Jack Daniels Special Release Barrel Proof Rye 2020 Limited Edition 130.8 (750ml)

The whiskey in this release was distilled in January 2015, so it is in the 5-6 year range. That is typical for Jack Daniel’s single barrel releases.

The mashbill is 70% Rye, 12% Malted Barley and 18% Corn which is the same as their other rye releases.

Jack Daniel’s rye distillate is run through 3 feet of charcoal before barreling instead of the 10 feet that their “bourbon mashbill” is run through.

Their Master Distiller used the words “Bourbon Mashbill” to describe their non-rye whiskey.

The majority of Jack Daniel’s Single Barrels come from the top floors of about 30-40 of their warehouses that had been previously identified as producing good single barrels. This release came from those same areas.

There were 200 barrels in this release and they got about 130-150 bottles per barrel.

This release was non-chill filtered, only being run through a single cellulose pad to keep the barrel chunks out of the bottles.
