Are Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Barrel Proof Rye Any Different From Each Other?

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Jack very quickly entered my top 5 distillery list. They just do such an amazing job on every new product

Jack 12 and this are two of the best bottles I have had all year.

Same!

[@tabray9567]

I was fortunate enough to get a 137.2. It opened with mint notes combined with a syrupy sweet, rye profile. It changed a lot during the two quick months it survived . It never faded nor lost any flavor. It just kept on flowering into sweet and new flavors. If this can become a shelf staple, then the bar for all Ryes has been lifted. Bravo JD

[@Lithanify]

Just got a 136.2... My new favorite bottle of whiskey I own.

[@terrencemcdermott5840]

I love how Jack tests the market through special releases then actually follows up on it and puts out product. 2020 release now we have SiBBP Ryes, twice barreled single malt, now there is a release out I think in duty free of the same thing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they come out with it across the US when they have more barrels aged. My SiBBP rye is delicious, mine definitely comes across more as a high rye bourbon. But considering how sweet the bourbon is this just tastes like a more well rounded whiskey. Can’t wait to grab a SiBBP bourbon and make a little Jack Bourye!

[@dennisfoltz8079]

Last week at our local store, I picked up an Eagle Rare and a Weller Antique! Lovin' life!

Great review gents. I’ve tried 3 of the new single barrels and one new store pick Sib rye compared to two different 2020 LE bottles the store pick beat the one 2020 LE bottle but the other LE bottle beat all. The store pick beat all shelfers. Either way JD is killing it and some of these shelfers and more of the store picks will beat the 2020 LEs no reason to buy those on secondary anymore

70% Rye for all of the JD Ryes

[@CocktailSavant]

I am really enjoying it. It’s only been last year I really have started to enjoy single Barrel Jack stuff. It might be a Tennessee thing but it’s got that grape note I get off Dickel 8 but in a good way with this. Get a sweet slight banana syrup nuttiness and then that baking spice toasted brown sugar I get from older MGP/ KY ryes. I’m really digging it. Deff does not drink like a 127 proof drinks more like a 105-110

I just got my first bottle for $60 and even though I'm not a rye fan (I like them in cocktails or to try but never found one where I felt I needed a bottle), I'm excited to try these. I'm a big Jack fan and missed the special release rye when it came out and I first started getting into whiskey more seriously, so it became my white whale. Happy to hear that at least some of these give that run for its money! I've heard other people say not to pay over around $75 unless you absolutely need that specific bottle because Jack's goal is to roll these out so they're like the normal JDSBBP and it's harder to gouge people on the prices.

With Jack (Brown Foreman) upping their rye game, is there any indication that Old Forester could be doing the same? Right now, the only options are 100 proof budget and Barrel Strength super hard to find. I would love to see an in between one perhaps even added to the whiskey row series.

This is one of the biggest questions in whiskey. Weather and temp where they're aged, different cooperage, all the barrels are built different from one another (different staves used for each barrel, how long each barrel was seasoned before whiskey went into it, etc.

It comes with time and experiences. I personally have a weak pallet and can only taste three general profiles and not the specific flavor. For example, I can taste baking spices in whiskies but cannot tell you which ones.
