That Single Barrel, Barrel Proof is my new favorite!!!! It is AMAAAZING!!!

[@cuba1266]

I just got a bottle it drinks nothing like 131 and by far best bourbon I’ve tasted in my young career.

[@christophervalentin1486]

Jack Daniel single bottle select is the reason why I fell in love with bourbons. My absolute favorite bourbon

[@joshuasteele5108]

Have you tried going back to the no7?

[@pkconces]

I absolutely live how you describe and profile whiskey in your reviews. I have looked at the JD Barrel proof on the shelf forever and never pulled the trigger, until I listened to your review. Just bought a bottle today and WOW, have I been missing out. This is an amazing bottle of whiskey. Exactly the way you describe it. Thanks for the solid review!!

[@johncannon3593]

The SB BP has become one of my absolute favorite high-proofers. Lately I find myself reaching for this more often than ECBP or 1792 Full.

[@police428]

For me. Old No.7 is for normal drinking. Single barrel Select for Occasion. Barrel Proof for holidays. I have Frank Sinatra once a year. On my B-day

[@markwoerner4189]

I was amazed by how good the barrel proof was! I immediately picked up a couple of more bottles. Like the Rye quite a bit too.

[@tctn615]

I haven’t had the barrel proof yet, but the single barrel select is very good. What a step up from the no. 7. Thanks for the great video.

[@yanksrule311]

Never thought very highly of Jack…Until I tried the barrel proof. So good! 🤤

[@uowebfoot]

It's nice to see somebody with lots of experience not just bashing JD. It seems like so many others do. Why? It's made like other whiskeys with an additional step. I'm not a person that drinks JD. I just think a lot of "experts" tend to bash on it and I don't get it.

[@jasono.1629]

So true. I like that they bash it though, makes them not drink it and keeps stocks high and prices low for the rest of us!

[@pauld205]

I know this is an old video, but I just purchased a bottle of the SBBP for $60, and it is unbelievable! My bottle is 130.4 proof, and it's the best bourbon I've ever consumed. It dethroned Russell's reserve single barrel in my opinion. I'm new to the bourbon adventure, but I'm done. Jack Daniels sbpb is as far as I need to go.

[@jarrettm3728]

Just got mine yesterday in Maryland for 109 after tax

[@jameshecker7715]

Jason, great review again. You unlike others doing reviews give such an educational and History of the spirit you are talking about. Thanks for making it so interesting.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks James! Its what I love to do! cheers!

[@Caliban_80]

The name Jack Daniels has kept me away from the barrel proof for so long. I was wrong. It's delightful.

[@MichaelBSteeleAviation]

Same here.

[@joshuasteele5108]

Same, so much time chasing allocated bottles and this one is better than many of them and always available.

[@7474.]

Select is awesome

[@joshuasteele5108]

@@7474. on sale at Costco for 29 bucks. Makes it cheap enough to be a daily drinker.

[@7474.]

@@joshuasteele5108 unfortunately I live in Pennsylvania and we have to go to a state store to buy hard booze ... $29 all day I would buy that ... I just got the barrel prof tonight and waiting for wife to try tonight .. if I remember I will update you buddy ....

[@doughunt5937]

Great review! I really like the bit of history you've been putting into the "On the shelf" reviews and like that I can pick these up on my way home from work to sip along with you as you give your notes.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Yeah that was the point of the series. Better way for everyone to actually find these great whiskeys while everyone else is chasing unicorns. Glad your sipping along. Cheers.

[@bradleylee8650]

I really respect the brand, it’s just never done much for me. I’ve tried it many times and when I return to it I always get excited then after a pour I remember y I haven’t had it in awhile. Maybe if I try some of these single barrels it will do it for me! Love the reviews! I even grabbed a bottle of Old grand dad last week after the review! Keep it up!!👍🏻

[@jasonanderson8102]

The Barrel Proof is unlike any bourbon you can buy. I get way more maple and vanilla than the banana note that IMO is stronger in Old Forester. The most underrated whiskey in the world AND very well priced AND available everywhere.

[@blairgoltra7915]

Appreciate you man. I can always count on an accurate and interesting review with you Jason.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Blair. Appreciate the kind words.

[@coreymartin-bigpoppa1377]

Great job Jason! I have yet to try the single barrel barrel proof. Can't believe I have tried it yet. For sure my next purchase. Slante'

[@grooveman69]

Just picked up a bottle of the SBBP today. Enjoying a pour of it as I watch this. Cheers and thanks for the great reviews.

