Iconic whisky distillery Jack Daniel’s celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, and to tie in with the occasion, Master Distiller Jeff Arnett has created a brand new expression.
A culmination of 150 years of making great whisky, Jack Daniel’s limited-edition 150th Anniversary expression is luxurious with sweet complexities of butterscotch and toffee joined by flavours of toasted oak and a smooth lingering finish. What’s more, to celebrate the milestone and the new release, Harvey Nichols stores across the country will offer a specially crafted Champagne Sazerac to toast the anniversary.
A perfect match, given that the Sazerac is one of the oldest cocktails, with over 200 years of history attached – the drink will be available at the Knightsbridge store’s Fifth Floor Bar (£11), the Fourth Floor Bar in Leeds and the Second Floor Bar in Manchester (£9). Alternatively, the luxurious cocktail can also be recreated at home by following the recipe below.
