These are two 80-proof Tennessee whiskeys from the same Lynchburg distillery. Brown-Forman’s US product-info sheet prints Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey (Old No. 7) at 40% Alc. by Vol. (80 proof) and Gentleman Jack as “Double Mellowed Tennessee Whiskey” at the same 40% / 80 proof. A 1.5-ounce pour of either is one NIAAA drink. This is not a 2022 winner.
Double-mellowed is brand process language, not a separate TTB class. Related: Jack proof, Bonded vs Triple Mash.
Same proof; different charcoal pass
| Old No. 7 | Gentleman Jack | |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Tennessee whiskey | Tennessee whiskey, double mellowed |
| US proof | 80 / 40% | 80 / 40% |
| 1.5 oz drinks | 1.00 | 1.00 |
| Single Barrel Select | — | 94 proof on the same sheet |
A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 drinks. Four pours are four drinks. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
