About this episode
The crew reviews the Jack Daniel’s Special Release Small Batch Rye, highlighting its unique production and maturation process.
The crew reviews the Jack Daniel’s Special Release Small Batch Rye, which consists of five high-proof batches of Tennessee Rye Whiskey sourced from Coy Hill, Boiler Hill, and Fire Brigade Fields barrelhouses. Presented at barrel proof in 375 mL bottles and proof points ranging from 142.7 to 146.1, the special release represents some of the most unparalleled and limited Tennessee Rye Whiskey to emerge from the Lynchburg distillery. A total of 129 Tennessee Rye Whiskey barrels with entry dates spanning 18 months (from February 2016 to August 2017) were matured for an average of 10 years across three barrelhouse groups. The well-known Coy Hill produced two of the five batches while two new locations, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields are where three additional batches were matured. Forged in the heart of Lynchburg, Coy Hill, Boiler Hill and Fire Brigade Fields showcase three unique landscapes at the Jack Daniel Distillery.
