Color
Gold to light amber.
Aroma
Sweet and slightly sticky in the best way: classic Tennessee sour‑mash notes wrapped in soft vanilla, caramel and an exotic hint of coconut. The profile is open and rounded, clearly accessible and a touch sweeter than a straight, unflavoured whiskey.
Palate
Mild and very approachable. Corn sweetness and bourbon character form the base, while the coconut accent brings a light, tropical twist. Alcohol heat is restrained; the style is deliberately smooth and uncomplicated rather than dry or austere. A tiny pinch of salt keeps the sweetness in check and adds definition.
Finish
Medium length with a sweet, exotic note and gentle bourbon afterglow. The texture stays soft and easygoing to the end.
Overall Impression
A whiskey for those who like the category but prefer a softer, more playful profile. Drink lightly chilled or over ice, or use it in long drinks such as a “Tennessee Twist” with coconut water, ginger ale or cola.
JJs Manöverschluck Tennessee is a mild mannered Tennessee bourbon paired with a touch of tropical coconut. Bourbon is made from at least 51% corn and this corn basis harmonizes wonderfully together with the fruitiness of the coconut.
The red bottle does not only reflect the traffic red of international maritime rules but in combination with white and a darker blue label pays tribute to the flag of Tennessee.

By sailors for sailors
We love to sail ourselves. David preferably on the Baltic Sea and Jens in the Mediterranean. During a joint sailing trip, we came up with the idea for a new favorite drink. This became JJs Manöverschluck.
Award-winning design
Our bottles come in a striking maritime design. The colors of buoys and navigational beacons are applied to the bottles in a special process and the wooden corks are reminiscent of the many beautiful wooden boats. We received the world-renowned iF Design Award for our design.
Our contribution:
The cleanest seas
As sailors ourselves, we enjoy the relaxation at sea that nature gives us. We notice that the seas are getting more and more polluted. That's why we donate 50 cents for every bottle of JJs Manöverschluck sold to the organization The Ocean Cleanup, which works to keep the oceans clean.
In recognition of our commitment, we received the "Global Green Award".
