Description

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye — a 70% rye mash bill Tennessee straight rye whiskey from the Jack Daniel Distillery, applying the Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing that defines all Jack Daniel’s production to a genuine rye whiskey grain bill, producing a category expression unavailable from any other major American distillery.

Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye was a significant departure when it launched — the world’s most recognizable Tennessee whiskey brand releasing a straight rye that applies the Lincoln County Process to a high-rye mash. The 70% rye grain bill produces the category’s characteristic spice, pepper, and grain energy; the charcoal mellowing before barrel entry imparts a smoothness that Kentucky straight ryes at comparable ages don’t have. The result is a rye whiskey that sits between categories — the spice and complexity of straight rye with the distinctive mellowed character of Tennessee whiskey production.

Bottled at 94 proof from a single barrel with full provenance labeling.
