Strength of Old No. 7
Brown-Forman lists Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey at 40% alcohol by volume, with a 1.5 oz serving at 97 calories. In the US, proof is twice the ABV, so 40% is 80 proof.
Why 40% is a common number
US federal rules for whisky say it must be bottled at not less than 40% ABV (80 proof). The same rule says it is distilled at less than 95% ABV and stored in oak barrels (corn whisky need not be). This is the general legal minimum, not a Jack Daniel’s statement.
How much alcohol is in a shot
NIAAA says distilled spirits are about 40% alcohol and that a US standard drink holds 14 grams of pure alcohol (0.6 fl oz). By our calculation, one 1.5 oz pour of an 80-proof spirit is about one standard drink. Use the standard drink calculator for other pour sizes, or see how many drinks are in a bottle.
Other Jack Daniel’s products
The brand sells other expressions, such as flavored and higher-proof bottlings. We did not verify their strengths on an official page, so read the label. Alcohol affects people differently; ask a doctor if you have a health concern.
