First Impressions
Single Barrel Select pours a deep amber, noticeably darker than standard Old No. 7.
Distillery & Heritage
Launched in 1997, Single Barrel was Jack Daniel's first major line extension in decades. Master Distiller Jeff Arnett (and now Chris Fletcher) hand-selects barrels from the upper reaches of the Lynchburg barrelhouses.
Tasting Notes in Detail
The Lincoln County Process — charcoal mellowing through 10 feet of sugar maple — is still in play, but the upper-floor maturation gives this an oakier, spicier character.
Verdict
The Jack Daniel's most bourbon drinkers don't realise exists.
