WHAT'S ON THE SHELF WEDNESDAY | Jack Daniel's Single Barrels

[@dennismhac23]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@cuba1266]

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

[@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.

Select is awesome

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@seanspartan2023]

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

[@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).

[@johnmcdonough666]

I amazed how much I love the single barrel rye.

[@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!

[@franks4973]

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

[@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.

[@magellan500]

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

[@swiftmovers3827]

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

[@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.

[@JonathanBrownBaq]

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

[@debrabrokman4518]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@memo6453]

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

[@erere244]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Dans92578]

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?

[@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.

[@blackice3395]

Just got a bottle today! Barrel proof

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 $$$....

[@aubsta1]

I went out and bought it

[@blairgoltra7915]

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

[@TheMashandDrum]

Thanks Blair. Appreciate the kind words.

[@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.

[@kevk20]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!!👍🏻

[@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

[@ironmantran]

THIS is the show i come to settle controversies (good vs bad bottle) + the final words : great show ! thx

[@TheMashandDrum]

Cheers Tim! Thanks for watching!

[@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.

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.

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.

Yes it is! I’m trying to get 4-5 bottles in my collection until it turns into the next hot thing

[@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.

[@gtheels1319]

I love the JD Barrel Proof it's soooo Good!!!!😂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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
