Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauces Gift Pack
The delicious smooth flavour of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is instantly recognisable and one bloke the world over adore. Most famously sipped mixed with Coca Cola, ‘JD’ is the drink of choice for the manly man; a meat-eating, machine-loving macho dude who isn’t afraid to have the back of his throat burn a little.
If you know someone who loves meat and loves JD, then we have the perfect gift for them – the Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce Gift Pack. These three barbecue sauces take that iconic JD flavour and use it as a base for delicious, mouth-watering brush-on barbecue deliciousness in three whiskey-riffic flavours – Original, Jalapeño Chilli and Smoky Tomato & Onion – to take your barbecued meats from average to Jack Daniel’s Spectacular!
The sauces come beautifully gift-boxed in a Jack Daniel’s print carton and are officially licensed by Mr Daniel himself. There’s no better present for Jack Daniel’s loving meat man than one that combines his two favourite things – meat and whiskey!
