A “fifth” refers to a traditional bottle size for spirits, originally one-fifth of a US gallon, equivalent to 757 milliliters. This size is commonly associated with various liquors, including Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. The actual price for a bottle of this volume varies depending on the specific type of Jack Daniel’s (e.g., Old No. 7, Gentleman Jack), the retailer, and the location of purchase. It’s advisable to consult local liquor stores or online retailers for current pricing.
This traditional bottle size has been a standard in the spirits industry for many years, though some producers are now also using 750 milliliter bottles, the metric equivalent. Understanding this terminology allows consumers to accurately compare prices and quantities across different brands and retailers. Historically, the fifth was the most common size for spirits in the United States. The shift towards metric measurements has led to some changes, but the term fifth remains widely recognized and used.