[@mike_w_21]

Love the history lessons you do on these vids! Really enjoying the bottle of Select I picked up the other day.

[@jeffreyking279]

Nothing wrong with a Jack n Coke or highball by the pool! Jack started it for me back in the day. Still gets it done. Thanks for great review Jason!

[@Gachain]

Very Nice overview Jayson. I have had all three and enjoyed them!! My bottle of JDSBBP was a bit oak forward for me, BUT that is part of being a Single Barrel. The SBBS, I really enjoyed; Corn sweetness that I expect from a Tennessee Whiskey with just the right mixing in of oakiness. The JDSBR, I had at a tasting and I will be looking to pick up a bottle since I am exploring rye at the moment. SLÁINTE MIKE

[@marcusf3636]

I finally got to try the JD SBBP. It is really awesome. I am not usually a high proof person - my staples are Maker's 46, Old Forester 1910, and WtT01. JD SBBP blew me away. I have never had the JD SB but I really do not see any reason to try it. JD SBBP is great to sip on neat and it is a flavor bomb. Low $60's price wise in NJ and worth every penny.

[@seanspartan2023]

Barrel Proof is definitely my favorite, followed by Single Barrel Rye, then Triple Mash.

[@igogun]

I know this is an older vid but I couldn't agree more. JD SB BP is delicious! I just picked up Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof Barrel Select for the holidays. Happy 4th!

[@bobbriante2385]

Tried the Single Barrel Barrel Proof at my hotel bar this evening. First time trying it. OMG, so sweet and flavorful! It is outstanding!

[@Big_Jon_weightroomwhiskey]

as always Jason this is an amazing video. I am really digging these videos of what's on the shelf.

[@joebonjorino7376]

I can’t remember the last time I had a Jack & Coke! Although I’m not going back to those days....after watching your review, I’m gonna grab a bottle of the barrel proof! Another great comparison, Jason! Cheers!!

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Joe. You'll love it

[@iamalan4221]

Back in the 70’s JD had Old Number 7 and a green label product that was a couple of dollars cheaper. It tasted it, too! I half remember it being a young whiskey with a bit of a harsh palette. We always saved up the extra lunch money to get Black label.

[@blackice3395]

Just got a bottle today! Barrel proof

[@christinedaisy594]

That JDSBBP sounds like the one to try, Jason. Thanks for the fantastic review as always! 🥃

[@hikinginidaho]

The JD Barrel proof really was a spot on review- so dang good.

[@andrewnorris6474]

Jason another great OTS video. I was gifted the SBBP this past Christmas and I was upset it took me that long to open since I don't like Old No7. Also try blending JD SbBP with OF1920 I think you will be in for a pleasant surprise. Cheers

[@magellan500]

Great info and commentary on the Single Barrel, Barrel Proof, and the rye, thanks.

[@whiskeyace398]

One of my favorite whiskys as of late

[@patrickfulmer9596]

I bought a bottle of the Single Barrel Select while Christmas shopping. I truly hated it. It was a fake banana bomb on the nose and syrupy sweet. I shoved it to the back of the shelf and vowed to give it away. Then, yesterday I pulled it out when I saw this video coming on. That bottle had totally changed. The banana funk had dissipated and the sweetness calmed down. Now it has classic bourbon notes and a broader palate. It has a wonderful viscosity and this tiny mineral/vegetal note on the finish like a vague hint of Laphroaig. Good show Maestro!

[@benjamineaves595]

Nailed it Jason! 15 yrs ago I toured JD distillery on a whim and thus began my whiskey journey. I will never forget the smell of the rick house. The 2018 Heritage release was a gem and these single barrels are just dynamite good whiskey. I think really undervalued by the whiskey community at large.

[@TheMashandDrum]

I agree...those who dont look past the old No. 8 are missing some outstanding whiskey!

[@franks4973]

JD single barrel barrel proof is my favorite American whiskey so far.

[@stephenfitt5633]

New subscriber from U.K. really enjoying your channel, especially these on the shelf reviews.

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Best videos, Jason. I really enjoy how you cover stuff. Excellent. The Rye really got my attention.

[@jeffpurnell4359]

Very informative as always Jason. I have a bottle of the Rye & it’s pretty good. I have a question regarding the Single Barrel Barrel Poof. If you had to compare it to one of the higher proof Old Forester bourbons- profile wise... hey- maybe a Head to Head in the future?? Cheer buddy 🥃

[@JonathanBrownBaq]

Really enjoyed this video, informative and less annoying than many videos where a lot of words but nothing interesting being said. 🎉

[@swiftmovers3827]

My brother in law brought over a bottle of single barrel select for Christmas, now it has a permanent place on my shelf.

