Jack Daniels Rested Tennessee Rye

All of us, Jack Daniels enthusiasts, know of the existence of the Jack Daniels Unaged Tennessee Rye.
We all know about the argument between the TTB and Jack Daniels about this product. The TTB wanted to classify this as a 'neutral spirit' (which basically means vodka). But in the end the argument was settled and Jack Daniels could bring this product as an Unaged Tennessee Rye.

Being Dutch and thus living far, far away from the source, it took good friends and some time to get this bottle at my doorstep. But it eventually did and this one stands proudly in my collection.
After a good two year wait, since the launch of the Unaged Tennessee Rye, we're on the verge of the launch of the rested version of the Unaged Rye.
The TTB approved the bottledesign, labels and the definition of the product last October. So that means we're bound to see the Jack Daniels Rested Tennessee Rye on of these days now.


I would love to tell you about another argument about design of contence, but as far as I know, this time there aren't any. On the TTB application form it's stated the Rye rested for two years. The only thing strange on the application form is the "PLANT REGISTRY/BASIC PERMIT/BREWER'S NO. (Required) ".
As we all know and can see on the Unaged version's necktag, the Unaged Rye got a permit with DSP-TN-1.
For the Rested Tennessee Rye they've licensed with: DSP-TN-4. Does this mean the necktag on the Rested Rye bottles will carry this code?

I, for one, can't wait to see and sample this new product. I bet I have to walk a mile again in order to get myself a sampling bottle and a bottle for the collection.

  2. The DSP-TN-1 on the Unaged Rye product refers to the Jack Daniel Distillery's federally designated credentials (DSP=Distilled Spirits Plant, TN=Tennessee, 1=First Registered). It's a medallion celebrating the fact that the distillery is the first registered distillery in Tennessee. The same medallion will appear on the Rested Rye, too :)
