🥃 BAC Wh***ey Pick: Jack Daniel’s Bonded 🥃

This week’s Bottle at Cost is Jack Daniel’s Bonded — a Bottled-in-Bond Tennessee Wh***ey clocking in at 100 proof.

Expect rich notes of caramel, toasted oak, roasted peanuts, baking spice, and dark maple, with a long, warming finish. The extra proof gives it more depth and body than Old No. 7 while staying unmistakably Jack.

A great pour for bourbon lovers and Tennessee wh***ey fans alike.

Available tonight while it lasts. Grab a pour, grab a bottle, and stock your shelf at BAC pricing. 🥃🔥

USA @ 8:00 so HAPPY HOUR til the game is over!!!
