Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Single Barrel Whiskey Pint 375 ML
| Description: | Jack Daniels Barrel Proof Single Barrel Whiskey Pint 375 Ml Hard to find! The straight from the barrel experience means that it comes without dilution and at variable strength, starting at 125 proof and going all the way up to a scorching 140 proof. By comparison, standard Jack Daniel's black label comes in at 80 proof and the regular Single Barrel strength is set at 94.Jack Daniels has never released a barrel strength whiskey. That's changing, with the release of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof, the company's first-ever cask strength offering. The whiskey is not a terribly complicated idea: Take the Jd Single Barrel Select and don't water it down. Single Barrel is a consistent 94 proof, but these are bottled at whatever the cask gives you, ranging from 125 to 140 proof, depending on the bottle you get. To us this is the purest, most authentic expression of Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey you could offer straight out of the barrel and into the bottle," says assistant master distiller Christopher Fletcher, who was involved in its creation from start to finish. He adds that the product had been in the works for a while and when the market became "as good as it's been in decades," the decision was made that the timing was right. "i wish we'd done it a little while back," he chuckles. Fletcher, the grandson of Frank Bobo, a former Jack Daniel's master distiller, casts the release in terms of whiskey purity in the face of what he calls some "outlandish offerings" from other distillers in the interest of enlarging their portfolios. "It's the simplification of being able to sample, to literally sample, a barrel and not only have it be a barrel-strength product, but also a true single-barrel product with each barrel providing a different experience from proof-content to flavor-content as well. Cask strength typically reflects more than just more alcohol. In the straight whiskey world, more proof usually means more flavor and it certainly proves true with this dram. It's a big, brash whiskey that goes on an adventuresome palate safari that includes wood, vanilla, fruits, spices, nuts and chocolate. |
