The Bottle
Two decades in Tennessee oak produces something unlike any standard release. Expect deep mahogany color, intense dried fruit and leather, toasted oak tannins, and a finish that lingers for minutes. These barrels have been aging since before most Nashville whiskey bars existed. Each barrel is slightly different — proof varies from 119° to 135° depending on barrel evaporation.
NBC's Vault Series represents the deepest reserves in the cellar — whiskeys that have been sitting untouched for more than 20 years waiting for the right moment. The 21yr Tennessee Whiskey bottles are among the oldest Tennessee-distilled whiskeys commercially available anywhere. Once these barrels are gone, there's no replacing them.
21yr Tennessee whiskey is extraordinarily rare in the American market. Most Tennessee whiskey is released at 4–10 years. These barrels sat for more than two full decades before NBC selected them. If you're looking to buy one of the oldest Tennessee whiskeys available online, this is the page.
