK, giving drinkers a quick hot serve for autumn and winter nights. The [spiced apple liqueur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-ginger-gin-liqueur) can be heated in a microwave or on the hob, so it skips the work of mixing a mulled drink from scratch. It is built on the brand's Tennessee whiskey. At 15% ABV, the 700ml bottle offers a softer route into [warm whiskey serves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-x-civerinos-hot-honey) than a neat pour. Apple and cinnamon push it toward a familiar mulled profile, letting it sit in the same occasion as heated wine while keeping a whiskey base. For shoppers, this means an easier bottle to pick up for low-fuss hosting when a regular whiskey serve feels less seasonal. It also widens the [festive drinks shelf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-run-spirits) with a heat-and-serve option that needs little more than a mug.
