Jack Daniel's Single Barrel (Barrel Proof) Review

Rex & Daniel try a tiny bottle with a big ABV.
Thanks to Mike Carr for the whiskey. Cheers ya MB!

[@Dustydanswhiskeyreviews]

One of the most underrated barrel proofs on the market hands down.

[@CharleyCarey]

Seriously! To find a single barrel at that proof for under $70 in today's market is crazy.

[@PhinClio]

Daniel: "This tastes like french toast. I hate french toast. I actually like this a lot."

[@GainsMarathon]

Lol

[@davidhutton8353]

I can't take Daniel seriously without his medallion.

[@HighTecRedNeck]

That's like saying you can't take a bald guy serious because he has no hair... oh shit I just described Daniel.

[@samtracey3100]

I can't take him seriously the way he pronounces, "Almost", "Toast", "Round" and the fact he says "Toast" 6 times in almost 30 seconds. HAH

[@Grizzly_6623]

I just DON’T take Daniel seriously without his medallion

[@ficskull1816]

My wife just left me... Oh, a peanut note!

[@blast3028]

here's the thing

[@PorcupineTreeEOJ]

I'm pretty sure the price you quoted was for the 750ml because I paid like $60 for a 750ml of this. Quite a good deal at $60

[@QuayDawgg]

Same here

[@androlgenhald476]

Yep, $60 in stores around me as well.

[@NathanDeckinga]

I came here to say the same thing. I've purchased a bottle of it because it was something new and relatively high proof and reasonably priced for the proof-bottle. I paid that $60ish in Austin, so Daniel's google-fu was weak today.

[@Kain8719]

I literally just had a bottle of this show up at my house today that I ordered monday, I don't think I paid $60 for it, though it was onsale and 10% off. Looking forward to it. I've only recently started playing with the barrel proof whiskeys.

[@mikealley2596]

Same

[@ralexander90]

I’m a fairly recent new watcher and what amazes me compared to the early episodes to now is how the level of disheveled ness of Daniel’s beard slowly decreases and Rex’s overall disheveled ness slowly increases....Cheers you MBs

[@lerxstdirk2160]

You two are the reason I have 30+ bottles in my house right now. I am really enjoying the experience of trying new things and drinking the whisk(e)y.

[@jameswright4236]

I've about 15 at the moment, most of which are Highland and Speyside malts. I've been doing my dry week but think I'm going to celebrate on Sunday by opening my Port Charlotte or Classic Laddie.

[@baaa4698]

[@markwalker619]

30? You must just be getting started. 😂

[@tspin9983]

Total or just whiskey?

[@solractrades]

My only regret is finishing bottles never buying new whiskeys I'm at 10 - 15 of bottles.

[@bram2437]

Just found this channel. I really appreciate the feedback you guys provide. You know your stuff but don't take things too seriously. Great balance of entertainment & education. Good luck to the both of you in the future. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year too.

[@joshmetz36]

Kinda new to the whiskey scene here but really like Jack Daniels SB select. With Covid and the seclusion that comes with that, watching your videos makes life feel a little more normal. So thanks for that. Two thumbs up

[@anthonymaccio1328]

Thank you Daniel and Rex for a great channel that helped us get thru 2020. Jack Daniel's Single Barrel BP on a national average would be about $60 - $65. You could possible pick up an JDSBBP that goes up to 140 proof. I found one at 132 proof. It depends upon the individual barrel. Cheers! Happy Holidays!

[@clucking]

Just opened a bottle of the Barrel Proof - definitely got the french toast/cinnamon toast but followed up quickstyle by HEAVY peanuts. Thick & rich like a milkshake - love this stuff. $60 for a 750ml at Safeway.

[@dksculpture]

I never drink whiskey on the rocks ... except this particular one is outstanding on ice once a bit of the ice melts. Delicious!

[@Scionfrs088]

Ugh about time! One of my favorite bottles. Great proof and pretty available.

[@DaleLClay]

Fancy Dan needs to add a "100% dry aged Hipster" under all future Rex intro's.

[@smartin1476]

You doubled the price. Its $64 in MA for a 750ml of this and its glorious!

[@edwardmobley7126]

Yeah they should really correct that.

[@jonnyfish76]

It's a half bottle, so they doubled the price accordingly. Cheers.

[@silentstorm-nf5no]

@@jonnyfish76 750ml in these parts runs $60.99 what they did was doubled it to 1500ml bottle.

[@jonnyfish76]

@@silentstorm-nf5no Ohhh...so that's what everybody's whining about?

[@robmiller212]

That may be so, but price is also dependent on location. I'll have to see what the price is on the bottle I saw in my location and the size of the bottle.

