This Jack Daniel’s Variety Pack Is Perfect for the Holidays—Here’s Where to Find It

We all know Jack Daniel’s is famous for its whiskey—it’s one of the world’s most popular whiskey brands—but the Tennessee-based company has also branched out into ready-to-drink beverages like the Southern Peach Country Cocktail as well as hard seltzers.

And now, just in time for the holiday season, Jack Daniel’s has introduced boxed gift sets so you can sample a handful of what the brand has to offer. Whether you love a smooth barrel-aged bourbon or the sweet heat of Fireball Whisky, there’s bound to be something for everyone in this Jack Daniel’s variety pack.

What’s in the Jack Daniel’s Gift Set?

This set features five 50-milliliter bottles. First, there’s Jack Daniel’s Old. No. 7, which is mellowed through sugar maple charcoal and matured in barrels, and second, there’s the Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire, which is a blend of Jack Daniel’s Old No.7 mixed with cinnamon liqueur. The gift set also includes Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select, a 94-proof whiskey with spicy and fruity notes and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, a blend of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey and honey liqueur. Lastly, but certainly not least, we have Gentleman Jack, which is an 80-proof spirit that’s mellowed two times through charcoal.

It’s up to you how you work your way through this set. You could sip it straight, serve it over ice or make a cocktail. We have plenty of ideas for what to mix with whiskey—from the basics to seasonal options.

Where Can I Find the Variety Pack?

Luckily, the Jack Daniel’s gift set is available online and in stores. You can find it at some Target locations for $14.99 or Total Wine for $23.99 if your state allows alcohol delivery. If you just can’t curb the craving for this gift set but are having trouble finding it at your local Target, you can also order a Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Gift Set, complete with two rocks glasses from Drizzly, delivered straight to your door for $23.99.

This is the perfect gift for the whiskey lover in your life—or just a great way to treat yourself to a spicy cocktail on the weekend. The choice is yours!
