Detailed DescriptionJack Daniel’s created their “first new grain bill in 100 years” for their rye whiskey line. Tennessee Rye is the company’s fourth rye release. They started with Unaged Rye in 2012, Rested Rye in 2014, and Single Barrel Rye in 2016. According to the company, the whiskey uses the same cave spring water from the Jack Daniel’s Hollow and proprietary yeast that’s been used in the distillery’s 150-year-old Tennessee Whiskey recipe. The rye is aged in the upper regions of their barrel house where it’s exposed to increased temperature variation. The Single Barrel Rye was thought to be 4 years old and the Tennessee Rye is believed to include some 5 year old stock in its blend, although the company hasn’t officially stated this. Jack Daniel’s has confirmed with us they have no plans to discontinue the Single Barrel Rye now that Tennessee Rye is on the shelves.Jack Daniels Tennessee Straight Rye Whiskey Tasting NotesNose: Fried banana, hot chocolate and a hint of toasted grain.Palate: Drying cinnamon and nutmeg, followed by more chocolatey notes.
