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

[@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!

[@therinsig]

I passed on these bottles like a dozen times because I hated Jack Daniels from college. But then I finally got one. It's insane. My bottle tastes exactly like a bananas foster dessert.

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

Great video. Maybe a dumb question, but why do different barrels have such different flavor profiles when they have the same product going in?

[@BourbonJunkies]

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.

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.

Just started on my whiskey journey after drinking beer for the longest. I found a pack of JD family line that had single barrel select. I tried some of it, and it's smooth, but all I could smell and taste was the alcohol. How can I tell what the notes of it is with smell and taste? Or does that come with drinking it for some time?

[@onggia850]

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.

[@michaelhogan7866]

I have the 137-2 proof, and it is awesome! The “Old No. 7” is killing their reputation! I know it’s most of their revenue, but they do know what they’re doing at JD!

[@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