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

Cool 😎 review. I love the JD-SBBP. I've bought 6 of those half bottles ranging from 126-133+ proof. In AZ it's cheaper to buy 2 of those 375ml bottles at $32/ea than the $66 for the standard size bottle. First time I bought one; I laughed at how the cork dwarfed the bottle. There's no moving beyond Jack Daniel's. There's only evolving by adding variety to your palate.🥃

[@srm158]

This is one of my brothers' go to for when we smoke cigars in the summer. We both don't care for it much neat, which is our usual style, but it definitely opens up nicely on a hefty ice cube. I still prefer the normal single barrel neat, however.

[@RussShawTV]

Great stuff guys! Love your Jack D. I'm a big fan on JD thanks fore the funny and effin informative review.

[@MrSomnophore]

I paid $25.99 for a 375. It is one of my favorites currently. To me it is a strong Egg Nog on the nose and very vanilla on the pallet. Two thumbs up for sure!

[@jasonmaddox1312]

I am always amazed when you guys get a big brand that you haven't tried

[@AmericanScotchDoctor]

Ya... it’s also been wild how many obscure / fresh styles that the big brands have started to push out. They now have to compete with the small distilleries that are being creative and making more unique styles of whisk(e)y... which I find fun! Cheers!

[@travelfreakshorts8242]

Got this after waiting for it to come back in stock for over 8 months. Excited!

[@17austintaylor17]

Literally my favorite bottle I have ever had, mine was 66.67 and it was good

[@UsedBrain4U]

Mine was 64.5% and it was by far the best JD I have ever had. My wife had more than 1/2 the bottle. Yeah, we're still married.

[@ohslowpoke4720]

Mine too, absolute favourite bottle. It's sad because I got just one bottle here in Canada and our government liquor store has never had them back in stock in over a year

[@bigdave2952]

I get burnt marshmallow and vanilla and cherry, it’s amazing. Luckily down here I can get it 90% of the time

[@davidmcguire6043]

Stick with the bottles over 130 proof. Trust me.

[@stanleysteemer7069]

@@ohslowpoke4720 government liquor store? Sounds rough. I’m just cracking open a new bottle at 130.0 proof 65.00%… nuttiness beyond belief along with toasted marshmallow, some vanilla and lots of brown sugar… peanut, peanut, PEANUT.. it’s wildly delicious and so unique and different. YUM! Amazing expression from JD, very grateful it’s $36.62 after tax for a 375ml down here.

[@modestollanes8527]

I picked up a 375 for $31 last week. Have only had one pour, but my initial impressions are that I really like it. The 750's are $53 out here.

[@dalynbratcher9888]

Mike again!?!? This guy is awesome! Two episodes in a row, he practically sent you guys 100 bucks Also yo I’m from Tennessee! I love watching you guys stuff, I don’t really know anything about whiskey..through my teens I drank jack and Jim beam of course since they are both very popular here, then when I turned 18 I tried out four roses, and it’s the only whiskey I’ve drank since. I hope that’s good? Haha!

[@Old_SnakeTwitch]

YES! cinnamon french toast with maple syrup!! thats exactly what i get on the normal single barrel, i love it. And that punky corn funk is nice to me too, I wanna explore more corn whiskeys

[@neilljennings-nj7el]

I really like having a drink and listening to you two

[@Iowaclass65]

A great review without a lot of unrelated nonsense, thank you! $65 seems to be the going rate here, but it has become impossible to find. The secret must be out. I have 2 put away and will get more if I ever see another bottle. A steal at $65. This and the BP Rye are great products and I am not a fan of the Black Label flagship product

[@dewaynejackson2880]

You guys got the best job in the world.keep up the good work. I buy a couple bottles a month. Still can't find elmer t lee in ohio yet. But the barrel proof jack is really good. Much much better than regular jack.thanks for the video

[@eboyblackout]

Guys, big fan of your stuff, mad shit! It's my birthday, please send some birthday vibes if you guys see this, keep up the good stuff guys, love these videos!

[@rockermork]

This is a Top 10 whisk(e)y for me!

[@RodneyHenderson357]

Was finally able to grab a 375 about 3 weeks ago. Been searching for over a year. Excited to crack it open. For a smaller bottle it's sharp looking with it's own necklace

[@marcwaddell5605]

The 750 ml bottle only runs $69 in Virginia. It’s a very good botttle so is the black label barrel select. It’s only $49. Both very good pours.

[@RickTCPB]

I was really expecting some Fancy Dan editing retaliation after the "Bring it baby".....Rex dodged a bullet on this one!

[@problemwithauthority]

I picked up a bottle of the single barrel barrel proof JD in Lynchburg, TN last year. I liked it to the last drop. It was $70+ at the distillery gift shop.

