Jack Daniel's - Single Barrel Rye - 45%
The Jack Daniel's distillery, located in Lynchburg, Tennessee, remains one of the world’s most iconic and renowned references for American whiskey. Since 1866, it has upheld centuries-old traditions, notably thanks to the purity of its spring water and the Lincoln County Process, a slow filtration through maple charcoal that guarantees its whiskeys their smoothness, roundness, and a perfectly controlled character. Famous for its renowned Old No.7, the house also offers a remarkable Single Barrel range, where each barrel is individually selected for its aromatic qualities and uniqueness. This collection highlights the exceptional richness of aging in American oak barrels, especially in the upper levels of the warehouses, exposed to climatic fluctuations that intensify complexity and aromatic intensity. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye thus embodies the boldest and most refined expression of rye whiskey by Jack Daniel's, offering a powerful, vertical style, intensely aromatic, while retaining the sweetness and indulgence characteristic of the house.
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye 45% is made from a rye-dominant recipe, bringing tension, freshness, spices, and structure, perfectly balanced by the famous charcoal filtration. After meticulous fermentation and precise distillation, the spirit rests in new barrels, intensely toasted and charred, enriching the whiskey with vanilla, caramelized, and woody nuances that enhance the purity of the grain. Only a few exceptional barrels are selected to compose this rare cuvée, chosen for their depth, elegance, and aromatic intensity. A 45% bottling enhances the expressive richness of the rye and offers a perfect balance between power and finesse. Each bottle bears its barrel number, guaranteeing its unique and authentic character, reflecting Jack Daniel’s artisanal expertise. This cuvée thus embodies a generous and structured rye, intended for discerning enthusiasts seeking a terroir-marked whiskey with a strong identity.
On tasting, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye 45% reveals a sublime sparkling amber robe with copper reflections. The nose, very expressive, opens with intense rye spices, cinnamon, black pepper, enhanced by indulgent notes of caramel, vanilla, ripe fruits, and a woody hint. The palate seduces with a broad and lively attack, unveiling a full body where crunchy rye, delicate honey, plum, orange peel, and a touch of toasted oak wonderfully blend. The texture, both silky and vibrant, expresses a spicy tension characteristic of rye. The finish, long and persistent, is marked by elegant notes of blond tobacco, brown caramel, dried fruits, and spices, in remarkable harmony. To be served neat or slightly chilled, it will perfectly accompany a dark chocolate dessert, a spiced crumble, aged cheese, or a mild cigar.