[@johnmcdonough666]

I amazed how much I love the single barrel rye.

[@debrabrokman4518]

THE BEST !!! I LOVE YOUR PRESENTATION !!! I ONLY WATCH YOU !!!

[@jacobvaldez9988]

I'm living EU-side at the moment and have gotten accustomed to paying a premium for American whiskey. However, I found a random corner store that had a lone bottle of SBS on the shelf for the equivalent of like $20 USD, picked it up without hesitation (what a steal!) and am stoked with the results! Great review btw.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Jacob! They are delicious whiskeys

[@rickygarner7719]

Love your channel better than all the rest combined 💪🏻

[@bourbonapprentice]

Awesome review. I went to a jack tasting with the assistant master distiller at a restaurant in NC, great experience! Those single barrels are light years beyond Old Number 7. Barrel proof is excellent! We also tasted their maple barrel finished one. I was underwhelmed with that

[@TheMashandDrum]

Haven't had that one but yeah...huge fan of what they Are doing with their single barrels.

[@johncannon3593]

Revisiting this video as I sip the SB (store pick). It and the SB BP are among my favorites these days. If you think Jack is crap, you need to try the high end stuff. It will change your opinion of Jack Daniels (it has mine).

[@bigdave2952]

I bought a SBBP a few weeks ago, was blown away by how great it is! Great review.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Dave. I love the stuff. Cheers.

[@erere244]

My absolute favorite JDSBBP. can't get enough of it.

Thanks Kyle!!

[@WhiskeyStraightAl]

Couldn't agree more Jason - those single barrel selects are top notch. Cheers on another great video.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Al! I love these releases!

[@jackthepickledhound]

Thanks Jason, may be the best wiskey-tube video ever, or it's exactly the review I need this weekend. Very bad memories from highschool. Maybe it was the bananas. A local shop is expecting JDSBBP in their delivery tomorrow. Gonna skip the 47%. Canadian GlenCairn is ready to go! Cheers!

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Jack! You will love it!

[@VincentVader]

I love the SB Barrel Proof.

[@phychmasher]

JD SBBP disappeared here in AZ for a few months then came back a little more expensive. It's still around $70 most places and still an amazing whiskey for the price!

[@aubsta1]

I went out and bought it

[@jamesbradley8024]

Jason you’re AMAZING! Luv the schooling from each video keep it up! Everyone should taste JDBP it’s soooooo good

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks James!!

[@DeMan-1032]

Wow the BP is unreal!! Thanks Jason I would have passe this up if I had not seen this video. I would put this up against bottles over $$$....

[@craigbenfield3047]

The JD barrel proof is one my favorite pours. It would be a great review to compare JD rye to JD single barrel rye, the proof point is close but a big difference in price.

[@memo6453]

JDSBBP and Wild Turkey Rare Breed are absolute Winners! For sure on my list of rebuys

[@dragland7268]

JD SBBP is one of my favorites. Delicious!

[@davidschweibold256]

A great drinking game is every time Jason says Caramel take a shot. Lol! In all honesty, love JD and love your reviews, very spot on with my flavor profile.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Lol! Totally! I definitely get alot of caramel in these. Maple too. Cheers David.

[@iamalan4221]

His new word is marzipan. 😂

[@BourbonLiberty]

I keep seeing this on the shelf. I need to stop chasing unicorns and grab one of these. Need more available barrel strength unfiltered whiskeys in my bar.

[@TheMashandDrum]

You won't be dissapointed

[@iansammons2730]

Just tried the Total Wines JDSBS (47%). $60 in Delaware. Blinded it quickly against some other ~90proofers. It got beat but was in a virtual tie with Michters US1 Bourbon ($50 bottle in PA, $48 I think in DE)... and was well behind Elijah Craig Single Barrel ($35 in Delaware, $40 in PA) and Eagle Rare ($35 in PA)... so not a bottle I will replace; but not bad. Probably should have got the Barrel Proof instead as it seems like the much better value.

[@motohead077]

Yes, I think all JD stuff is very over priced except for the BP at $45-65. Maybe up to $70 for the BP picks, since you can find the age & it's almost always longer than the others.