[@TheMooseintree14]

It's crazy! I have the 2021 batch and all the same similarly but mine is spicy pepper, like Tuscany. 👍 love your content first video I've seen.

[@Horazzify]

The way you explained disliking French toast is the exact same feeling I have about vegetable soup. I like the stuff in vegetable soup but hate the way it tastes when combined together.

[@BudsCartoon]

Thank you for explaining what single barrel/barrel proof meant.

[@JasonFeinman]

Everyone seems to be finding this regularly but I have only seen it at very small liquor stores and at very limited quantities. When one does get it in, it sells fast. I think it’s one of the best whiskeys around.

[@TheLandstrider]

Love the funk effect fancy dan Keep it up Makes my nose vent every time

[@rickycano3245]

I always see this bottle and never end up pulling the trigger even though jack was my intro to whiskey but now I may need to

[@Postpar]

shit I honestly figured they had this before. I guess living in TN just makes this more common. its in every store that carries higher end bottles and here in TN the 750ml bottles of it are $60.

[@spacechimp3199]

Does this mean that if I move to Scotland I can have an abundance of cheap Lagavulin?

[@Aron-ru5zk]

Rick Dalton • 13 years ago, Here in wales a 700ml bottle of lagavulin 16 is £50.

[@spacechimp3199]

@@Aron-ru5zk that’s a little bit less than the average price in the US. Perhaps it’s because you’re relatively close to Islay?

[@MACE_HINDU]

Hell I live in California and I have seen this a few times been thinking about getting it

[@Aron-ru5zk]

richard barrick 70cl/700ml is the standard size in Europe, even bourbon comes in 700ml bottles. I know in the US it’s 750, that’s why I mentioned it.

[@drewarcher1672]

Just yesterday I was wondering if they had reviewed this bottle....Its amazing considering the price and availability.

[@YoPaulieMusic]

Hooray! Reviewing something I actually have! ;) This is actually the bottle that started my whiskey collection back in January of this year... this wonderful, awesome, expensive collection. :)

[@MrRossman2]

It's interesting to me how different either my taste buds are or how different my bottle of this stuff is from theirs. When I drink this, I get a banana bread backwards. First I get like walnuts (I hate nuts in banana bread), then a kind of bread-like note, then bananas on the finish. Sweet throughout.

[@allyourbase12]

for $140, no go. But I usually see that all over down here for $60/750ml. For $60 and the fact that you cant walk into a store around here and not find a bottle (but I'm in TN, so it makes sense its incredibly available), it's becoming one of my favorites.

[@scottypotty3]

I think Jack single barrel barrel proof is absolutely amazing! I'm in California and a 750 ml is 55 bucks. Never seen it more than 65 anywhere.

[@co8539]

I personally couldn’t enjoy it. I got it as a gift. I’m gonna revisit it and give it an honest try again soon since everyone seems to love it. How do you prefer it? Neat?

[@odiamonds1961]

Outstanding hooch! Never had a bad bottle…. First sip is a little hot and after that outstanding flavors. Forget about your misconceptions about Jack! This is a unicorn for the price!

[@odiamonds1961]

You are %100 correct! I love this stuff!!

[@hulkslayer626]

I can't drink regular Jack, because of stupid things I did when I was younger (like playing Jack pong because I don't like beer lol) but absolutely LOVE the barrel proof releases! Soooooo good!

[@chrisgreer6224]

I feel like at this point, it just needs to be said... Daniel you are the bomb. Your sommy senses, knowledge of historical antics, and experience comparing whiskies are greatly appreciated. Now don't get me wrong you are still a dolphin smooth headed, hyper-sensitive hobbit.

[@FirstPhilWhisky]

Whoa massive abv! Thanks for the review

[@MiguelTorres-hg1kn]

I love the BP. One of my new favorites. However, here in Connecticut a 750 goes for $65. Cheers gents.

[@histimness]

A group of us did a tasting of this bottle and 3 of 4 got an undeniable Banana Laffy Taffy vibe on the nose.

[@IPANoah]

I got a store pick from Total Wine for 74.99 for the 750 ml bottle. Still trying to figure it out, by far the highest proof spirit I've ever tried.

[@chaddavis5967]

Fancy Dan has done the impossible, he found a way to use editing to make Daniel interesting. Godspeed Sir.

[@Beechhill]

May science enrich your life henceforth!

[@JM-bg2ts]

I always get a banana candy note from Jack Daniels. Glad to hear you guys say that.

[@tobin_nathan]

Gets me every time with the “funk” 😂

[@bigzach322]

Bad Googling sirs, it's $69.95 for 750 mL in North Carolina and commonly on sale for $64.95. One of the best available barrel proof whiskeys that sits on the shelf while everyone scrambles for BTAC and limited releases.

