Jack Daniel's Single Barrel (Barrel Proof) Review

[@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.

[@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

[@PhinClio]

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

[@GainsMarathon]

Lol

[@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

[@blast3028]

here's the thing

[@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.

[@solractrades]

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

[@Cypeq]

I can never see myself having this many bottles, I can't stop opening whatever I buy, I hope to consume in few months before it starts getting stale.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@DaleLClay]

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

[@EthEdr]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.

[@thedrunkenfish5855]

I got the barrel select version of this since I had a discount...can I get some feedback if the price of barrel select is worth it ?

[@seanspartan2023]

I was really disappointed by JD bottle in bond. Barrel proof is so much better. It's on a whole other level.

[@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

[@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!

[@AndrewDembouski]

Daniel: “Black charred marshmallow.” Rex: “a little bit” Daniel: “you see what I mean?” Rex: “yep” Daniel: explains what he means

[@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.

[@rockermork]

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

[@gman5986]

How do you compare to Elijah Craig Barrel Proof ???? ECBP is 12 years old and I'm reading JDSBBP is from 4 to 7 years old which shocked me but no info on the JD website.

[@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.

[@Scionfrs088]

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

[@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.

[@OrionsKelt]

Shhhhhh! You guys were supposed to keep this a secret to stop the price from going up! Lmfao

[@CombativeLlama]

3 years later this bottle at 750ml is $60 from Total Wine. I picked up a 375ml a couple months back for about $40. I still haven't opened it but if its as good as you guys say I'm definitely looking forward to it.

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!

[@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.🥃

[@markwalker619]

Good video. The only thing, where is this 140? JD SB BP is 50 bucks in WA

[@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

[@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!!

[@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?

[@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!

[@gustavjansson6499]

Im not a fan of Jack Daniels, but if should buy myself a bottle, should i go for this one?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yes! When you get Jack Daniels, at higher proofs, you realize what it’s capable of

[@Xxxyyyzzzaaa]

This is fantastic whiskey. 130 proof rocket fuel is so smooth it should have a warning label. Its worth more than Blantons as stupid as that may sound

[@FermentedGrains420]

Love this bottle. I get a carmelized banana bread thing on this one. Also, this is less than $70 for the 750mL where I'm at.

[@nickcunningham7109]

I see Stranahan’s over Daniel’s left shoulder. Have you reviewed it before?

[@threesons270]

Would this be on par with Stagg Jr?

[@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.

[@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.

[@RussShawTV]

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

[@justincarey7992]

You guys got quoted 140? I paid 60 Canadian and I think it's fantastic value at 60 bux

[@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.

[@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.

[@travelfreakshorts8242]

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

[@petarpetrov198]

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.?

[@kauenejedlo4901]

Which one is better? The single barrel barrel proof rye or the single barrel barrel proof (bourbon)?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Bourbon

[@jeremybamgbade]

The Rye for sure.

[@hungary191296]

Does Jack Daniels make any whiskey that doesn't go through the charcoal filtering?

[@RL3AO]

No because the charcoal filtering is what makes it Tennessee whiskey and not just bourbon made in Tennessee.

[@dewaynejackson2880]

[@MrJaneails22x]

Gotta say, the energy was a bit low on this one. They appeared to phone this one in a bit. It’s okay, we all have off days. Fancy Dan tried upping the excitement a little bit, but there’s only so much you can do. This bottle is $65 at 750ml in Ohio and is near the top of the list for me all time. Just stunning whiskey experience.
