On any given night, in his trademark tuxedo, Sinatra could be seen reaching for a glass of the caramel-colored spirit. Though he never officially endorsed the brand (this was the good old days, before celebs like Connery and Clooney hawked watches), Frank Sinatra, Jr says, “Dad would be very flattered by the association. Old No. 7, as he referred to it, was a favorite part of my father’s life and he loved both sharing it with friends and introducing it new acquaintances.”
Frank Sinatra would have been 100 years old next year, so what better tribute than a special bottle dedicated to the man, himself.

We recommend a trio to taste:
Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select: A bold oak flavor and a vanilla finish; the Whiskey is hand selected by Master Distiller Jeff Arnett and is bottled at 90 proof.
Woodford Reserve: The Kentucky original, Woodford Reserve, is a Manhattan favorite and an ideal bourbon when making classic American cocktails, such as an Old Fashioned. Hand-crafted in small batches, Woodford Reserve combines citrus, cinnamon and cocoa, toffee, caramel, chocolate and other spice notes for a silky smooth, almost creamy finish with a warm satisfying tail.
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel: Not just any JD barrel is granted the status of Single Barrel. Every so often, the Jack Daniel’s Master Tasting Panel discover a barrel of whiskey so special, they put it to one side. Those that are carefully hand-bottled one barrel at a time, each bearing an individual number and bottling date. With a richer, robust flavor to its brother Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel has notes of toasted oak, vanilla and caramel.