[@bossmanbossman4569]

U were right, u were right. After I watched the video, I went and purchased it. As soon as the video ended.It was like warm banana nut bread. With a very light layer of Peter Pan peanut butter. It’s JD #7 on Steroids. Mmmmmgood.

[@kevk20]

I have a bottle of JDSBBP on the way to me here in Ireland next day or so. Review to follow!

[@mcgee5054]

Just tried a glass at the pub it had an amazing nose very unique, the taste was so close to the no7 I'm wondering if the select is better, tomorrow hopefully.

[@chrisb48907]

i just cracked a barrel proof...damn ! so good..may grab the regular single barrel just to have along with it...cheers buddy !

[@TheMashandDrum]

Cheers Chris!

[@richardstevens8494]

Another great review!!! You should also review Uncle Nearest 1856 as well which is 100 proof and maple charcoal filtered.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Definitely on the list. Thanks! Love the story of uncle Nearest!

[@johncannon3593]

Standard No. 7 is only good for adding to Coke (but it is amazing at that!). I only recently tried the Single Barrel for the first time, and was supremely impressed. I'd like to try the Barrel Proof and compare it to ECBP, of which I am a fan and have 3 different expressions.

[@danbowen5106]

Agree 100% and am also a huge fan of the standard JD single barrel select and have been itching to try the barrel proof. Did you ever give it a try and how did it compare to the regular single barrel?

[@jasono.1629]

I tried two neat pours of JD single barrel select and Wild Turkey 101 at a bar recently, my 1st time trying both. JD single barrel select way better than Wild Turkey 101 to me. More flavor even though it’s slightly lower proof, with less alcohol burn. Worth paying $10 more for a bottle over WT 101. Kinda tastes like a lower-proof 4 roses single barrel, but with some banana-bread flavor. Now need to try the JD barrel proof version.

[@wildlifewhiskey3636]

Great job man. love that BP

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks man! It's amazing stuff.

[@V8kerker]

I know it's not single barrel, but it would've been nice to see how JD #27 compares. I've liked all the SB I tried so far, but haven't had the rye yet.

[@biguy525]

I never cared much for the standard JD but last fall I was in the liquor store and the guy was putting JD single barrel barrel proof on the shelf and I asked about it. He said if I never had it that I should try it. I bought a bottle and that stuff is real good.

[@TheMashandDrum]

It really is. Gotta look past that old no. 7 and see what JD is doing with these SBs. Great whiskey. Cheers.

[@dccoletrain]

Managed to make my JD barrel proof bottle last 2 weeks.... I already miss it. Lol

[@TheMashandDrum]

Lol. It's so damn good!

[@dvran]

Damn you’re spot on with this. I think JD BP is so underrated, and for $65 it’s amazing. I’m letting the other guys chase the EC Barrel Proof and stocking these.

[@JohnGrove310]

$34 at Total Wine

[@beaglegod1]

@@JohnGrove310 That might be for the 375 ml. bottle, if not Id buy every bottle on the shelf.

@@swancakes I also live in CA and at TW the Single Barrel Barrel Proof is $55.99 and the Store Pick / Master Distillers Pick is $68.99. You might just be thinking of the Single Barrel thats 47% at that price point.

@@MichaelBSteeleAviation it is def the barrel barell proof, but it might have been on sale. TW has some great deals.

[@BudsCartoon]

I think the cat's out of the bag with the JDBP. After Heritage blew up, people started to take note of JDs top shelf offerings. The BEST JD IMO is the Hickory Smoked Tennessee Taster series at 100 proof. Holy shit is it delicious!? It's a North Carolina BBQ. Most "smoked" whiskey that I've had is overly smoked, but this is PERFECT and nothing like a peaty smoke. It's, sweet, it's maple, it's BBQ, it's corn, it's pork... I have seen 375mL bottles just sit on shelves at $39.99-$32.99 and I am flabbergasted. It's better than Heritage hands down.

[@TheMashandDrum]

I've had 2 of the Tennessee tasters and they were both really good. Wish I could get them more often being Tennessee exclusive.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

I never realized you don’t do Scotch, and that Irish whiskey does have a lot in common with the American whiskies. Especially the single pot still

[@nayahri]

I'm going to try the barrel proof this weekend! Does anyone have a good cigar pairing suggestion for this whiskey?

[@austinscott2577]

I think JD SBBP is one of the best whiskeys, period. Its a steal at $60 and change. We always have some at home.