[@iseedumbppol]

I paid $65 for a 750 ml bottle of my JD Single Barrel Barrel Proof and I absolutely love it at that price. Can never seem to find any Stagg Jr. around Hawaii, so this will suffice.

[@paulhegarty6183]

I get the full bottle (750ml) Single Barrel Store Pick Barrel Proof for $60 in CA!!!! One of my favorites

[@coleboozer4032]

Bought a store pick of this stuff for $65 for a 750ml, haven't opened it up yet but I'm looking forward to it!

[@jbpoletti]

Most underrated barrel proof! Never had so much intensity in flavor, and for 55$ and readily available? Blows away ECBP, which is a great bourbon. I found a bunch of 375’s on sale for 20$ a piece. I’d say best whiskey ever for 40$ a bottle

[@Jbroker404]

375ml for $20? That's crazy! Normal price is $65 for 750ml

[@gman5986]

Please post the link to the store you purchased for $20................Cheers!

[@matthewtwright84]

Do you think the shape of a bottle can affect the taste of whiskey long term once it is open. For instance, a wide bottle allowing more air contact with surface of whiskey.

[@darrenc8776]

Really loving the editing

[@jeffa.8976]

Im not much of a whisky guy, hated it at first but by the time i minished my first glass mixed with water i loved it, would buy again

Hi. There was a 750ml that I should have bought last week for around $60. They had 1 left. Went back tonight and it was gone. Random stop at another store on the way home had the little bottle for $34.99. So I paid a premium...but who cares, I am ecstatic it's on the shelf. Just looking at it - I'm happy. : )

That bottle goes for about $45 here is Sunny Santa Clarita CA. We just moved here two months ago from Upstate NY. The liquor prices are so cheap here. I did not expect that to be the case.

Bought my first bottle of this today and I love it. I get vanilla, brown sugar, and banana walnut bread. So much banana walnut bread.

I wonder if the bottled in bond Jack stands at all up to the barrel proof. Has anyone tried them both since I can only find the BIB version wher I'm at.?

Any more than 140 proof straight taste like gasoline I don't care if you put it in a charred barrel or not

[@jase1911]

Just curious about your thoughts and opinions about Yukon Jack 100 proof?

wait... that’s around $75 for a 750mL where I’m at. Are we now saying prices as accurately as names? 😆

[@mellasio3911]

question ...you guys notice after drinking something like 2-3 years ago and come back you find that they drop on quality ? for reasons like they need to make more and put some add or they sell well and dont care about quality that much

[@williamgullett8071]

I just found this today in the 375ml bottles for 15 bucks each. I bought two, a fifth total, for 30 bucks plus tax. Just tried it and it's good. I'm going back there tomorrow when they open and buy at least 4 more or whatever they have left

[@skillet2187]

im glad im not the only one whom thought of french toast. my buddy laughed at me saying that but yeah this batch put my taste buds through mulitple rounds. almost like a boxing match.

It’s definitely $65 for a 750ml bottle where I live. At that price point, it’s one of my favorite whiskeys!

It's a shame I can't seem to find this in the UK. Of all the JD bottles on the shelf I've been excited to try either the Single Barrel or the SB Rye.

Yah this is 70 tops for 750ml. Not a bad price. Pretty fair. It is jack cranked up to 11. Good description

[@robbiedaniels2164]

Retail on that is around 65 for a full size bottle. Just bought one a couple months ago.

[@ilikethesun2009]

What episode are the referencing with the Turkey?

[@griggsb1]

This is a must have.....by the case. It is so good! It was as though they started slightly snobby, but when the ABV became the topic eyes were like YES! Flavor and ABV ....hard to beat, by the way its Tennessee Whiskey! Middle Tennessee Real Estate!

[@HighTecRedNeck]

My bottle of single barrel barrel proof Jack was very heavy, to me, on the banana. I was about to be confused with my tastings, until I heard you guys say you tasted it aswell.

[@daletaylorjr.4786]

I got a bottle of this a few months back while visiting the Jack Daniel's distillery. I opened it the night I was told I was going to be a grandfather. I was too distracted by the news to remember if I liked it or not. Helpful hint, Don't visit JD until after they are fully reopened. We didn't get to see much.

[@EthEdr]

Maybe a dumb question but is the single barrel also charcoal filtered? Didn't see it on the bottle.

[@2KWIK4U]

Which is better proof or select

[@tylertapp131]

Have you guys tried the jack daniels single barrel rye?

[@bunit1701]

While you have the half-bottle there, in general the 750ml goes for $60-75 in Colorado.

[@robertreynolds7123]

By far my favorite whiskey. Water amplifies it too
