Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 is Tennessee whiskey at 80 proof / 40% ABV on the standard US black label, from Lynchburg. It is not labeled bourbon. Charcoal mellowing (Lincoln County Process) sits on top of a bourbon-like grain-and-new-oak skeleton. This is not Bonded, not Gentleman Jack, not Triple Mash. Hub: Jack Daniel’s.

What the bottle actually is
Export SKUs can print a different strength — confirm the neck. Bonded is 100 proof and a different rule set. Triple Mash is a blended straight whiskey, not this bottle. See what proof is Jack Daniel’s, alcohol in Jack, and Bonded vs Triple Mash.
A 1.5-ounce pour is one standard drink. A 750 mL is about 17. Lynchburg sits in a dry county; that does not change the bottle in a California store.
Lab notes
Nose, rewritten: caramel, a mild banana ester, not a fruit bomb. Palate: balanced caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, medium body. That is the house two-line brief in our words. Charcoal mellowing is why the brand talks “smooth” more than rye-spice. Whether you taste banana is personal; we will not make it a scoring note.
