Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select is the flagship single barrel expression from the legendary Jack Daniel Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and a genuine step up from the world famous Old No. 7. Where most Jack Daniel's is the product of mingling many barrels for consistency, every bottle of Single Barrel Select comes from one individual barrel, hand selected by the distillery's tasters for the character that best embodies what Jack is known for. These barrels are drawn from the prized upper floors of the barrelhouses, the angel's roost, where the greatest temperature swings drive a deeper, more intense interaction between whiskey and wood. The result is a richer, more robust Tennessee whiskey, built on the classic mashbill of 80 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley, and 8 percent rye, charcoal mellowed drop by drop through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal in the signature Lincoln County Process, then matured in handcrafted new charred American oak. Because each bottle is its own single barrel, no two are exactly alike, and the neck band records the specific barrel number, rack location, and bottling date for the bottle in your hand. Bottled at a consistent 94 proof, a few points above standard Jack, it carries more weight and flavor while remaining smooth and approachable, with rich caramel, toasted oak, vanilla, subtle fruit, and a gentle rye spice. Versatile enough to enjoy neat, over a large cube, or in an elevated Old Fashioned, it is a rewarding everyday single barrel for both the dedicated Jack fan and the curious whiskey drinker.

FAQ
What makes Single Barrel Select special? Each bottle comes from a single hand selected barrel drawn from the upper floors of the barrelhouse, rather than a blend of many barrels, giving it more intensity and barrel to barrel individuality than standard Jack Daniel's.
What proof is it? It is bottled at a consistent 94 proof, or 47 percent ABV. While the proof is fixed, each bottle is its own single barrel, so the flavor varies slightly from barrel to barrel.
What is the mashbill? It uses Jack Daniel's classic recipe of 80 percent corn, 12 percent malted barley, and 8 percent rye.
Is it a bourbon? It meets many bourbon criteria, but Jack Daniel's markets it as Tennessee Whiskey, distinguished by the charcoal mellowing step known as the Lincoln County Process.
What is on the neck band? The neck band records the individual barrel number, rack location, and bottling date for that specific bottle.
