Topic: Black particles in Jack daniels whiskey Posted: 25.03.2007 at 16:06 |
recently i bought a miniature bottle of jack daniels sour mash whiskey no.7..and there are black particles floating in it,about 5 of them..small tiny black coloured particles..i wonder if its a common thing in whiskey?..since they said they filter their whiskey using maple charcoal..so the black coloured stuffs could be the charcoal..
help anyone?..i dont dare to drink it as long as i dont know what are those black stuffs..

Interesting, and I have no answer for it. The maple charcoal filtering that occurs is through a vat which precedes any filtering that occurs during bottling.
However, it is not uncommon for barrel char to occur in bottlings of American whiskey -- bourbons George T. Stagg, Booker's, William Larue Weller, et al -- that are otherwise unfiltered. I really can't see how that can happen with Jack Daniel's. However, export barrels are processed differently than those intended for domestic/U.S. consumption. I think it is safe to assume that any 'black particles' that occur are either from the original barrel or from the maple vat through which JD is processed. |

Have had the same problem with some malts and i`m still alive i think it is indeed some of the charcoal or from the casks the whisky was in.If you don`t like to risk it pour the whisky trough a coffeefilter.Slainthe!

no need to worry. is simply some charcoal that has managed to make its way through the filtering process from the barrel. i myself work in a distillery that actually uses ex jack daniels casks, and you would not believe how much charcoal comes out when it comes round to emptying!!
