Jack Daniel’s Barrel Proof Tennessee Rye Whiskey 750 ML

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye was first released as a limited edition in 2020. The company recently announced that this would become a permanent line extension for the brand, and it is also available as a single barrel selection on an allocated basis. Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye follows previous Jack Daniel’s rye releases that included Unaged Rye in 2012, Rested Rye in 2014, Single Barrel Rye in 2016, and Tennessee Rye in 2017.

Like any single barrel, barrel proof release, proofs vary by barrel. And in usual Jack Daniel’s style, the proof points are generally high. Clocking in at over 137 proof, this barrel’s proof is evident throughout with heat upfront, persistent heat through the palate, and heat that tapers towards heavy spice in the finish. Raisin and burnt oak add depth to the nose, with butterscotch and caramel weaving into the palate. At the finish, enjoyable amounts of leather and cigar box flavors join in.