[@TheMashandDrum]

[@TheWhiskyExplorer]

Great rundown J! Thanks for the reviews. We can only get the Single Barrel Select in my area of 🇨🇦. I’ve been hearing great things about the barrel proof and it just won the barrel proof shoot out on STDs!

[@TheMashandDrum]

Exactly. But all the single barrels are so much more than just the old no. 7. People need to try this Whiskey. Cheers!

[@TheWhiskyExplorer]

I am super excited to pick up these, especially the Barrel Proof. I have always been a big fan of the JD Single barrel and after watching the @scotchtestdummies both pick the JDSBBP as their top choice for barrel proof bourbon, I am all in!!

[@TheMashandDrum]

Do it buddy!

[@nolenlifts4661]

The barrel proof was really hot for me, might let it sit and open up

[@trewright1482]

As it should be at 128 proof. Put a ice cube with it and you’ll be fine.

[@gcbwoods]

Great review. Was hunting for the Heritage Release and gave up by settling for the Single Barrel Barrel Proof. I have been content and satisfied and have given up on the chase. Good stuff Jack!

[@V8kerker]

gbcwoods try hunting for it in the summer to fall time frame, I got the local liquor store to order it from the distributor.

[@gcbwoods]

@@V8kerker thanks for the advice. I have been looking during the release season. The stores in my region have also reached out to their sales rep. I guess they just dont have enough clout to get a few bottles from them

[@ADHDWhiskey]

Wish they offered that Rye at Barrel proof. Now that would be the ticket. Think it happens in 2020?

[@TheMashandDrum]

I wish! Such a good point. I also wish there was more of a bite to it. It's really sweet but has a different flavor with the Lincoln county process. Cheers

[@sam-wham563]

I would also love a BP rye from them. I went internet sluething and found a 127 proof BP rye (pretty sure sib) from their taster collection.... but it's only sold in Tennessee. If you're in the area TW has it on their site lol

[@zackwest3665]

Would you look at that!???! Rye my next bottle.

[@jimsiff]

I'm not a huge fan of Old No. 7, but JD SBBP was an eye opening bottle for me. It's a damn fine whiskey, period. I don't think there's a better American whiskey at the $50 price point.

[@TheMashandDrum]

You might be right Jim.

[@bupegasus]

I had the JDBP in a blind flight vs ECBP A120, Stagg Jr. Batch 13, and OF 1920 and it came in dead last. I hated the JDBP, it reminded me of those disgusting yellow laffy taffies. My ranking was: Stagg Jr. Batch 13 ECBP A120 OF 1920 (verrrrrrrry close to ECBP, such a hard time deciding here but eventually gave the edge to ECBP) - - - - - - - - - - way down here is JDBP. Maybe my bottle came from a bad barrel but god it was putrid.

[@inf0phreak]

The only JD SBs I've been able to find here in Denmark are the Select, the Rye and the BiB. The former two I haven't tried, but the latter is quite nice. And it's a clear upgrade over JD ON7 which I find impossible to stomach outside of a Jack & Coke due to its acetone character. What's weird though is that apprently JD SB BiB is supposed to be a travel retail product, but I can order it online and it's the same price as JD SB Select. PS: Throw a JD ON7 in the freezer and use that in a Jack & Coke without ice. Best version hands down. Ice destroys carbonation due to adding a lot of nucleation sites and waters down the drink like crazy.

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks I may try that. Cheers.

[@dane5896]

My Wife bought me the JDBP for Christmas. It disappeared way toooo quickly! Just picked up another bottle. 😁

[@TheMashandDrum]

Jason have you tried Jack Daniel's Eric Church Special Edition? If you haven't you should. It knocks everything that is there & their mama's outta the park.

[@bigzach322]

While the single barrel select I purchased last year was an improvement over No. 7 or Gentleman, overall I was disappointed considering the NC price point of $57. I could've picked up at least 40 cheaper bourbons that I like more. Fast forward to tonight when I finally grabbed a barrel proof courtesy of the stimulus check, and this blows all other JD products out of the water. Since it is only $13 more than the single barrel at $70, the upgrade is obvious. Not to mention all of the bottles in their select line are arguably the best whiskey bottles on the market, both the 375 mL and 750 mL are top notch. I've used the 375 mL bottle to split purchases multiple times. This was a great video!

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Zachary! The barrel proof is just fantastic

[@bigzach322]

@@TheMashandDrum It's so damn good, only on my second glass but easily eclipses the ECBP A119 and is equal to the Knob Creek SiB 15-yr store pick I bought last year as far as high proof bourbons are concerned.
