Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select is hand-picked from the upper floors of Lynchburg's barrelhouses — where the most extreme temperature swings produce the most flavourful Tennessee whiskey. Each barrel is individually selected by the tasting panel, and the single barrel format means every bottle carries its own individual character.
At 94 proof (47% ABV), Single Barrel Select has notably more intensity than the standard Old No. 7 at 80 proof. The Lincoln County Process charcoal mellowing is still present, providing the distinctive JD smoothness, but the higher proof and single barrel selection allow more flavour to express itself. Toffee, cherry, caramel and a genuine cinnamon-pepper spice emerge.
Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Select is considered one of the best-value single barrel American whiskeys available. The combination of barrel selection, higher proof and individual character creates a Tennessee whiskey that significantly outperforms the standard range. For JD fans, it is the obvious upgrade. For whiskey drinkers generally, it is a consistently good single barrel at a fair price.
