Jack Daniel's, in collaboration with the Washington Capitals professional hockey team, has released a fifth edition of a co-branded whiskey. This year's offering is distinct in that it is a blend of spirits drawn from three separate barrels, which were chosen by two of the team's former players. The Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey was selected by Capitals alumni Karl Alzner and Alan May.
Ben Osei, Jack Daniel's Marketing Manager, enthusiastically shared: "Having Karl Alzner join Alan May in selecting a blend of three incredible barrels has resulted in a unique whiskey with layers of bold, robust flavor that fans are going to love."
The Jack Daniel's x Washington Capitals expression falls under the distillery's 'Personal Collection' program, which "is a highly selective process, with only one out of every 100 barrels produced deemed worthy of the distinction by the team of whiskey makers at Jack Daniel's."
