Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select Rye Whiskey S1B42

This historic creation marries the smoothness of Jack Daniel's with a unique 70% rye grain bill. Complex flavors of ripe fruit mingle with light toasted oak notes to create a taste rich with spice and a pleasant lingering finish. This big, bold rye doesn't overpower — and won't disappoint.

From Lee Diaz, Topflight Series Panel Member:

The Single Barrel Rye is noted as being Jack Daniel's first new mash recipe released since 1866. It's easy to see why this was such a standout that it needed to go into production. It not only highlights some of those core notes and the consistency you have come to love from Jack Daniel's, but it also comes packing with grain-forward elements hitting with that subtle rye spice. On the nose, you'll discover vanilla cake and glazed dark fruit, leading into that rye spice. You'll find vanilla and nuttiness on the palate that leads into oak and rye bread. The long finish lingers with pepper, earthiness, and leather. As you might expect from Jack Daniel's, they have clearly developed a rye that will satisfy rye drinkers and those new to the whiskey type. To make the most of your tasting experience, pair this with the Single Barrel Tennessee Whiskey to compare the nuances of each.
