Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye Spirits & The Bottle House 750ml

Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Rye is drawn from one barrel at a time, and this one was picked by Spirits & The Bottle House, so the profile belongs to that individual cask rather than to a blend. The rye recipe leads with rye grain instead of corn, and like everything at Lynchburg it is charcoal-mellowed before it goes into new charred oak — a step that sands the edges off a grain which can turn sharp. Expect rye spice, dill and toasted oak on the nose, a palate of black pepper, caramel and dried orange, and a dry, spicy finish. Build it into a Manhattan, or drink it neat over one cube.
