Jack Daniels is launching a limited edition barrel-proof rye whiskey in celebration of its long-standing history as an American whiskey producer.
Just just 200 barrels of the 'Tennessee Rye Whiskey' produced, the exclusive release is intended for those with an acute taste for the full-bodied spirit. Each bottle contains uncut whiskey taken directly from the barrel, giving it a richer flavor due to the lack of dilution.
Assistant Master Distiller Chris Fletcher spoke to the limited edition launch, stating "The full barrel-proof version of our rye whiskey shines with amazing balance. The complexity from start to finish is unmatched. This is the first broad release of barrel-proof rye whiskey here at Jack Daniel’s, and we can’t wait to get it out to the world.”
