International Jack

The International Jack is a sophisticated cocktail that blends the smooth flavors of Gentleman Jack, a premium Tennessee whiskey, with the nutty and slightly oxidative qualities of Dry Sack Sherry. This combination creates a balanced and intriguing base that is further enhanced by the addition of two dashes of bitters, which provide a subtle complexity and depth to the drink. The result is a well-rounded cocktail that is both smooth and slightly aromatic, making it an excellent choice for whiskey enthusiasts looking for something a bit different.

The origins of the International Jack are not widely documented, but the cocktail likely emerged as a creative twist on classic whiskey cocktails, incorporating sherry to add an international flair. The use of Gentleman Jack, a refined version of Jack Daniels known for its double mellowing process, highlights the drink’s emphasis on smoothness and quality. By pairing it with the distinct flavor profile of Dry Sack Sherry, the cocktail pays homage to both American and Spanish spirits, offering a unique tasting experience that is both familiar and novel.
