The decision to expand the Heritage Barrel into a permanent addition follows the strong reception of its earlier limited runs, which quickly became sought-after bottles among collectors and connoisseurs. Those special editions highlighted the distillery's ability to innovate while staying rooted in the traditions that define Jack Daniel's. Chris Fletcher, Master Distiller at Jack Daniel's, emphasized the importance of barrel-making to the distillery's craft.

Designations on the ingredients and techniques used to make alcoholic beverages, as well as the locations in which they are made, are nothing new. Champagne can only be made in a particular region of France, single malt Scotch whiskey can only be made using barley, and bourbon must be aged in new charred oak barrels. For the most part, these are good rules that ensure a product bearing a particular designation will fit with the customer's expectations.

Crafted using the same mash bill of 80% corn, 12% malted barley, and 8% rye that forms the backbone of its classic whiskey, Tennessee Blackberry undergoes the signature Lincoln County Process-mellowed drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal. The result is a smooth, clean base that's ready to meet its fruity counterpart.
